Some people think the origin of our universe is an enigma; some scientists believe it started with an explosion called the Big Bang; many people believe it is an act of creation by God. Is the occurrence of the Big Bang consistent with the laws of nature? If nature is incapable of changing its laws, why has nature been worshipped by some cultures?
Origin of mathematics
Since some aspects of nature can be expressed in mathematical equations, mathematics and the laws of nature must have appeared simultaneously. Did they exist before the Big Bang? Many believe that mathematics was discovered, not invented. However, the question, how did mathematics originate? Doesn’t seem to interest many. Even though we may not know the answer now, is no reason for not trying to find it. imagine Isaac Newton not interested in discovering gravity.
Origin of planets and the elements of nature
In the Sun, at a temperature of fifteen million degrees, Hydrogen, the fuel, is transformed into Helium, the ash. From this.
I conclude, it is impossible for elements to come into existence by evolution from a single element. Elements and planets must have appeared together. Can an atom be the result of an explosion? Surely, the laws must have preceded it;
otherwise, the explosion could not have taken place.
There are no contradictions in math or in the laws of nature
Two solutions to a mathematical problem cannot produce contradicting results.
The path of a projectile can be predicted; it is governed by laws.
Is the occurrence of the Big Bang consistent with the laws of nature?
1. Newton’s laws of motion
The state of motion of object A can only change if another object B exerts a force on it. If object A is the source of the Big Bang, what is object B and where is it? What happened to object B?
Walking is simple once you know how, but the physics behind it is not.
When you walk, you are being pushed forward!
Imagine you are floating in space and neither gravity nor any other external force acts on you.
Q1 By punching your chest with your fist, you can set yourself in motion. T/F Q2 As you throw away a shoe, your body starts moving in the opposite direction. T/F Q3 While walking, at least one foot is not moving. T/F
Answer Q1 F the force on your chest is opposite to the force of the chest on the fist. There is no external force Q2 you throw the shoe by exerting a force on it; the shoe exerts an equal force on your hand, but opposite in direction. An external force is acting on you and an external force on the shoe Q3 T, the foot touching the ground
2. Events in nature make it less organized. Events produce some degree of disorder. However, you might argue, when a pendulum swings, the event repeats itself. As the pendulum swings, it drags air creating turbulence, which is
irreversible. Some of the energy lost in a natural event cannot be recovered. Entropy states that natural events make our universe less orderly. However, the Big Bang brought order, and this contradicts the Law of Entropy. For example, as a result of the Big Bang planets, with different characteristics, were placed in precise elliptical orbits.
Is the Big Bang the result of an uncontrolled explosion? If the Big Bang did occur, perhaps object B played an important role.
3. Cause and Effect is a guiding principle in science. Don’t we also apply this principle in our everyday life? There is a reason, a cause, why things, the effect, happen. What is the cause of the Big Bang? Perhaps it is body B. According to Newton’s first law, body B activated the Big Bang.
There are many unanswered questions. Some of which I will mention later. Shouldn’t scientists and science teachers be honest with themselves and admit some of these contradictions?
How did space come into existence?
Has space always existed? Some may argue that space has always been there, and others that it is expanding and that it had a beginning. When my wife was taking graduate courses in art at Florida State University, one of her professors, Dr.
Ralph Hurst, engaged her on a discussion about perspective. There has been no explanation how perspective appeared in nature. Yet it is present in every direction you look, whether indoor or outdoor. He trained her to be an art critic. There are many questions, but few answers.
If space suddenly came into existence, what existed before? We need to keep asking questions.
Humans also resist change
Sometimes it takes persuasion, scalding or punishment to change our behavior. A marriage may break up if the couple are unwilling to make changes and adjust to new circumstances. Should we not prepare for marriage? Marriage requires adjustments.
Why did it take so long to discover the law of inertia?
If it took so long to discover this “obvious law”, isn’t the discovery of the origin of the universe of life more challenging?
A lesson from a rainbow
A rainbow is made from colorless sunlight. However, we can see because we cannot see light. Only a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by the eye. When did the electromagnetic spectrum appear? How did the electromagnetic spectrum acquire its properties?
Besides the planets, were the elements also formed in the Big Bang?
Where did the energy stored in the nucleus of atoms come from? If atoms were formed in the Big Bang, it implies that an implosion and an explosion occurred in the same event! Can energy be released and stored at the same time? . Brain Twister – origin of the Big Bang theory
In the 1920s a Belgium priest and physics teacher, Georges Lemaître, was the first to suggest the Big Bang theory.
According to him, the universe began from a single atom. Obviously, this priest did not believe in the account of creation given in the book of Genesis in the Bible.
Instead of focusing attention only on the macrocosm, why doesn’t the Big Bang also try to discover how atoms came into existence? How was energy stored in the nucleus?
If we have not been able to explain how the laws of nature came into existence and mathematics originated, should we not be more cautious about how the universe came into existence?
Can an explosion and an implosion occur simultaneously?
Recently, a young American scientist questioned the origin of this single atom.
Brain Twister
1. 0 = 5(0), => 0/0 = 5. 0 = 3(0), => 0/0 = 3. 0/0 can be any number. T/F 2. y = mx is a straight line passing through (0, 0).
The line y = mx passing through (1, 4) has slope m = 4/1.
The line y = mx passing through (0, 0) has slope m = 0/0.
Why can’t we find the slope using (0, 0)?
Theories ‒ geocentric ‒ heliocentric ‒ Big Bang
In 1543 Nicolas Copernicus a Catholic monk, mathematician, and astronomer published a book explaining the heliocentric or sun-centered model. This model challenged the universally accepted geocentric or earth-centered model. Copernicus died shortly after the book was published.
Galileo, 1564 – 1642, an Italian astronomer and physicist, published in 1632 a book stating that the heliocentric theory of Copernicus was correct.
The Roman Catholic Church believed in the geocentric model, though there is no passage in the Bible to support it.
Because Galileo defended the heliocentric model, the Roman Catholic Church condemned him to prison for “heresy.” Yet, when in the 1920s Georges Lemaître, a Belgium priest and physics teacher proposed the Big Bang theory, which is contrary to the account of creation given in the Bible, the church did not challenge him. Was the Roman Catholic Church wrong again?
Humor
A young kid told his mom, I will behave if you give me five dollars. The mother replied, why can’t you be good for nothing like your dad? Mom, do you really mean that? Of course, I do. Ask your dad. That evening the young kid told his dad what mom had said. Dear, could you explain what is going on? When I ask you to do something for me, do you charge me? Of course not, dear. So, you are good for nothing!
Air, water, and light are colorless
If we could see air, we would not be able to see other objects. It is difficult to see in foggy weather. Imagine not being able to see the bottom of a pool or the fishes in an aquarium because water is not colorless? Could we appreciate nature or become aware of our environment if light were visible? A red tomato absorbs all the colors in the spectrum of light except red, that is why tomato is red.
Galileo and common sense
Q1 An object in motion cannot on its own come to a stop. F/T Answer T Why doesn’t the rotation of the earth come to a stop?
Q2 If you are standing in a bus which suddenly puts on the brakes, why does your body continue moving forward?
Answer Your body moves forward with the speed the bus had previously. That is why seat belts are used.
Q3 When the bus speeds, why does your body move backwards?

Answer T It looks that way, but it is not true. By pulling a trained horse with a rope, you can keep the horse going around in a circle. However, if you try it with an elephant, most likely you will end up going in circles around the elephant.
