Study Notes
The Big Bang Theory and Universe Expansion
- The leading explanation for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory, which proposes that the universe began from a singular point and has been expanding ever since.
- Astronomers observe the 'echo' of the Big Bang's expansion through cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), which is the afterglow of the initial explosion.
- According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe has been expanding for approximately 13.8 billion years, providing a time frame for its evolution.
Understanding of the Big Bang
- Much of our knowledge regarding the Big Bang comes from observations of the CMB, as well as the distribution of galaxies and the movement of celestial objects in the universe.
Alternative Explanations
- Some alternative theories to the Big Bang Theory include the steady state theory, which suggests the universe is eternally expanding without a beginning, and the cyclic model, which posits that the universe undergoes infinite cycles of expansion and contraction.
Poverty Cycle
- The poverty cycle results from a combination of structural and individual factors, perpetuating socio-economic struggles across generations.
- Families trapped in the poverty cycle often have limited resources, including inadequate access to education, healthcare, and stable employment opportunities.
Terminology in Developing Countries
- In developing countries, the poverty cycle is often referred to as the "poverty trap," emphasizing systemic barriers that hinder upward mobility and economic progress.
