BIG BANG THEORY

The broadly accepted theory for


the origin and evolution of our
universe is the Big Bang model,
which states that the universe
began as an incredibly hot, dense
point roughly 13.7 billion years
ago.

Why is the Big Bang the most accepted theory?


The theory of the Big Bang is an attempt to understand what happened at the very
start of our universe. In astronomy and physics, discoveries have shown beyond a
reasonable doubt that our universe actually had a beginning. Prior to that moment
there was nothing; after and after that moment there was something: our world.

of cosmic microwave radiation—interpreted as
echoes of the big bang—by Arno Penzias and
Robert Wilson.
