    In his 1952 book The Creation of the Universe, Gamow explained Hans Bethe's association with the theory thus: [2] The αβγ paper with the figure referred to in the text. The results of these calculations were first announced in a letter to The Physical Review, April 1, 1948. This was signed Alpher, Bethe, and Gamow, and is often referred to ...

    The fraction of the total energy density of our (flat or almost flat) universe that is dark energy, , is estimated to be 0.669 ± 0.038 based on the 2018 Dark Energy Survey results using Type Ia supernovae [7] or 0.6847 ± 0.0073 based on the 2018 release of Planck satellite data, or more than 68.3% (2018 estimate) of the mass–energy density ...

    Problems 17, 7B and 8–40 are concerned with arithmetic and elementary algebra. Problems 1–6 compute divisions of a certain number of loaves of bread by 10 men and record the outcome in unit fractions. Problems 7–20 show how to multiply the expressions 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 7/4, and 1 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 2 by different fractions.

  5. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A ratio is often converted to a fraction when it is expressed as a ratio to the whole. In the above example, the ratio of yellow cars to all the cars on the lot is 4:12 or 1:3. We can convert these ratios to a fraction, and say that ⁠ 4 / 12 ⁠ of the cars or ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ of the cars in the lot are yellow.

    The site was founded in November 2013, and is a project of the Institute for Reproducible Research (a 501(c)3 U.S. non-profit corporation). [7] [8] The project is said to be similar to LOCKSS but with a focus on "offering researchers the opportunity to distribute the hosting of their papers and datasets to authors and readers, providing easy ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis

    Without major changes to the Big Bang theory itself, BBN will result in mass abundances of about 75% of hydrogen-1, about 25% helium-4, about 0.01% of deuterium and helium-3, trace amounts (on the order of 10 −10) of lithium, and negligible heavier elements. That the observed abundances in the universe are generally consistent with these ...

    [2]: 62, [3]: 61 The most commonly accepted solution among cosmologists is cosmic inflation, the idea that the universe went through a brief period of extremely rapid expansion in the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang; along with the monopole problem and the horizon problem, the flatness problem is one of the three primary ...

    where c 1 = ⁠ 1 / a 1 ⁠, c 2 = ⁠ a 1 / a 2 ⁠, c 3 = ⁠ a 2 / a 1 a 3 ⁠, and in general c n + 1 = ⁠ 1 / a n + 1 c n ⁠. Second, if none of the partial denominators b i are zero we can use a similar procedure to choose another sequence {d i} to make each partial denominator a 1:
