Who is the father of Big Bang Theory?

Georges Lemaître
In 1927, the Belgian Catholic priest Georges Lemaître proposed an expanding model
for the universe to explain the observed redshifts of spiral nebulae, and calculated the
Hubble law. He based his theory on the work of Einstein and De Sitter, and
independently derived Friedmann's equations for an expanding universe.

What is the big bang singularity?


The initial singularity was a singularity of seemingly infinite density thought to have
contained all of the mass and space-time of the Universe before quantum
fluctuations caused it to rapidly expand in the Big Bang and subsequent
inflation,creating the present-day Universe.

Who gave the first evidence of the big bang theory?


This universal expansion was predicted from general relativity by Alexander
Friedmann in 1922 and Georges Lemaître in 1927, well before Hubble made his 1929
analysis and observations, and it remains the cornerstone of the Big Bang theory as
developed by Friedmann, Lemaître, Robertson, and Walker.
What was there before the Big Bang?

Stephen Hawking has said that "Since events before the Big Bang have no
observational consequences, one may as well cut them out of the theory, and say that
time began at the Big Bang. Events before the Big Bang, are simply not defined,
because there's no way one could measure what happened at them."

Who discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation?


On May 20, 1964, American radio astronomers Robert Wilson and Arno
Penziasdiscovered the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), the ancient
light that began saturating the universe 380,000 years after its creation. And they did so
pretty much by accident.

Who discovered the Hubble's law?


In 1927, two years before Hubble published his own article, the Belgian priest
andastronomer Georges Lemaître was the first to publish research deriving what is
now known as Hubble's Law.

What is the Big Bang theory in simple terms?


The Big Bang is a scientific theory about how the universe started, and then made the
stars and galaxies we see today. The universe began as a very hot, small, and dense
superforce (the mix of the four fundamental forces), with no stars, atoms, form, or
structure (called a "singularity").

Who created the theory of the Big Bang?


A Belgian priest named Georges Lemaître first suggested the big bang theory in the
1920s when he theorized that the universe began from a single primordial atom.

Who named the Big Bang theory?
Lemaître himself also described his theory as "the Cosmic Egg exploding at the moment
of the creation"; it became better known as the "Big Bang theory," a pejorative term
coined during a 1949 BBC radio broadcast by the astronomer Fred Hoyle, who was
then still a proponent of the steady state universe and remained so

What is the universe expanding into?


The short answer is that this is a nonsense question, the Universe isn't expanding
into anything, it's just expanding. The definition of the Universe is that it contains
everything. If something was outside the Universe, it would also be part of
theUniverse too.

What happened to the singularity?


The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that
moment. According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as
"singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. ... They are thought to exist at the core of
"black holes."

Why was the discovery of the cosmic background radiation so important?


Their detection of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the radiation left over
from the birth of the universe, provided the strongest possible evidence that the
universe expanded from an initial violent explosion, known as The Big Bang.

How old is the universe thought to be?


How Old is the Universe? Until recently, astronomers estimated that the Big Bang
occurred between 12 and 14 billion years ago. To put this in perspective, the Solar
System is thought to be 4.5 billion years old and humans have existed as a genus for
only a few million years

What is Edwin Hubble's theory?


Edwin P. Hubble revolutionized cosmology by proving that the clouds of light
astronomers saw in the night sky were actually other galaxies beyond our Milky Way.
His greatest discovery was in 1929, when he identified the relationship between a
galaxy's distance and the speed with which it is moving.

What is Dr Hubble's greatest discovery?


The Hubble Space Telescope was named after astronomer Edwin
Powell Hubble(1889–1953), who made some of the most important discoveries in
modern astronomy. As an astronomer, Dr. Hubble was a late bloomer.
Before discoveringhis passion for the stars, Dr. Hubble earned a law degree and
served in World War I.

What was the universe like at the very beginning?


In the first moments after the Big Bang, the universe was extremely hot and dense. As
the universe cooled, conditions became just right to give rise to the building blocks of
matter – the quarks and electrons of which we are all made.

What is the definition of a singularity?


A singularity means a point where some property is infinite. For example, at the center
of a black hole, according to classical theory, the density is infinite (because a finite
mass is compressed to a zero volume). Hence it is a singularity.

Who discovered a black hole?


The first modern solution of general relativity that would characterize a black hole was
found by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, although its interpretation as a region of space
from which nothing can escape was first published by David Finkelstein in 1958.

How do we know that the universe is expanding?


The space in between the galaxies is stretching! And the farther away a galaxy is the
more space there is to stretch so the faster the galaxy appears to move away from us.
Over the past half-century astronomers have observed many other facts about the
universe that all point to the fact that the universe isexpanding.

How much money do Howard and Raj make per episode?


As for Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) and Kunal Nayyar (Raj Koothrappali), they're
making about 80% of their castmates' $1 million salary. People reports that Helberg is
making $750,000 per episode and, according to Deadline, Nayyar is making about the
same.

When did the show Big Bang Theory start?


The first season of the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory was originally aired on
CBS from September 24, 2007, to May 19, 2008, over 17 episodes. An unaired pilot
also exists.

What is a look back time?


The expansion of the universe makes measuring the distance to distant objects
complicated. Rather than using distance units, astronomers measure the redshift (z) of
distant objects such as galaxies. z corresponds to the number of years the light from an
object has traveled to reach us.

When was the steady state theory proposed?


Influential papers on steady state cosmologies were published by Hermann Bondi,
Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle in 1948. It is now known that Albert Einstein considered
a steady-state model of the expanding universe, as indicated in a 1931 manuscript,
many years before Hoyle, Bondi and Gold.

What is there beyond space?


Astronomers think space might be infinite, with "stuff" (energy, galaxies, etc.) distributed
pretty much the same as it is in the observable universe. If it is, that has some seriously
weird implications for what lies out there. Beyond the Hubble Volume you won't just
find more, different planets

What is Stephen Hawking's theory of time?


A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes is a popular-science book on
cosmology (the study of the universe) by British physicist Stephen Hawking. It was first
published in 1988. Hawking wrote the book for nonspecialist readers with no prior
knowledge of scientific theories.

What is the steady state theory?


Steady-state theory, in cosmology, a view that the universe is always expanding but
maintaining a constant average density, with matter being continuously created to form
new stars and galaxies at the same rate that old ones become unobservable as a
consequence of their increasing distance and velocity of recession.
