Document Summary
With lab (no lab this week, take home lab next week) Chapter 1: cosmology and the birth of earth. We come from the dust of earth from a star that exploded years ago. Stellar nebula: created by a cloud of dust. Every element heavier than helium was created in a star during fusion. Every element heavier than iron was created in the explosion of a star. Cloud of ash and dust coalesces and creates a big glob of material. The universe contains 2 basic elements: matter and energy. The scientific method provides a foundation to explore the cosmos. A hypothesis is what separates science from all other things. If a test is successful (many tests later) theory. Theories are the why of things easier for us to figure out what than why, which is why theories are so important. Figured out that the stars are fixed relative to each other. All the stars rotate about a fixed point.
