CLAIM-EVIDENCE-REASONING

Focus Question: Why is the Big Bang Theory the most acceptable theory about
the formation of the Universe and the solar system?

CLAIM
The best-supported theory of our universe's
origin center on an event known as the big
bang. This theory was born of the observer
that other galaxies are moving away from our
own at great speed in all directions, as if they
had all been propelled by an ancient explosive
force.
EVIDENCE
In the first 10^43 seconds of its existence, the
universe was very compact, less than a million
billion billionth the size of a single atom. It's
thought that at such an incomprehensibly
dense, energetic state, the four fundamental
forces gravity, electromagnetism, and the
strong and weak nuclear forces were forged
into a single force, but our current theories
haven't yet figured out how a single, unified
force would work.

REASONING
due to inflation the universe continued to expand but at a much slower rate. It's
still unclear what exactly powered inflation.
