Ben T. - Theories of the Universe



Most interesting- That in the bubble theory there are thousands upon thousands of bubbles that contain universes.

Research- Most of the information was very complicated to locate.



Bubble- Explains how the multiple parallel universes explained in the multiverse theory exist and interact with each other.
• States that each universe is an large membranous bubble, among an infinite number of other bubbles, rippling through the eleventh dimension. This fits well with the established idea of cosmic inflation.
• Some quantum physicists believe that a few of these bubbles actually exist less than a millimeter away from ours, but in another dimension. According to this we are rubbing shoulders with infinite versions of ourselves in parallel worlds.
• One major supporting factor is that gravity should be much stronger than it is. Therefore, it is thought to be leaking into our universe from all these other crazy dimensions.

Relativity
• Explains that time is dependent on space because even though two people may be watching the same thing the one that is farther away will be noticing it at a different time even though the occurrence happened at a certain time.
• First three are space and the fourth is spacetime which is a dimension where time and space are inextricably linked. Meaning that their link is incredibly complex and is impossible to undo.
Big Bang
• To start their was a tremendous explosion and at the time of explosion all matter and energy was contained at one point. However no one knows what existed prior to this event
• This was not a typical explosion, the Big bang was an explosion of space within itself
• It filled all of space with all the particles of the embryonic universe going away from each other
• Unlike explosion of a bomb the fragments were thrown outward
• Also the galaxies were very spread out and not close together at all.
• This laid out foundations for the universe
• Origin theory came from Edwin Hubble who-

-Discovered that a galaxies velocity is proportional to its distance
- Observations gave a foundation for big bang theory



String theory-
• The theory itself is very simple
• States that everything in the world is created out of tiny strings instead of many types of elementary type particles
• The theory is still under development due to the lack of technology at the time that we need to look at things close enough to see if everything is truly made of strings.
• For that reason there are many string theories defined by the symmetry of the strings and requirements of what they are, closed loops or open loops as well as many combinations of the two.
• Sometimes this theory is referred to as the theory of everything due to it affecting everything in the universe.
• Also it is thought to as being the best candidate for a unified theory meaning that it ties everything together to form a single theory.

M-Theory
• The m-theory is very similar to the string theory as it is just an extension to it.
• Technology has progressed allowing scientists to create this extension to the string theory.
• This allows them to put all the many string theories together into one.
• The m-theory lives in 11 dimensions. However it looks ten dimensional in some points of space.
• Such a theory could use an object such as membranes and when we curl the 11th dimension into a small circle the membranes would look like strings.


- We have made a lot of advancements but the mystery of the universe is still unsolved

  1. This presentation was very well presented and had some very good information to back it up. I like that you included many theories instead of just 2 or 3. It helped because many people do not know about the M-theory, string theory, or the relative theory. This was well thought up and a good presentation.

  2. I really liked the part about the bubble theory because I did a bubble theory, except it was about the creation of life so it was totally different and I thought it was cool to see the comparison between the two.

  3. I enjoyed your presentation. I liked that you just stated short statements instead of sentances.

  4. This was a good presentation, but I think you put too many pictures in it. Also, if you put the information from below the power point in the power point, it would have been easier to read.

  5. I really liked your powerpoint. The reason why I liked it is because you gave a brief description of many theories which is more interesting to me than learning about just one theory.
