    Study Notes

    Cosmology

    • Cosmology is the branch of science that studies the origin, evolution, structure, and fate of the universe.
    • The most accepted theory for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory.

    Early Universe Eras

    • During the Planck Era, the universe was smaller than an atomic nucleus.
    • The era when the super force split into gravity and GUT (Grand Unified Theory) force is called the Grand Unified Theory Era.
    • During the Grand Unified Theory Era, the expansion of the universe was caused by the asymmetry between matter and antimatter.
    • The inflation of the universe began during the Inflationary Era.

    Earth Science

    • The atmosphere, which comprises the air we breathe, is composed of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and others.
    • The lithosphere comprises the solid layer of the Earth.
    • The hydrosphere comprises 70% of the Earth's surface, which is water.

    Biology

    • The biosphere pertains to life forms, which includes humans.

    Interconnectedness of Systems

    • The subsystems (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere) are interrelated and interconnected.

    Historical Figures in Astronomy

    • Aristarchus was the first to propose that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
    • Philolaus believed that the central fire was actually the Sun, and seconded Aristarchus' Heliocentric model.
    • Aristotle believed that the center of the cosmos is the Earth.
    • Claudius Ptolemy popularized the geocentric model, wherein celestial bodies revolved around the Earth (Ptolemaic model).

    Geology

    • Rocks are composed of minerals, which are naturally occurring substances that build up the Earth's crust.
    • Geologists use the physical properties of minerals to identify newly discovered minerals.
