    History of The Big Bang Theory

    Georges Lemaitre first proposed the theory of an expanding universe and a primordial atom in 1927. Edwin Hubble later showed in 1929, using the telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory in California, that distant galaxies appeared to be receding from Earth at speeds proportional to their distances, providing evidence the universe was expanding. This helped establish the Big Bang theory, which is further supported by the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964 and observations that galaxies are redshifted and the abundance of hydrogen and helium in the universe.

    HISTORY OF THE BIG BANG THEORY

    GEORGES LEMAITRE (1927)


    (Georges Henri Joseph Edouard Lemaitre)

    - Belgian astronomer, cosmologist and Catholic


    priest
    - Proposed the Hypothesis of the Primeval
    Atom or “cosmic egg hypothesis”
    - Published in Belgium a virtually unnoticed
    paper that provided a compelling solution to
    the equations of General Relativity for the
    case of expanding universe

    EDWIN HUBBLE (1929)
    - using the telescope at Mt. Wilson in California,
    had shown that the distant galaxies all appeared
    to be receding from us at speeds proportional
    to their distances

    3
    EDWIN HUBBLE (1929)
    - using the world’s largest telescope at Mt.
    Wilson in California, had shown that the distant
    galaxies all appeared to be receding from us at
    speeds proportional to their distances

    Spectrograph- breaks the light from a single material
    into its component colors the way a prism splits white
    light into a rainbow
    - It records this spectrum, which allows scientists to
    analyze the light and discover properties of the
    6 material interacting with it

    EDWIN HUBBLE (1929)

    - using the telescope at Mt. Wilson in California,


    had shown that the distant galaxies all appeared
    to be receding from us at speeds proportional
    to their distances
    - observed that the galaxies are redshifting
