Across
- 2. the antiparticle of the proton; a particle having the same mass as the proton but an equal and opposite charge.
- 5. the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature (equivalent in size to the degree Celsius), first introduced as the unit used in the Kelvin scale.
- 8. The 'critical density' is the average density of matter required for the Universe to just halt its expansion, but only after an infinite time.
- 10. of the same or a similar kind or nature
- 11. nonluminous material that is postulated to exist in space and that could take any of several forms including weakly interacting particles ( cold dark matter ) or high-energy randomly moving particles created soon after the Big Bang
- 13. is the speed of light; also, informal : an extremely fast rate or speed. How to use light speed in a sentence.
Down
- 1. a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.
- 2. molecules formed by atoms consisting of antiprotons, antineutrons, and positrons. Stable antimatter does not appear to exist in our universe.
- 3. having a physical property which has the same value when measured in different directions
- 4. When a body that is emitting radiation has a non-zero radial velocity relative to an observer, the wavelength of the emission will be shortened or lengthened, depending upon whether the body is moving towards or away from an observer.
- 6. An alternative term for the radiation era in the Big Bang theory, during which the Universe was hot and dense and was dominated by the effects of radiation.
- 7. An atom is the basic building block of chemistry.
- 9. 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.
- 12. In the Big Bang theory, the era that started when the gravitational effect of matter began to dominate the effect of radiation pressure. Although radiation is massless, it has a gravitational effect which increases with the intensity of the radiation.
