Document Summary
Chapter 1: scientific theory and the big bang. 1. 0 introduction: the foundation of science is scientific theory, big bang theory, leading theory in how the universe originated. In fact, of course, maple-syrup-hating canadians do exist; as soon as one is spotted by any observer in any location, the above theory falls apart! In 1990 scientists at nasa installed a huge optical the telescope into earth orbit, naming it the hubble space telescope in his honor. Paeasec=3. 26 times the distance light travels in one year: h0 is the hubble constant, the speed of expansion of the universe, he assumed it was constant but this turned out to be somewhat wrong. In simplest terms, you can calculate how far from earth an object is by dividing its velocity (obtained from its amount of redshift) by the rate of expansion factor. Always remember your assumption: your calculation assumes that.
