Freshman Seminar Fall 17 CFB

Academic Post

I decided to attend an exhibition at the Museum of Natural History for my academic workshop. They had an exhibition about space explaining how the universe works and how it’s composed.

I decided to attend this workshop because space really fascinates me and I wanted to learn more about this interesting topic. In the exhibition, I saw a 30-minute film talking about the Big Bang Theory and how it has been proven to be true by scientists. Scientists discovered gravitational waves that were produced to be believed since the birth of the universe. Apparently, they’ve found waves of light that track back to nearly 13.6 Billion years ago. These waves spread out in an outward manner proving that there is a center to the universe but it can’t be located at one certain point because if you take any spot in the universe it seems as if that’s the center and everything is moving away from that point.

As well as learning about gravitational waves I learned about how big the universe is speculated to be which is infinite. After the workshop ended I was asking myself if I really wanted to major in the business field. I’ve always been fascinated by space and everything involving space such as planets, galaxies, stars, etc. I know I’m not the best with science but I have always been good when it comes to astronomy.

I had a really good time going to this exhibition and learning more about this interesting topic about space. I hope to be able to learn more about space and stay updated with what scientists keep discovering about it.
