Journal Entry 2

Investigate other theories of the origin of the universe or suggest your own. 

My theory of the origin of the universe is that the universe will keep expanding greatly and that human kind will never know everything about space.

Some of the scientists theory are that the universe began to expand when the universe was the size of the pin then exploded. This theory is called the big bang theory. The big bang theory seeks to explain the sudden appearance of everything from nothing. Though this theory is well believed scientists believe that there are living species around the universe all though it is very complex.
