Hey
I'm 16 and currently studying my last year of physics in high school. I have to write an extended research task on a topic relating directly or indirectly to astrophysics. I have chosen to do the static universe theory vs the expanding universe theory. I've been researching as of late and have thought of a few major points to discuss. Basically throughout the essay I am to talk about both the theories, and show why and how the universe is expanding. Here are the topics I want to discuss:
-The static universe theory and the physics behind it
-Mentioning how einstein added a gravitational constant to all his equations, however this was wrong
-Translate into the importance of edwin Hubble and a few others who discovered the universe was expanding (the relationship between redshifts and distance)
-Talk about Hubbles law and the dopler effect
I would like to have at least one more topic to discuss. Is there something major that I'm missing in there. I'm only 16 so excuse my lack of knowledge regarding the subject. Any help would be much appreciated. I don't expect anyone to post up information for me to use, but if you could just list a topic I can research it on my own.
