Hidalgo Pomales Delgado: Physic, Theories and God

In this article I am going to write about the physics and the universe. In addition to that, I will mention my own opinion about the theory of the Big Bang and the existence of God. In first place we need to know what are physics and the applications. Physics is the study of the laws of nature that applies many principles from other sciences such as biology, astronomy, chemistry and geology. The physics study the matter and energy while describing the behavior of each component of the universe. The physicists are often researchers who analyses nature and aspects related to nature. These scientists combine their creativity, attributes and problem solving capacity to successfully advance across the barriers of the universe. Furthermore, during this semester we have study many phenomenon in nature and understand the relationship between the universe and science.

On the other hand, I think that physic is great because is versatile, put the math to use, explains, teaches you to think and it can make things possible. I mention that physic is versatile due to the exploration of near and far mysteries of the universe. In terms of mathematics, it provides the tools for physicists to understand the world we live in. Furthermore, one important thing attribute about the physic is that it teaches the learner to think, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As part of this advantage, the physicists have created many objects that facilitate our daily lives. For me, that is the main reason why the physic is one of the most important sciences in our world. 

Now, there is an important theory about the creation of the universe. This theory is known as the Big Bang. This theory literally, is the time of nothingness emerge all matter, ie the origin of the universe. Matter, so far, is a point of infinite density, which at one point explodes generating the expansion of matter in all directions and creating what we know as our universe. On the other hand, let remember about the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Law of Conservation of Matter. The First Law of Thermodynamics establishes that energy can be neither created nor destroyed and the Law of Conservation of Matter establishes that matter can be neither created nor destroyed as the energy. These laws directly contradict the theory of Big Bang because there is no way that from the nothing emerges all matter, unless that a divine origin occurred. In a specific moment it was created by someone who was all-powerful. This is my opinion in terms of the origin of the universe and the unsupported Big Bang theory. 

If you take the Big Bang theory as a mathematic equation, you have:
                  0=0+0+0+⋯   Because something have been created from nothing
Now rewrite 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + … as:
                  0=(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+⋯
Take out the parenthesis:
    0=1-1+1-1+1-1+1…
Now regroup parenthesis again:
  0=1+(-1+1)+(-1+1)+(-1+1)+⋯
You have:
  0=1+0+0+0+⋯
Finally:
  0 = 1
This represents that from the nothing you cannot create something. It should be created by someone. I am not necessary proving the existence of God, but in my opinion there is no way that the universe was created from nothing.

Alex Agudo: Simply Just a Genius

He’s well known around the world. Famous Scientist and Physicist. At 30 years of age had already achieved most of all his important work. Winner of a Nobel Prize. His legacy work, is taught and used today. This and much more was accomplished by Dr. Albert Einstein. Who was a 20th Century Physicist, born in 1879 on Germany and died on New Jersey in 1955. So what is some of his work? Probably the two most know are the relativity or special relativity theory and the equivalence of matter and energy better known as E=MC2 equation. 

The papers containing these two ideas were ignored at first. Let’s take a look at what really are these ideas. So Einstein, presented the idea of relativity in 1905, however, he completed the Theory of relativity in 1915. But this wouldn’t have been possible without the attention of Max Planck. The theory predicted the perihelion of Mercury’s orbit, a prediction that Newton’s theory fell short of accomplishing; also predicted a measurable deflection of light around the sun when a planet or another sun orbited near the sun. So, a definition of the theory would be: (a) laws of physics are all the same for all non-accelerating observers, (b) the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels. With those definitions as a base, he conclude that space and time were interwoven into a single continuum, called space-time. In other words an event that occurs at the same time for an observer could occur at different times for another observer. 

Moving on to another important part of Einstein’s legacy, the equality of matter and energy idea paper “Does the Inertia of a body Depend upon Its Energy Content?” was presented also on 1905, and had the comments and experiment help of Planck, proving the theories. As matter of fact the resulting equation is derived from the relativity theory. So what does the equation means? It relates the equality of the kinetic energy (E) to the mass (M) as the speed of light is a constant so it never changes (C2). This shows us the possibility of changing mass into energy and energy to mass. This is tied to the nuclear energy, smashing particles and capturing the resultant energy, which proves one part of the equation. And the other part is perfectly demonstrated by the particle acceleration process, where low-mass particles zipping through a device collide to form large particles; this process can be achieved in facilities like the “Large Hadron Collider” at CERN. So Einstein is an indirect father to the nuclear bomb. He didn’t participate on the project but the whole idea and realization of the bomb was entirely based on E=MC2 equation. 

Einstein won the Physics Nobel Prize in 1921 for discovering the Law of photoelectric effect, which states that when a substance is bombarded by photons (light), electrons will be released by that substance, creating energy; this is why the solar cells can exist. He only won it for this law, because the relativity theory and the equality of matter ad energy where still unknown and not very understandable at that moment. Another curious fact of Einstein, is that he actually came up with these ideas wile working as a Patent Clerk, using his free time on working these ideas which subsequently will make him a well Known genius and probably one of the most capable and intelligent human being ever to exist, and as he said once: “Try not to become a man pf success, but rather try to become a man of value”, and he surely did became a man of value.
