Two different models of the process of creation existed in ancient Israel. [15] In the "logos" (speech) model, God speaks and shapes unresisting dormant matter into effective existence and order (Psalm 33: "By the word of YHWH the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their hosts; he gathers up the waters like a mound, stores the Deep in vaults"); in the second, or "agon ...
There is a smaller chance that the next core collapse supernova will be produced by a different type of massive star such as a yellow hypergiant, luminous blue variable, or Wolf–Rayet. The chances of the next supernova being a type Ia produced by a white dwarf are calculated to be about a third of those for a core collapse supernova.
Gravitational collapse of a massive star, resulting in a Type II supernova. Gravitational collapse is the contraction of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity. [1] Gravitational collapse is a fundamental mechanism for structure formation in the universe.
The Big Bang itself is a scientific theory, and as such, stands or falls by its agreement with observations. [2] However, as a theory which addresses the nature of the universe since its earliest discernible existence, the Big Bang carries possible theological implications regarding the concept of creation out of nothing.
A Type II supernova or SNII [1] (plural: supernovae) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star. A star must have at least eight times, but no more than 40 to 50 times, the mass of the Sun ( M ☉ ) to undergo this type of explosion. [ 2 ]
As the dust cloud collapsed from a nearby supernova event, the resulting material formed a spinning disk that eventually gave rise to our sun and the planets, according to NASA.
Throughout this collapse and bounce, the evolution is unitary. Bojowald also claimed that some properties of the universe that collapsed to form ours can be determined; however, other properties are not determinable due to some uncertainty principle. This result has been disputed by different groups, which show that due to restrictions on ...
In work that was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics, supernova observations were used to determine that cosmic expansion is accelerating in the present epoch. [ 29 ] By assuming a cosmological model, e.g. the Lambda-CDM model , another possibility is to infer the present-day expansion rate from the sizes of the largest fluctuations seen in ...
