2.

Who believed that the universe was static and introduced the term "cosmological constant" in his equation of relativity?

a)

George Lemaitre

Edwin Hubble

c)

Albert Einstein

George Gamow

3.

Unknown force that is pushing bodies in the opposite direction and proportional to the gravitational attraction.

a)

Big Bang Theory

b)

Theory of relativity

c)

Doppler effect

d)

Cosmic constant

4.

He said that the stillness of the universe was mere appearance. He discovered more galaxies other than the Milky Way and he calculated the distance between these.

a)

George Lemaitre

b)

Edwin Hubble

c)

Rober Wilson

d)

Robert Herman

5.

Select correct answer: "When an object emits a sonorous wave is closer to an observer, the waves compress as they approximate. When it gets far from you, the waves widens in space more each time, and their intensity slowly decreases."

a)

Mandela Effect

b)

Doppler Effect

c)

Effect of Reality

d)

Sound Effect

6.

Hubble discovered this about galaxies:

a)

Collection of planets

b)

Cosmic dust

c)

Dark matter

d)

Energy that are moving away from each other

e)

The Universe is static

7.

Proposes that the phenomenon that caused the expansion was a great explosion that took place 14,000 million years ago.

a)

Big Crunch Theory

b)

Big Bang Theory

c)

Oscillating Universe Theory

d)

Inflationary State Universe

8.

Person that predicted that, starting from an infinitely dense and heated beginning of matter, which caused the great explosion, an enormous amount of photons must have been released through the cosmos. Contributd to the Big Bang Theory.

a)

George Gamow

b)

George Lemaitre

c)

Edwin Hubble

d)

Alexander Friedmann

9.

Both these characters calculated the loss of heat of the light emitted by the explosion. Contributed to the Big Bang Theory.

a)

Robert Herman

b)

Alexander Friedmann

c)

Ralph Alpher

d)

Fred Hoyle

10.

Proposes that at some moment the attraction of the force of gravity will be greater than the impulse force resulting from the explosion; therefore, the Universe will stop its expansion and will collapse back its starting point, that is, a grand explosion or Big Crunch will occur.

a)

Stationary State

b)

Big Bang

c)

Big Crunch

d)

Inflationary State

11.

He reached the conclusion that, owing the tension between gravity and force of anti-gravity of the cosmological constants with which Einstein conceptually kept the Universe fixed, this was found in a weak equilibrium. Contributed to the Big Crunch theory.

a)

Edwin Hubble

b)

Arno Penzias

c)

Alexander Friedmann

d)

Thomas Gold

12.

Proposes that the Universe is in constant expansion due to the continuous creation of new matter that fills the gaps from the center of the Universe, left by matter that was previously displaced.

a)

Big Crunch

b)

Big Bang

c)

Inflationary State

d)

Stationary State

13.

Evidences of Pulse between Theories tell us:

a)

Cosmic radiation

b)

Wavelengths

c)

Hydrogen and Helium

d)

Dating due to brightness emitted by supernovas

14.

It is an addition to the Big Bang. Explains that in the initial seconds of the explosion, matter expanded in an exponential or inflationary manner, which agrees with the homogenity observed from any dierction and also with the fact that the explosion overcame the powerful initial force of gravity, when all matter was closer to the rest of matter.

a)

Big Bang

b)

Inflationary State

c)

Big Crunch

d)

Stationary State
