Big Bang Theory

[3dknight]

I'm doing a project on the big bang theory, please if anyone knows any facts about the big bang theory post it on this thread.:)

[Nereid]

Try this link (http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/astronomy/bigbang.html) (both Björn and Ryan are BAUT members, though neither has posted here in a while).

Thanks this really helps. People are going to think this is about the new TV show.:lol:

[novaderrik]

you mean it's not about the new tv show?

[3dknight]

Yea I'm doing an assignment.

I've been out of the US for a long time, but have begun to wonder, do they still have public libraries? Back when I was a kid, we used to have big buildings full of rectangular shaped things we called "books." :) The great thing about them was that, unlike the Internet in many cases, there were people called "editors" who went through and made sure there weren't too many mistakes.

Quick mental survey... All the local libraries I knew of 20 years ago, are still there. Well, the big one downtown moved to a new, much larger, building.

The nearest one, maybe the other neighborhood libraries too, has changed to add lots of computers, and lots of foreign-language books, and much less lounging space.

Yup, there are still libraries. Alexandria back where your avatar's from even has a new one. I like the "library without walls", but no walls lets in a lot of pests.

As long as those pests have library cards...

[KaiYeves]

You don't need a library card to use the web, which is also called "The library without walls".

[Neverfly]

I didn't get that...

And now I feel dumb.:neutral:

It's from The Inside- Outside Book Of Libraries.

Yea I'm doing an assignment. If you have questions on any one of those lines of evidence found in the site Nereid gave you, I am sure you will find helpful response here.

The biggest bullet, though there are many, for BBT is the CMBR (Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation).

[3dknight]

Wait George did you write the BBT link that Nereid gave me?

[George]

Wait George did you write the BBT link that Nereid gave me? Not hardly, I am not a cosmologist. I've learned much here in BAUT, however.

I did start one thread in order to learn more about BBT that you might like: Big Bang Bullets (http://www.bautforum.com/astronomy/8241-big-bang-bullets.html). [I wonder if the that old OP needs updating? :doh:]

[tdigi]

What is this assignment like? I mean are you making a video or writing an article or making a presentation? I'll appreciate if you can give more details.

Thanks :)

[3dknight]

Its not an assignment its a project. I have to write 10 facts about the big bang theory, a picture, and a bibliography. Since I know you are probably wondering what grade im in it is 8th.

[tdigi]

Well ok, since you only have to write something short and simple, I am not going to complicate your research. Here are two sources:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
2. http://snipurl.com/1rl91

The second one is "must read".

And as you know..Google is your friend.

I am not going to list 10 facts for you. But I encourage you to research, read and compile the facts backed with legitimate sources.

After you are done, I would like to read your article :)

Congrats on surviving seventh. I'm not scared of anything any woo-woo might say to me, it can't be as bad as the insults I was called.

[3dknight]

I am finished with my project, it is on Dark Matter now. Well thanks for the help everyone.
