ALTERNATE THEORIES OF THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

Jennifer G., Allie H., and Alex J.

Basics of The Big Bang Theory Theory that the universe started through

a single point and has been expanding ever since

The universe started as a singularity Singularities are zones which defy our

current understanding of physics Thought to exist at the center of black

holes

Evidence of The Big Bang Theory Hubble's Law: galaxies appear to be moving

away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This observation supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted

If the universe was once very hot, as the Big Bang Theory says it was, we should be able to find some remnant of this heat; in 1956 two radio astronomers discovered something that is thought to be this remnant

Hydrogen and Helium found in the observable universe are thought to support the Big Bang model of origins

Misconceptions of The Big Bang Theory

There was no explosion There was an expansion

People tend to think that there was a fireball that appeared somewhere in space Scientists say that there was no such

thing as space before the Big Bang Theory

Basics of The Quantum Theory Quantum physics reveals the universe to be a

single gigantic field of energy in which matter is just a slowed down form of energy

Deals with the tiniest things we know, the particles that atoms are made of, which we call subatomic particles

More complex technologies such as MRI, lasers, and physical chemistry all draw on the principles of quantum theory

Planck had sought to discover the reason that radiation from a glowing body changes in color from red, to orange, and, finally, to blue as its temperature rises.

Which theory is more reasonable? The Big Bang Theory

Easiest to understand More evidence on this theory than on

any other one Most sites said that this is the most

reasonable theory
