Question
Chapter 44, Problem 44.2DQ
To determine
Whether it is possible to create particle-antiparticle pairs that exist for extremely short period of time before annihilating and does it mean that empty space is really empty.

Edwin Hubble observed that the light from very distant galaxies was redshifted and that the farther away a galaxy was, the greater its redshift. What does this say about very distant galaxies?
When Hubble first estimated the Hubble constant, galaxy distances were still very uncertain, and he got a value for H of about 600 km/s per Mpc. What would this have implied about the age of the universe?
What problems would this have presented for cosmologists?
Is it possible that some parts of the universe contain antimatter whose atoms have nuclei made of antiprotons and antineutrons, surrounded by positrons? How could we detect this condition without actually going there? Can we detect these antiatoms by identifying the light they emit as composed of antiphotons? Explain. What problems might arise if we actually did go there?
The decay of one type of K-meson is cited as evidence that nature favors matter over antimatter. Since mesons are composed of a quark and an antiquark, is it surprising that they would preferentially decay to one type over another? Is this an asymmetry in nature? Is the predominance of matter over antimatter an asymmetry?

- This a question on Cosmology: Suppose that you have a flat universe that has matter and dark energy with wd = -2/3 & Ωd,0 =0.7 At the time when light with z = 1 was emitted from a distant galaxy what was the ratio Ɛd /Ɛm ?arrow_forwardCan someone please explain it to me ASAP??!!!arrow_forwardThe expanding universe is carrying distant objects away from each other at a rate proportional to their separations. We use the Doppler effect observed in spectra of distant galaxies and quasars to calculate recession speeds. For the most distant objects recession speeds approach c, and therefore, the relativistic Doppler shift expression must be used. We define the redshift, z, as the fractional change in wavelength. a) The most distant quasar currently known is ULAS J1120+0641, discovered with the UK Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea. It has a redshift of 7.1. Calculate its radial velocity in terms of v/c. b) Determine the distance to this quasar. c) At what wavelength would the Ha line (656.28 nm) be observed for this quasar?arrow_forward
