2. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
a branch of natural science
that studies non-living
systems, in contrast to life
science.
involves three sciences:
Astronomy, Chemistry,
and Physics.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE
3. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
Astronomy: celestial bodies
and the universe as a whole
Chemistry: composition,
structure, properties, and
reactions of matter
Physics: matter, energy, and
the fundamental forces of nature
PHYSICAL SCIENCE
5. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
a branch of astronomy
study on the origin and
evolution of the universe
COSMOLOGY
6. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
THREE COSMIC STAGES
light elements Hydrogen (H), Helium (He) and
Lithium (Li) were formed
01 BIG BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS
heavier elements Beryllium (Be) to Iron (Fe) were
formed
02 STELLAR FORMATION AND EVOLUTION
elements heavier than Iron (Fe) were formed
03 STELLAR EXPLOSION OR SUPERNOVA
7. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
The Big Bang Theory is an
effort to explain what
happened at the very
beginning of our universe.
Our universe sprang into
existence as “singularity”
around 13.7 billion years
ago.

STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
01 SINGULARITY
A point in space and/or a moment in time
where the universe was infinitely hot and
dense, approximately 1 cm in diameter.
02 INFLATION
The stage wherein it theorized an
exponential expansion of space in the early
universe which lasted from 𝟏𝟎−𝟑𝟔
second.

STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
03 ANNIHILATION
A reaction in which a particle and its
antiparticle collide and disappear, releasing
energy.
11. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
04 NUCLEOSYNTHESIS
It refers to the process that creates new
atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons,
primary protons and neutrons. As the
universe cools (low temperature), protons
and neutrons can fuse (combine) to form
heavier atomic nuclei.

STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
05 RECOMBINATION
An epoch (event) at which charged
electrons and protons first became bound
to form electrically neutral hydrogen atoms.

STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
06 CONTINUOUSLY EXPANDING
Gravity caused these atoms to collapse onto
one another to form stars and galaxies and
other matter.
15. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
STELLAR FORMATION AND EVOLUTION
Cloud of hydrogen and helium gases
condensed to form stars, including the sun.
Then stars became hotter and denser and
nuclear reactions continued to produce
heavier elements than lithium (Li).
16. PHYSICAL SCIENCE : ELEMENTS, ATOMS, AND THEIR HISTORY
STAGES OF THE BIG BANG
STELLAR EXPLOSION OR SUPERNOVA
As giant stars exhausted the nuclear fuel of
light elements, its core started to collapse
that eventually led to the explosion of stars
(supernova) producing neutron capture and
radioactive decay.

EVIDENCES OF THE BIG BANG
REDSHIFT
A redshift is a displacement (shift) of
spectral lines toward longer wavelengths
(the red end of the spectrum) in radiation
from distant galaxies and celestial objects.
They shift as they are moving away from an
observer on Earth.

COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND
CMB is an electromagnetic radiation left
over from an early stage of the universe on
Big Bang cosmology.
There is no space around the singularity.
Space itself expanded faster than a speed of light.
In this still hot and dense mass of the universe, pairs of matter and antimatter (quarks and antiquarks were formed from energy, but these cancelled each other back into energy (annihilation)
With more massive stars burning through their fuel more quickly.In the core of a red giant or supergiant, helium fusion begins. Helium atoms fuse to form heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen.
