The idea was originally proposed by Georges Lemaître, who suggested the concept of a 'primeval atom’ (L'Hypothèse de l'Atome Primitif) 1946, leading up to the theory of the Big Bang. [1] He illustrated the idea by imagining an object 30 times larger than the volume of the sun containing all the matter of the Universe.
In this book Krauss discusses creating parts of an oxygen atom, the primary atoms of the Big Bang.Then he follows it through the remaining history of the Universe.As time has been passing by, the atom was a part of a supernova and star dust, star and planet systems, and, ultimately, a part of living cells.
[6] [7] [8] The current version of The Scale of the Universe 2 uses Pixi.js instead of Flash, ported by Matthew Martori. [6] The Scale of the Universe was featured on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day on October 7, 2018. [9] In 2020, animation studio Kurzgesagt released the app Universe in a Nutshell, which took inspiration from The Scale of ...
The Big Bang explains the evolution of the universe from a starting density and temperature that is well beyond humanity's capability to replicate, so extrapolations to the most extreme conditions and earliest times are necessarily more speculative. Lemaître called this initial state the "primeval atom" while Gamow called the material "ylem ...
At the other end of the scale there is much new knowledge, both observational and theoretical, on the expansion of the universe and cosmic radiation. In the intermediate parts of the scale, in addition to a large mass of new observational material, we find new spectroscopic methods for investigating the constitution and rotations of the stars ...
The Universe in a Single Atom is a book by Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama and published in 2005 by Morgan Road Books. [1] In this book Dalai Lama engages in several scientific areas. He explores the topics of quantum physics , cosmology , consciousness and genetics in relation to Buddhism .
Atomism (from Greek ἄτομον, atomon, i.e. "uncuttable, indivisible") [1] [2] [3] is a natural philosophy proposing that the physical universe is composed of fundamental indivisible components known as atoms.
In it, Asimov presents the atom and subatomic particles in a historical context, beginning with Democritus's original thought experiments and theory of atomism, and ending with then-current knowledge of the fundamental particles.
