Structure and Evolution of the Universe Workshop

2nd Century: Claudius Ptolemy (physics of Aristotle) View: Geostatic cosmology Big Idea: Different laws for Earth and the cosmos We can describe a model as a Paradigm, or our “World View” Astronomy has seen 3 major paradigms. 16th Century: Nicolaus Copernicus (physics of Newton) View: Heliocentric cosmology Big Idea: Universal physics; same laws everywhere 20th Century: Edwin Hubble (physics of Einstein) View: Big Bang Cosmology Big Idea: universe is changing, evolving

Model Observation Success! Prediction Failure! Refine How to use your model of the Universe:

Model Observation Success! Prediction Failure! Crisis! How to use your model of the Universe:

“The heavens are perfect and unchanging in Time.” Aristotle Claudius Ptolemy AD Geostatic cosmology

Prediction: Future planetary positions Observation: retrograde motion of planets Refine: epicycles Success! For 1500 years

Prediction: Phases of Venus Observation: Full set of phases (Galileo) Crisis!

Nicolaus Copernicus Heliocentric cosmology

Prediction: Future planetary positions Observation: No better than Ptolemy Refine: elliptical orbits (Johannes Kepler )

Prediction: Observed shift in position of stars (parallax) as the earth Moves around the Sun. Observation: No shift. Crisis? No, but we had to wait until 1838 (Friedrich Bessel)

Prediction: Sun at center of Cosmos Observation: Sun is not at center of universe (1918) The galaxy is not the entire universe (1923) The universe is expanding (1929) Crisis!

Albert Einstein ( ) Big Bang Cosmology

Prediction: If denser, hotter, in past, should see evidence of left-over heat from early universe. Observation: Left-over heat from the early universe.

Prediction: A dense, hot expanding universe, should be predominantly hydrogen, helium. The Sun: 74.5% H, 24% He by mass Cecelia Payne Observation: universe is ~75% hydrogen, ~25% helium by mass

Prediction: An expanding universe is evolving over time. If we look at the early universe, it should appear different. Observation: Distant galaxies less evolved, physically and chemically.

Observation: 90% of matter is an unknown form: Dark Matter. Refine: A new and unknown form of matter exists. But its gravity works the same way, and its presence is needed to explain how the universe looks.

Observation: Expansion is accelerating. Refine: Extra energy content (dark energy). A recent discovery and of unknown origin,the concept of dark energy is actually an integral part of Einstein’s theory of gravity.

Conclusions Big Bang model is our current paradigm or “world view” of the universe. Anomalies, such as dark matter and accelerating expansion (dark energy), lead us to refine our model, but there is no crisis (yet). Science is an ongoing process - forcing us to test our model through prediction and observation. The more tests it passes, the greater is our confidence in it.
