2. This equation indicates that energy and
mass are simply different forms of the
same entity; mass could be created from
energy and energy could be created by
mass.
3. Outline how accretion of galaxies and stars
occurred thorugh:
a. Expansion + cooling of Universe
b. Subsequent loss of particle kinetic
energy.
c. Gravitational attraction between
particles.
d. Lumpiness of the gas cloud that then
allows gravitational collapse.
1. Big Bang created anti-matter and matter
annihilations, producing energy.
2. Created a lumpy Universe, pockets of
unevenly distributed matter (gas clouds) with
enormous empty spaces where it occurred.
3. Protogalaxies individual matter clouds had
some parts denser than others. Denser parts
exerted greater gravitational attraction on
less dense, accumulating into a rotating cloud.
4. Growing clumps formed within larger matter
cloud. Speed of rotation increased, causing
flattening of cloud and formation of disc
perpendicular to axis of spin.
5. Total stars: 10^22 stars (we only see 5000)
