Considering the reactions in primordial nucleosynthesis only, what would be the impact on the universe today if the neutron lifetime were much smaller than 886s (the actual value of the neutron lifetime)? Select one: O a. Annihilations mean that the universe is left composed entirely of photons and neutrinos O b. There would be no difference to the actual universe c. Only hydrogen atoms would be present today O d. There would be very small amounts of He in the universe today

Hubble's First Attempt. Edwin Hubble's first attempt to measure the universe's expansion rate was flawed because the standard candles he was using were not properly calibrated. Look at (Figure 1) a.Estimate the value of Ho corresponding to the solid line in the figure. Express your answer kilometers per second per million light-years to two significant figures. b.What is the approximate age of the universe indicated by that erroneous value of Ho? Express your answer in years to one significant figure.
What is the CMB? Group of answer choices A dense region of 4.5 million stars. A large star of 4.5 million solar masses. The cosmic microwave background of photons left over and cooled down from when the universe became transparent 300,000 years after the Big Bang. The space curvature of the universe
The Milky Way grew through merging with many smaller galaxies. What are the observational signatures of this process? O The motion of old stars in the bulge and halo of our galaxy are randomly orientated, meaning they were formed from collisions of small, accreted, galaxies all on different paths. O The ordered motion of the bulge / halo stars means that they came from many objects. The random motions of stars in the disk means it was formed from collisions of small, accreted, galaxies. O The motion of young stars in the disk are all in the same direction, meaning they came in as seperate objects.
What is redshift? I’ve heard redshift is kind of like how u measure objects in space but I’m still confused on the topic. Anyone understand? Pls help.
