Assignment: The Expanding Universe Model Questions
1. (a.) Generally what happens to the distances between your home galaxy (dot #0) and the other galaxies (dots #1 through #10) as your universe (balloon) expands? (b.) What does this tell you about your model universe?
2. Do any of the galaxies appear to be closer to each other as your universe expands? What does this say about the possibility of galaxies colliding with each other?
3. What galaxies moved the most from your home galaxy after expanding the universe (blowing up the balloon)? What galaxies moved the least from your home galaxy?
4. Hypothesis how far away the closest galaxy would be from your home galaxy if you could double the size of the universe (balloon) again. Explain your hypothesis.
5. Hypothesis how far away the farthest galaxy would be from your home galaxy if you could double the size of the universe (balloon) again. Explain your hypothesis.
6. If you were to totally inflate the balloon - and you may do so, if you wish - where would all of the galaxies be located in your model universe?
