    The Big Bang Theory

    The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation for how the universe began approximately 13.8 billion years ago from a primordial singularity. It asserts that the universe expanded from this initial extremely hot and dense state and continues to expand today. Edwin Hubble provided evidence supporting this through observations that galaxies outside the Milky Way existed and were moving away from Earth, indicating an expanding universe. Georges Lemaître first proposed this theory, referring to the primordial state as the "primeval atom." The cosmic microwave background radiation discovered in 1965 provides some of the strongest evidence for the Big Bang.

    THE BIG BANG THEORY

    Group 1 of 11-St. Irenaeus


    The Big Bang Theory is
    the leading explanation
    about how the universe
    began. At its simplest, it
    says the universe as we
    know it started with a
    small singularity, then
    inflated over the next
    13.8 billion years to the
    cosmos that we know
    today.
    Different people use the term
    "Big Bang" in different ways.
    Most generally, it illustrates the
    arc of the observable universe
    as it thinned out and cooled
    down from an initially dense,
    hot state. This description boils
    down to the idea that the
    cosmos is expanding, a broad
    principle analogous to survival
    of the fittest in biology that
    few would consider
    debatable.
    For most of human history, observers
    of the sky assumed it eternal and
    unchanging. Edwin Hubble dealt this
    story an experimental blow in the
    1920s when his observations showed
    both that galaxies outside the Milky
    Way existed, and that their light
    appeared stretched — a sign that
    they were rushing away from Earth.
    Edwin Powell Hubble played a crucial role in
    establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy
    and observational cosmology and is regarded as
    one of the most important astronomers of all time.
    George Lemaître, a contemporary
    Belgian physicist, interpreted data
    from Hubble and others as evidence
    of an expanding universe, a
    possibility permitted by Einstein's
    recently published field equations of
    general relativity. Thinking
    backwards, Lemaître inferred that
    today's separating galaxies must
    have started out together in what he
    called the "primeval atom."
    Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, RAS Associate was a Jesuit
    trained Belgian Roman Catholic priest, mathematician, astronomer, and
    professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain.
    The first public use of the modern
    term for Lemaître's idea actually
    came from a critic — English
    astronomer Fred Hoyle. On March
    28, 1949, Hoyle coined the phrase
    during a defense of his preferred
    theory of an eternal universe that
    created matter to cancel out the
    dilution of expansion. Hoyle said
    the notion that "all matter of the Sir Fred Hoyle FRS was an English
    universe was created in one big astronomer who formulated the
    bang at a particular time in the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis.
    remote past," was irrational.
    Regardless of its name, the Big Bang theory found
    widespread acceptance for its unparalleled ability to
    explain what we see. The balance of light with
    particles like protons and neutrons during the first 3
    minutes, for instance, let early elements form at a rate
    predicting the current amounts of helium and other
    light atoms.
    BUT HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

    A cloudy plasma filled the universe for the next


    378,000 years, until further cooling let electrons and
    protons form neutral hydrogen atoms, and the fog
    cleared. The light emitted during this process, which
    has since stretched into microwaves, is the earliest
    known object researchers can study directly. Known
    as the cosmic microwave background (CMB)
    radiation, many researchers consider it the strongest
    evidence for the Big Bang.
    The big bang was a violent explosion which
    caused the inflation and expansion of the
    universe. At that moment, the universe was
    extremely hot that matter cannot yet exist. In a
    fraction of a second, four fundamental forces
    were formed: gravity, electromagnetic force,
    strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force.

    PONDER ON THIS?
    • Personally, do you believe in the Big Bang
    Theory? Why?

    • Why do you think the Big Bang Theory is


    the most accepted model on the
    formation of the universe?
