    The document discusses key concepts in astrophysics including the Big Bang theory of the universe's formation, the process of star formation through gravitational collapse and nuclear fusion, how the Earth formed from particles combining under gravity, that the universe is expanding, theories of general relativity including the effects of speed and gravity on time and the intertwining of space and time, as well as black holes, the Fermi paradox of where aliens are, and possibilities for the fate of the universe.

    ASTROPHYSICS

    By Lachie James

    THE BIG BANG

    FORMATION OF STARS
    Clouds of gas collapse under
    their own gravity
    Fusion takes place
    Ignites
    Small amounts of mass
    transformed into large amounts
    of energy

    FORMATION OF EARTH
    Small particles combined to
    make heavier particles
    Basically a big rock at this
    point
    Earths gravity recaptured
    hydrogen and helium

    THE UNIVERSE IS GROWING!

    THE SPEED OF LIGHT


    Speed of light in a vacuum
    is 299,792,458
    metres/second
    One light year is about 9.5
    quadrillion metres

    GENERAL RELATIVITY
    As you speed up, time slows
    down
    Space and time are
    interwoven

    BLACK HOLES

    FERMI PARADOX
    Where the aliens at?

    THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE
