The Big Bang Theory
The first theoretical evidence for the Big Bang came from Alexander Friedmann in 1922, when he showed that Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicted that the universe was either expanding or contracting. Einstein was so upset with this result that he introduced a cosmological constant into his theory which would make the universe static. Later he said that this was his biggest bl...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Humor in The Big Bang Theory from Pragmatic Perspectives
The cooperative principle proposes four maxims in communication. When any of the four maxims is violated or flouted, misunderstanding or implicature, and thus humor might be generated. Humor can also be studied pragmatically within the framework of the relevance theory, which proposes that communication is a process of ostension and inference and differentiates the maximal relevance and optimal...
متن کاملInitial Conditions in Pre-big Bang
This note is a summary of the work reported in hep-th/9801073. We give a brief discussion of the fine tuning problem in pre-big bang cosmology. We use the flatness problem as our test case, and in addition to the exact numerical limits on initial conditions, we highlight the differences between pre-big bang and standard inflation. The main difference is that in pre-big bang the universe must be...
متن کاملThe "big bang" theory and Down syndrome.
I am convinced that some of the most joyful, life-changing conventions in our field are those that focus on families with children having Down syndrome. Whole families come. Some appear with babes in arms. Clinicians named Pueschel, Crocker, Kumin, Falvey, Rosenberg and many others hold impromptu clinics in halls, lobbies, and special session rooms. It all goes so well because these parents hun...
متن کاملNeutrinos from the Big Bang
The standard Big Bang cosmology predicts the existence of an, as yet undetected, relic neutrino background, similar to the photons observed in the cosmic microwave background. If neutrinos have mass, then such relic neutrinos are a natural candidate for the dark matter of the universe, and indeed were the first particles to be proposed for this role. This possibility has however been increasing...
