The two correct answers are:
1) Through dark energy, the universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate.
2) Because of dark matter, gravitational interactions cause galaxies to develop.
The two correct answers that correctly relate dark matter and dark energy to the Big Bang theory are:
1. Through dark energy, the universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate.
4. Because of dark matter, gravitational interactions cause galaxies to develop.
The two correct answers are:
1. Through dark energy, the universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate.
To understand this connection, it is important to know that the Big Bang theory states that the universe originated from a singularity and has been expanding ever since. Dark energy is a theoretical form of energy that is believed to exist in order to explain the observed accelerated expansion of the universe. It is thought to make up about 70% of the total energy in the universe. Therefore, one correct answer is that dark energy is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe.
2. Because of dark matter, gravitational interactions cause galaxies to develop.
Dark matter is another theoretical component of the universe that is not directly observable but is inferred from its gravitational effects. It is believed to make up about 25% of the total mass-energy of the universe. Dark matter's gravitational pull plays a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. It helps to explain how structures like galaxies can form and develop under the influence of gravity. Therefore, the second correct answer is that dark matter is responsible for the development of galaxies through gravitational interactions.
To determine the correct answers, we need to understand the definitions and concepts of dark matter and dark energy, as well as their connection to the Big Bang theory. By analyzing these concepts, we can identify the answers that accurately relate dark matter and dark energy to the Big Bang theory.
