Unit 2

#1 Yes, because it could of been a goldilocks condition where everything was perfect.
#2  I think key turning points of the Big Bang was when Earth got life and then humanity rose from that. Dinosaurs and fossils from a long long time ago supports what I have learned. I believe that you need evidence that it is possible for certain chemicals to have a massive explosion and create random objects.
#3  No, I do not think the CMB is convincing evidence for the Big Bang. Theories like the Big Bang needs enough facts and support from scientist for it to be largely accepted.

          Parallax is an amazing thing that us humans have invented and have figured out how to use. A nearby star's apparent movement against the background of more distant stars as the Earth revolves around the Sun is referred to as stellar parallax. This discovery and use of knowledge allows us to find the distances to the moon and stars.

Ptolemy-Earth as center of univers
Copernicus-Sun is at center of universe
Kepler-planets circle in ovals
They are different because they all believe that something is different for the center of the universe and the Kepler view has to do with how the planets move.

These views were sensible  at this time because they didn't have technology and it made sense to them.

The changing technology supported each view

We decide what we believe in from our parents, our friends, and what facts we know.
1. I decide which claims  I trust in, which ones to ignore, and which ones to investigate from what other people believe in and what I'm interested in
2. Intuition-gut feeling
    Authority-accept from credible
     Logic-make sense?
     Evidence-gather evidence
