  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. Inflation Theory • The Inflation Theory proposes a period of extremely rapid (exponential) expansion of the universe during its first few moments. abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast123/lectures/lec23.html

  5. 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

  7. 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

  8. MAXIMA: Observations of CMB anisotropyby Rabii, Bahman, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 2002 • Millimeter Anisotropy eXperimentIMaging Array (MAXIMA) • Measures the temperature anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) www.scidacreview.org/0704/html/cmb.html

  9. Gravitino Dark Matter, Neutrino Masses and Lepton Flavor Violation from broken R-parity: S. Lola • Gravitinodark matter and slow gravitino decays in supersymmetrictheories with broken R-parity.

  10. The cosmic microwave background radiation in a non-expanding universe: Wilfred H. Sorrell • Outlines a model for an aether medium that explains the genesis of the microwave background radiation in a closed static (nonexpanding) universe.

  11. Splotch: visualizing cosmological simulations:K Dolag • Splotch • Software tool which supports the effective visualization of cosmological • Simulations data
