Explanations or ways of knowing that invoke metaphysical, non-naturalistic or supernatural mechanisms, whether called "creation science," "scientific creationism," "intelligent design theory," "young earth theory," or similar designations, are outside the scope of science and therefore are not part of a valid science curriculum."
Luminiferous aether theory; Static Universe theory [14] Steady state theory, a model developed by Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle whereby the expanding universe was in a steady state, and had no beginning. It was a competitor of the Big Bang model until evidence supporting the Big Bang and falsifying the steady state was found.
Julian Barbour (/ ˈ b ɑːr b ər /; born 1937) is a British physicist with research interests in quantum gravity and the history of science.. Since receiving his PhD degree on the foundations of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity at the University of Cologne in 1968, Barbour has supported himself and his family without an academic position, working part-time as a translator ...
The Big Crunch is a hypothetical scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the expansion of the universe eventually reverses and the universe recollapses, ultimately causing the cosmic scale factor to reach absolute zero, an event potentially followed by a reformation of the universe starting with another Big Bang.
Something is changing the expansion rate of the universe, scientists have said. For decades, researchers have been attempting to measure the “Hubble constant”, or the speed at which the cosmos ...
The research suggests matter is not as “clumpy” as would be expected based on the current best model of the universe. According to the scientists, this adds to a body of evidence that there ...
Nothing would. As things stand now, the whole universe should have annihilated itself. But, obviously, the universe has not annihilated itself. After all, we’re here to ask all these probing ...
