Black Holes by Lian A.
Black Holes
View more presentations from Bob Smith.
While researching, I discovered that there is more than just one type of black hole. I also learned that black holes are extremely dense. Finding information for this topic was easy, because there is loads of webpages and books about black holes.

Bailey Z. Theories of the Universe
It was easy to find facts about the Big Bang Theory, but as for the other theories of the universe, it became much more difficult. I found many interesting facts about the two theories, but probably the most interesting part was how fast the universe broke apart, yet how slow it took to get to where it is today.

I see learning new things about the universe fun so I likes learning this. Dark matter and dark energy is a very simple idea but it could be the key to our universe and other universes and if we could harness dark energy, our ideas could come to life and our imagination could go wild. We could do virtually anything.

This project was still fun for me but it wasn't my favorite project. I think that SETI is very cool, you can download a program from SETI that runs on you computer and slowly runs through a part of SETI's data. You don't even know it's running but your helping to find aliens! I had never heard of METI so it was nice to find out some information about them, wouldn't it be cool if we actually were able to talk with an alien? I found it more boring to research the search for non-intelegint life forms. All in all I learned a lot from this project!

Jennifer, Alex, and Allie - Theories of the Universe
This is Jennifer, Allie, and Alex's power point. We already knew some information about the Big Bang Theory, so we researched misconceptions and evidence of the theory. Then we researched the Quantum theory, which was confusing because we didn't know much about it. Something interesting that we found was that there was no actual explosion during the Big Bang theory.

Biblical Creationist Theory

Well, during my research I came across some very interesting theories. Most of them sounded very unrealistic and that people are just trying to find someway to convince themselves that the Biblical Creationist Theory isn't real. In my beliefs I believe this thoery. I found that all of the different theories out their were just very very interesting. it even reassures what I believe in. Research for this project I found to be very hard, their were a lot of formulas and large words that I didn't know. Getting past that obstace was very challenging.

Ben T. - Theories of the Universe
Universe Theories
View more presentations from Ben.
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

Some information I found interesting was how someone could just make up a theory to get themselves a name. Maybe it is just me, but I have no idea how the String Theory works. I understand some of the concepts, but the big picture is still a blur. Some of the theories I looked up were within my grasp, but some of the information I looked up was a little confusing. Overall, this research project helped me learn a lot of new information.
