What is the big bang theory?

• A theory that states why the universe started.

• A theory that states that the universe was there, will be and is there. Is homogeneous and isotropic.

• A theory that states that the universe is infinite.

• A theory that states that the universe started in a singularity and then expanded, the expansion cooled down the temperature and that resulted in the formation of matter, energy, space and time.

what are the TWO things opposing each other that will determine how the universe ends?

• Gravity

• expansion rate

• Dark Matter

• Nuclear fusion

NGSS.HS-PS2-4

material that does not emit any light (or not detected yet), but has a significant gravitational effect.

• Gravity

• Dark Matter

• Dark Energy

• Hubble Constant

What is happening to the expansion of the universe

• it has stopped

• it is slowing

• it is staying the same

• it is speeding up

the energy of empty space, causing the universe as a whole to expand, opposes gravity on a universal scale.

• Gravity

• Dark Matter

• Dark Energy

• Hubble Constant

The universe starts shrinking then crushes to an infinitesimally small space and possibly spawns a new big bang - least likely to happen end according to data currently.

• Big Rip

• Big Crunch

• Big Freeze
