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).
- Albert Einstein proposed that the universe was a finite and static closed four-dimensional sphere, where matter spread smoothly throughout space.
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.
