Study Notes
The Big Bang Theory
- The initial state of the universe was extremely hot and dense, with all matter and energy condensed into a single point.
Energy Conversion
- According to Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, energy can turn into mass, and vice versa.
Subdivisions of Matter
- The most minor subdivision of matter mentioned is the atomic level.
The Big Bang Expansion
- The Big Bang thrust outward, leading to rapid inflation and expansion of the universe, with matter and energy spreading out from the initial point.
Formation of First Atoms
- The cooling of the universe sets the stage for the formation of the first hydrogen and helium atoms.
