    The document summarizes three theories about the origin and evolution of the universe: 1) The Big Bang Theory proposes that the universe began in an enormous explosion around 13 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. 2) The Oscillating Universe Theory suggests that after expanding for billions of years, the universe will eventually stop expanding and collapse back in on itself, before exploding outward again in another Big Bang. 3) The Steady State Theory contends that the universe has always looked the same and will continue indefinitely, with matter spontaneously created as the universe expands to fill the newly created space.

    The Big Bang Theory

     Since the 1880s, scientists have observed that light coming from distant
    stars has a red shift, showing those stars are moving away from us at high
    speeds.
     1920s - theory that the universe was created by a huge explosion, and all
    matter in the universe is still flying away from that explosion at enormous
    speeds.
     Named the Big Bang Theory around 1930.

    Oscillating Theory

     Most astronomers agree that the Universe is expanding.


    Some believe that at some stage in the future, the
    Universe will stop expanding and begin to contract.
     Oscillating means forward and backwards motion or
    expansion and contraction of the Universe.
     Universe collapses under its own weight - The Big
    Crunch.

    Steady State Theory

     This holds that the universe looks


    essentially the same from every spot in
    it and at every time.
     Universe has no beginning and no end.
     Matter is continuously created out of
    nothing.
     Support began to decline in 1960s
    (leftover radiation from Big Bang was
    discovered)
