Post-viewing
1. What is the Earth compared to Is the comparison useful in understanding the infiniteness of the universe
The size of the Earth within the observable universe is roughly equivalent to the size of a virus within the solar system. That does not help much, because we cannot really appreciate the incomprehensible smallness of a virus nor the bewildering bigness of our solar system either.
Activity 1: Discussion
2. What methods does the presenter use to enable viewers to understand this piece of know edge in physics
The presenter provides comparisons that are relative to our knowledge.
You and other three students are asking a professor who is giving a lecture some questions about universe. The following sentence structure will help you.
How old is the universe
How big is the universe
Is it becoming bigger or small
Is the Earth the center of the universe
Where is the edge of the universe
Activity 2: Speaking
