Learning Competency

At the end of this lesson, the given enrichment competency


should be met by the students.

● Describe the historical development of theories that


explain the origin of the universe.
Learning Objectives

At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to


do the following:

● Explain the origin of the universe according to the big


bang theory.

● Identify different proponents that support the big bang


theory.

● Enumerate the negative implications of the big bang


theory.
What do you
think the
raisin bread
and the
universe have
in common?
Like a freshly
made dough,
do you think
that the
universe is
capable of
expanding?
Let’s try to explore the
existing ideas on the
origin and creation of
the universe.

Big Bang Theory


• The big bang theory is a cosmological model that
explains how the universe began.

• It suggests that the universe started its expansion about


13.8 billion years ago based on latest calculations.

• The concept of big bang is not a literal explosion of


something that led to the creation of the universe.

Big Bang Theory and the Bread-Raisin Model

• The bread represents


the universe, while
raisins are the galaxies.

• The galaxies,
represented by the
dots, are not
expanding. The raisin-bread model of expanding universe
Learn about It!

• Distances in relation to other galaxies just increase


because of the expanding universe.

In the big bang theory, matter dilutes as the universe expands.

“Singularity”
• The universe started as a
“singularity,” an area
predicted to be in the
core of a black hole with
very high temperature
and density.

concept of singularity

“Singularity”
• The intense heat resulted
in the formation of matter
and antimatter particles
that were destroyed every
time they collided with
each other.

“Nucleosynthesis”
• Nucleosynthesis is the
formation of elements,
such as H and He.

• Presence of these elements


led to the formation of
stars and galaxies.

“Nucleosynthesis”

• The presence of stars


led to the formation of
other cosmic bodies,
such as planets,
comets, and asteroids.

Evidence That Support the Big Bang Theory

• The expansion of the universe is supported by the


observation that galaxies are receding from us.

• The high amount of light elements, such as H, He, and Li.


These elements were formed through the fusion of protons
and neutrons immediately after the big bang.

Evidence That Support the Big Bang Theory

• The detection of the cosmic


microwave background
(CMB) radiation, which is the
residue or heat leftover from
the big bang

Proponents of the Big Bang Theory

• Georges Henri Joseph Edouard


Lemaître was the first proponent
of the theory. He suggested the
idea of the expanding universe.

Proponents of the Big Bang Theory

• Edwin Powell Hubble established


the Hubble’s law, which provided
an evidence that the universe was
not static but expanding.

Edwin Powell Hubble


(1889 – 1953)

Proponents of the Big Bang Theory

• Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson


discovered that microwaves with
wavelengths of about 7 cm were
present in space.

Proponents of the Big Bang Theory

• These waves were referred to as


the cosmic microwave
background (CMB) radiation.

Drawbacks of the Big Bang Theory

• It fails to explain how the universe was created.

• It just explains how the universe evolves and not


where it originated.

• It also fails to explain how the galaxies formed.


Key Points

● Big bang theory


The big bang theory suggests that the universe started as a
“singularity,” an area predicted to be in the core of a black hole
with very high temperature and density.

● Proponents
The proponents of the idea of an expanding universe are
Georges Henri Joseph Edouard Lemaître, Edwin Powell Hubble,
Arno Penzias, and Robert Wilson.
Key Points

● Hubble’s law
Hubble’s law states that the relationship of the velocities of
distant objects in the universe is directly proportional to their
distance from Earth.

● Drawback
The big bang theory fails to explain how the universe was
created.
Check Your Understanding

Identify the proponent of the theory that


explains the following statements.
1. The the universe originated in an explosive act of
primeval atom or the “cosmic egg.”
2. Microwaves with wavelengths of about 7 centimeters
were present in space.
3. The cosmic rays were “ashes and smoke of bright but
very rapid fireworks,” and they originated when the
primeval atom disintegrated.
Check Your Understanding

Identify the proponent of the theory that


explains the following statements.

4. The relationship of the velocities of distant objects in


the universe is in proportion to their distance from
Earth.
5. The amount of redshift is proportional to the
distance of the galaxy.
