  1. Sub-Orbital Observations for Big Bang Cosmology AJ Scaramucci

  2. Big Bang • The Big Bang Model is a broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe. http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_astro/guides/bubble_anim.gif

  3. Foundation for the Big Bang Model • The first key idea dates to 1916 when Einstein developed his General Theory of Relativity which he proposed as a new theory of gravity. http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/bb_theory.html

  4. Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) • The existence of the CMB radiation was first predicted by George Gamow in 1948, and by Ralph Alpher and Robert Herman in 1950. http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/media/ContentMedia/990045b.jpg

  5. Inflation Theory • The Inflation Theory proposes a period of extremely rapid (exponential) expansion of the universe during its first few moments.

  6. Inflation Theory • While the Big Bang theory successfully explains the "blackbody spectrum" of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the origin of the light elements, it has three significant problems: • Flatness Problem • Horizon Problem • Monopole Problem http://www.mactonnies.com/galacticspiral.jpg
