Big Bang Theory (Douglas's Puzzle)
Across
- 4. SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature
- 5. the interaction of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields
- 7. the average density of matter required for the Universe to just halt its expansion, but only after an infinite time
- 9. a system of millions or billions of stars, together with gas and dust, held together by gravitational attraction
- 11. a period of extremely rapid expansion of the universe during its first few moments
- 12. a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year
- 14. a form of matter hypothesized to account for 80-85% of the universe's mass
Down
- 1. the science of the origin and development of the universe
- 2. gravity, the strong force, the weak force and the electromagnetic force
- 3. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object
- 6. An alternative term for the radiation era in the Big Bang theory
- 7. A star that fluctuates in brightness and provides astronomers with a reference they can use to measure great distances in the Universe
- 8. light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding
- 10. a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape.
- 13. began right after the Radiation Era around 3000 years after the big bang began
