__ The Big Bang Theory __ 1. About how long ago did the big bang take place? The big bang theory took place at about the beginning of the universe. How many years 2. What is a black hole? Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. 3. Does the universe continue to expand? It continues to expand and cool tell this day and we are still inside of it.

4. Was there really a big bang?

There was a big bang it expands and cools going from very hot to very small to the size and temperature of our universe. 5. What light elements seem to support the Big Bang Theory? Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. which two elements

__ Time Keeps On Slipping __ 1) What is the current calendar most of the world uses / accepts? Explain who made it and why this is accepted.

The ** Gregorian calendar **, also known as the **Western calendar**, or **Christian calendar**, is the internationally accepted civil calendar. It was introduced by Pope Gregory Xlll, after whom the calendar was named, by a decree signed on 24 February 1582, a papal bull known by its opening words //Inter gravissimas.// 2) What is a leap year?

A leap year is a month with one extra day in it. 3) List three other types of calendars used and how they set up their calendar (ex. Lunar).

Purely lunar calendar: Those which are based on the natural cycles of the Moon, which have months which attempt to stay as closely as possible in sync with the lunar phases, and whose years (composed of months) have no close relation with the solar cycle, for example, the Muslim Calendar . Purely Solar calendars: Those which are based on the cycle of the seasons, which results from the motion of the Earth around the Sun (and the fact that the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted significantly with respect to the Earth's plane of rotation about the Sun). These calendars have years which accord with the seasonal cycle and begin at or near a fixed point in that cycle (for example, the vernal equinox). Lunisolar calendar: These calendars aim to be both solar calendars and lunar calendars, but are more successful in tracking the seasonal cycle than the lunar cycle. Such a calendar consists of years which accord closely with the seasonal cycle and months which accord more-or-less closely with the lunar cycle. 4) What is BC?

The word BC stands for before Christ.

5) What is BCE?

B.C.E stands for before our common era it is often used instead of BC.

6) What is AD?

AD stands for after death.

7) What is CE?

CE stands for Common Era.

8) What is MYA?

MYA stands for millions of years ago.

9) According to the timeline site how many periods of when are there and list time.

There are 15 periods and they are all in different times.

10) What is an eon, epoch, era, and age?

Eon is the US English variant of the traditional aeon, which means "age" or "forever".  A geologic eon is the second-largest division of time in geology.  An era is a commonly used word for long period of time. When used in science, for example geology, eras denote clearly defined periods of time of arbitrary but well defined length  an epoch means an instant in time chosen as the origin of a particular era. The "epoch" then serves as a reference point from which time is measured. Time measurement units are counted from the epoch so that the date and time of events can be specified unambiguously.  The largest defined unit of time is the supereon, composed of eons. Eons are divided into eras, which are in turn divided into periods, epochs and ages. The terms eonothem, erathem, system, series, and stage are used to refer to the layers of rock that correspond to these periods of geologic time

11) List three ancient calendars?

Babylonian calendar, Egyptian calendar, and the Assyrians calendar.

12) List two ancient clocks and how they worked

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">The sun clock, the Sumerian culture was lost without passing on its knowledge, but the Egyptians were apparently the next to formally divide their day into parts something like our hours.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">Water clock were among the earliest timekeepers that didn’t depend on the observation of celestial bodies.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">13) What was a revolution of timekeeping?

In Europe when they just about ceased technology advancement because it was becoming too much too fast.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">14) What allows for standard more accurate clocks?

Our time age our world has evolved and so has our technology very much since back then.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">15) What are time zones?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">One of the 24 regions of division of the globe approximately coinciding with meridians at successive hours from the observatory at Greenwich, England.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">16) What is the prime meridian?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">The prime meridian is the vertical line that marks the zero degree longitude measurement on the globe of earth. The line intersects the latitude lines that are horizontal. Not every has been the same prime meridian measurement, but most measure the earth’s prime meridian as a line that passes through England, France, Spain, Togo, and down to Antarctica.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">17) If it’s 10:00 AM in Regina, what time is it in Toronto? London? Moscow? Tokyo? Hawaii?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">Toronto: 11:14am, London: 4:15pm, Moscow: 7:15pm, Tokyo: 12:15am and Hawaii: 5:17am.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">18) What is Daylight Saving Time? Do we use this in Saskatchewan?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">Daylight saving time was instituted in the states in world war one, and does not save energy it uses more of it.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">19) Is there a year zero?no

The year we are in right now is the beginning.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">20) Are we starting a new decade in 2010 or 2011?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">We start a new decade in 2011.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">21) What is linear time?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">Linear time is a major feature of our western cultural world-view, apparently initiated by Newton some 300 hundred years ago. It portrays time as an absolute physical reality, and says that the passage of time is independent of consciousness. So if does matter what you think, feel or do, or how you look at time, time does change as a result.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">22) What is cyclical time?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">Cyclical time playing with time. Jumping from different times. There is no beginning, middle, or end.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in;">18/22 good job
