Can heat be the cause of the expansion of the universe?

It's for a project at school. I really need some help...

I found this website...
http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~dhw/A873/notes6.pdf

and also here's my current work on my paper...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

1.) Is heat present in the outer space?
1.1) Are there any matter/ energy that may carry or produce heat in the outer space?
1.2) How can that matter/ energy carry and produce heat as it travels in the universe?​
2.) Is there equal distribution of particles/ matter in the universe?
2.1) Where do those particles/ matter come from?
2.2) Would the expansion be concentrated in specific areas?​
3.) Is the universe really expanding?
3.1) Will the universe continue to expand?
3.2) May the universe contract if it cools down?
3.3) How can heat support the expansion of the universe?​

Thank you so much for all of your help.

And, additional information... I also came across a website that tells me that photons and neutrinos may have a collision and the heat produced from the kinetic energy will cause the universe to expand. but because of the neutrino- there will become a cooling effect. Then, the photon heats up the space again and the neutrino cools down. It's reapets over and over in infinity, just like the expansion of the universe.

Hi there and welcome. I'm not sure what exactly the homework-helping policies are here, but here is a forum entirely for academic guidance. May I suggest you repost this there, and delete the original post here? I think you'd get a better reception. I assume we don't just DO your homework for you, but guide you to answers. That said, I'm new here too (relatively speaking)
 
The answer is no - we do not just hand out answers to people's homework questions. For two reasons:

1. It is typically cheating.
2. It is the wrong way to learn.

Please show some effort - attempt to answer the questions yourself and we can help guide from there.

Sorry for pitching in (one of the deleted posts). I made an a** out of u and me... typical.
 
Sorry, my bad.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
