Visualizing Cosmological Concepts Using the Analog of a Hot Liquid
Yusofi, E.; Mohsenzadeh, M.
Astronomy Education Review, v9 n1 2010
We have used the expansion process of hot milk, which has similarities with the cosmic expansion, to facilitate easier and better visualization and teaching of cosmological concepts. Observations of milk are used to illustrate phenomena related to the Planck era, the standard hot big bang model, cosmic inflation, problems with the formation of structure, and other subjects. This innovative and easily implemented demonstration can enhance the learning of cosmological concepts. (Contains 5 figures.)
