  2. Nikolai Vavilov - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Vavilov

    In 1927, Vavilov presented his theory of centers of origin to the public at the Fifth International Congress of Genetics in Berlin. [12] In his institute at Leningrad , he created the world's largest collection of plant seeds; [ 8 ] by 1933, it contained over 148,000 specimens. [ 11 ]

  3. Hartle–Hawking state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartle–Hawking_state

    More precisely, the Hartle-Hawking state is a hypothetical vector in the Hilbert space of a theory of quantum gravity that describes the wave function of the universe.. It is a functional of the metric tensor defined at a (D − 1)-dimensional compact surface, the universe, where D is the spacetime dimension.

  4. Big Bounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce

    The Big Bounce hypothesis is a cosmological model for the origin of the known universe.It was originally suggested as a phase of the cyclic model or oscillatory universe interpretation of the Big Bang, where the first cosmological event was the result of the collapse of a previous universe.

  5. Cosmogony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmogony

    The Big Bang theory, which explains the Evolution of the Universe from a hot and dense state, is widely accepted by physicists.. In astronomy, cosmogony is the study of the origin of particular astrophysical objects or systems, and is most commonly used in reference to the origin of the universe, the Solar System, or the Earth–Moon system.

  6. Plasma cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cosmology

    Comparison of the evolution of the universe under Alfvén–Klein cosmology and the Big Bang theory. [1]Plasma cosmology is a non-standard cosmology whose central postulate is that the dynamics of ionized gases and plasmas play important, if not dominant, roles in the physics of the universe at interstellar and intergalactic scales.

  7. Initial singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_singularity

    The traditional model of the Big Bang. The use of only general relativity to predict what happened in the beginnings of the universe has been heavily criticized, as quantum mechanics becomes a significant factor in the high-energy environment of the earliest stage of the universe, and general relativity on its own fails to make accurate predictions.

  8. Ekpyrotic universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekpyrotic_universe

    The ekpyrotic universe (/ ˌ ɛ k p aɪ ˈ r ɒ t ɪ k /) [1] is a cosmological model of the early universe that explains the origin of the large-scale structure of the cosmos.The model has also been incorporated in the cyclic universe theory (or ekpyrotic cyclic universe theory), which proposes a complete cosmological history, both the past and future.

  9. Zero-energy universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-energy_universe

    Some physicists, such as Lawrence Krauss, Stephen Hawking or Alexander Vilenkin, call or called this state "a universe from nothingness", although the zero-energy universe model requires both a matter field with positive energy and a gravitational field with negative energy to exist. [2] The hypothesis is broadly discussed in popular sources.
