THEORY
THEORY
-The leading explanation about how the universe began
BIG BANG THEORY

-THE BIG BANG WAS NOT AN EXPLOSION THAT DESTROYED

THINGS, BUT IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF ALL THINGS

-HYPOTHESIS STATES THAT ALL OF THE CURRENT AND PAST

MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE CAME INTO EXCISTENCE AT THE
SAME TIME, ROUGHLY 13.8 BILLION YEARS AGO. AT THIS
SAME TIME ALL MATTER WAS COMPACTED INTO A VERY
SMALL BALL WITH INFINITE DENSITY AND INTENSE HEAT
CALLED A “SINGULARITY”
 IT SAYS THAT WHEN THE BIGBANG HAPPENED THE “SINGULARITY”
EXPANDED WHICH MADE ALL THE MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE
MOVES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
 THE IDEA THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS SUDDENLY BORN AND IS NOT
INFINITE UP TO THE MIDDLE OF THE 20th CENTURY, MOST SCIENTIST
THOUGHT OF THE UNIVERSE AS INFINITE AND AGELESS
-UNTIL EINSTEIN’S THEORY OF RELATIVELY GAVE US A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF GRAVITY, AND EDWIN HUBBLE DISCOVERED
THAT GALAXIES ARE MOVING APART FROM EACH OTHER IN A WAY
THAT FITS PREVIOUS PREDICTIONS
-IN 1964 , BY ACCIDENT , COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION WAS
DISCOVERED, A RELIC OF THE EARLY UNIVERSE WHICH , TOGETHER
WITH OTHER OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE, MADE THE BIGBANG THE
ACCEPTED THEORY IN SCIENCE
 FACTS ABOUT THE BIG BANG

-THE BIG BANG ACTUALLY HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE IN THE SAME PLACE-
UNIVERSE HAS NO CENTER AND EDGE, AND EVERY PART OF THE COSMOS IS EXPANDING.
-ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO THINK SCIENTIFICALLY ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE
UNIVERSE WAS A CATHOLIC PRIEST- HIS NAME IS GEORGES LAMAÎTRE
-THE BIG BANG MAY NOT DESCRIBE THE ACTUAL BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING- THE
SINGULARITY IS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE UNIVERSE WE OBSERVE , BUT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING
THAN CAME BEFORE.
( AND ALSO, THE BIG BANG SOUNDS WEIRD )
 WHAT EXISTED BEFORE THE BIG BANG?

- SCIENTIST ARE ACTUALLY NOT SURE.

- HOWEVER, OUR UNIVERSE IS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEGAN AS INFINITELY HOT,
INFINITRLY DENSE, ‘SOMETHING’ – A SINGULARITY
- ACCORDING TO THE BIG BANG THEORY EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS IN THE
KNOWN UNIVERSE CAME FROM THIS SINGULARITY.
- WHERE DID IT CAME FROM? WE DON’T KNOW AND MAYBE WE NEVER WILL.
- WHY DID IT APPEAR? WE DON’T KNOW

 WHAT SUPPORTING
EVIDENCE ABOUT
BIG BANG THEORY IS
THERE?
 FIRST PIECE OF EVIDENCE

- STARS AND GALAXIES ARE MOVING FURTHER AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AT A
KNOWN RATE OF SPEED – “RED SHIFT”
- THIS IMPLIES THEY WERE ONCE ‘MUCH’ CLOSER
- IF WE IMAGINE EVERYTHING REWINDING YOU GET TO A POINT WHERE EVERYTHING
MUST HAVE EXPLODED
 SECOND PIECE OF EVIDENCE

- THE RELATIVE ABUNDANCE OF ELEMENTS EVERYTHING WE NEED TO MAKE THE

UNIVERSE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN CREATED WITH THE BIG BANG e;g. THE PROPORTION
OF HYDROGEN AND HELIUM IS EXACTLY WHAT IT SHOULD BE IF THERE WAS A BIG
BANG.
- SOME OF THE ELEMENTS THAT WE SEE TODAY WERE PRODUCED AS THE UNIVERSE
EXPANDED AND COOLED.
THIRD PIECE OF EVIDENCE

- THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS EXTREMELY HOT AT ONE POINT IN ITS HISTORY. THIS HEAT LEFT
BEHIND A “GLOW” THAT PERVADES THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AS IT EXPANDED. THE BIG
BANG THEORY PREDICTS THAT THIS GLOW WILL NOT ONLY EXIST, BUT WILL ALSO BE
VISIBLE AS MICROWAVES, WHICH ARE A PART OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
- THIS IS THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND , WHICH HAS BEES PRECISELY MEASURED
BY ORBITING DETECTORS AND PROVIDES COMPELLING EVIDENCE FOR THE BIG BANG
THEORY
- BACKGROUND RADIATION FROM THE BIG BANG IS STILL AROUND NOW 9 IT’S THE FUZZY
NOISY STUFF YOU GET ON TV SETS THAT DON’T HAVE DIGITAL)
 IS THE BIGBANG
THEORY FLAWED IN ANY
WAY?
THE BIG BANG THEORY WEAKNESSES

- EVIDENCE IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL (NOT ALL SCIENTISTS AGREE)

- RELIES ON TRADITIONAL, CHRISTIAN , LINEAR VIEW OF TIME
- THEORY IS DIFFICULT AND COMPLICATEDTO UNDERSTAND AND/OR CRITIQUE
- OFFERS AN ANSWER TO ‘HOW’ QUESTIONS BUT NO FINAL ANSWER TO ‘WHY’. HENCE IT
DOES NOT OFFER ANY SENSE OF MEANING OR PURPOSE TO HUMAN LIFE
WHO’S IDEA IS THE BIG BANG THEORY

- GEORGES HENRI JOSEPH ÉDOUARD LAMAÎTRE, BORN ON JULY 17,1894- DIED JUNE
20,1966.

- A BELGIAN PRIEST GEORGES LAMAÎTRE FIRST SUGGESTED THE BIG BANG THEORY
IN THE 1920s, WHEN HE THEORIZED THAT THE UNIVERSE BAGAN FROM A
SINGLE , PRIMEVAL “SUPER-ATOM”.
- HE IS ALSO A COSMPLOGIST, ASTRONOMER, MATHEMATICIAN, AND A PROFESSOR
OF PHYSICS AT A CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF LOUVIAN.
- HE IS CALLED THE FATHER OF THE BIG BANG THEORY.
 BIG BANG THEORY IS AN UNPROVABLE THEORY THAT
MUST BE “TESTABLE” THROUGH OBSERVATION OR
EXPERIMENTATION. BUT DESPITE SOME NOTABLE
PROBLEMS THE BIG BANG THEORY HAS REMAINED
LARGELY CONSISTENT WITH THE OBSERVATIONS AND
IS WIDELY ACCEPTED THROUGH THE COSMOLOGICAL
COMMUNITY.
