26. Read the selection carefully. Then answer the questions that follow.
Astronomers who believe that the universe was once a vast tight mass of hydrogen claim that all substances in the universe were created during the first half hour after the heated mass of hydrogen exploded, forming our present universe. Scientist have studied that ashes where an atom bomb or hydrogen bomb has been exploded. They have seen what happens when substances are heated to a high temperature in laboratories. From these studies they now know how great explosion of the universe could turn hydrogen into helium, iron, uranium, and all other substances found on earth and in the stars. The explosion theory is supported by the fact that substances which the process indicates should be common are very common and those it indicates should be scarce are scarce.
It is known that after million and millions of years uranium changes into lead. B7 studying how much uranium has changed into lead, it is possible to calculate how long ago the uranium was created. The time thus calculated is about 5,500,000,000 years
Since astronomers conclude from the speed of movement of the stars that they were exploded from some central point about 5,500,000,000 years ago and since uranium was created about that time, it appears hat the explosion theory of how the universe was made maybe the correct one. This is a lesson in __________. a. geography b. history c. science d. health
