Big Bang Theory
Across
- 2. a pair of equal and oppositely charged or magnetized poles separated by a distance.
- 6. the effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions, e.g. through the viewfinder and the lens of a camera.
- 7. the interaction of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields.
- 8. the displacement of spectral lines toward longer wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum) in radiation from distant galaxies and celestial objects.
- 10. the science of the origin and development of the universe. Modern astronomy is dominated by the Big Bang theory, which brings together observational astronomy and particle physics.
- 11. a variable star having a regular cycle of brightness with a frequency related to its luminosity, so allowing estimation of its distance from the earth.
- 13. a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy.
- 14. opening gap
- 15. the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.
- 16. the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature (equivalent in size to the degree Celsius), first introduced as the unit used in the Kelvin scale.
Down
- 1. the state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular.
- 3. a variable star having a regular cycle of brightness with a frequency related to its luminosity, so allowing estimation of its distance from the earth.
- 4. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
- 5. an instrument for measuring the intensity of light.
- 9. the action of inflating something or the condition of being inflated.
- 12. molecules formed by atoms consisting of antiprotons, antineutrons, and positrons. Stable antimatter does not appear to exist in our universe.
