General Science Information

Unprecedented discoveries of our time have revealed many aspects about the universe and its development since the beginning of time. Here is a list of some of the basic principles, methods, and theories that shape our understanding of the cosmos.

Fundamental Laws of Physics

First Law of Thermodynamics: Conservation of energy. (Energy cannot be created nor destroyed)
Second Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy always increases. (Usefulness of energy always diminishes)

Cosmology

Distance Ladder: The various methods used to determine celestial distances.
Special Relativity: Einstein's theory that describes the nature of light and its constancy, regardless of the reference frame of the observer. This simple notion, has some bizarre consequences, with profound impact on the material universe.
General Relativity: Einstein's theory of relativity is expanded to include the nature of gravity, described as the bending of space-time in the presence of energy or gravitational fields.
Big Bang Cosmology: An overview of various stages of the big bang.
Big Bang Rationale: Theoretical basis for the big bang and physical confirmation of the theory. (CS Davis' Science Blog)
