  2. Dirac large numbers hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_large_numbers_hypothesis

    where t is the age of the universe, is the speed of light and r e is the classical electron radius. Hence, in units where c = 1 and r e = 1, the age of the universe is about 10 40 units of time. This is the same order of magnitude as the ratio of the electrical to the gravitational forces between a proton and an electron:

  3. Horizon problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_problem

    According to the inflationary model, the universe increased in size by a factor of more than 10 22, from a small and causally connected region in near equilibrium. [5] Inflation then expanded the universe rapidly, isolating nearby regions of spacetime by growing them beyond the limits of causal contact, effectively "locking in" the uniformity ...

  4. Continuum (measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(measurement)

    In social sciences in general, psychology and psychiatry included, data about differences between individuals, like any data, can be collected and measured using different levels of measurement. Those levels include dichotomous (a person either has a personality trait or not) and non-dichotomous approaches.

  5. Universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe

    This metric has only two undetermined parameters. An overall dimensionless length scale factor R describes the size scale of the universe as a function of time (an increase in R is the expansion of the universe), [152] and a curvature index k describes the geometry.

  6. Big Bounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce

    The theory explains that the universe will expand until all matter decays and ultimately turns to light. Since nothing in the universe would have any time or distance scale associated with it, the universe becomes identical with the Big Bang, resulting in a type of Big Crunch that becomes the next Big Bang, thus perpetuating the next cycle. [21]

    The findings announced on Tuesday are part of a years-long study of the history of the cosmos focusing upon dark energy, an invisible and enigmatic force that is accelerating the ongoing expansion ...

  8. Cosmological horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_horizon

    A cosmological horizon is a measure of the distance from which one could possibly retrieve information. [1] This observable constraint is due to various properties of general relativity, the expanding universe, and the physics of Big Bang cosmology.

    [6] [7] [8] The current version of The Scale of the Universe 2 uses Pixi.js instead of Flash, ported by Matthew Martori. [6] The Scale of the Universe was featured on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day on October 7, 2018. [9] In 2020, animation studio Kurzgesagt released the app Universe in a Nutshell, which took inspiration from The Scale of ...
