1. Big Bang Evidence

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Big Bang Theory: The scientific explanation that the universe originated from a hot, dense state approximately 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since.
  • Redshift: The phenomenon where light from distant galaxies shifts toward the red end of the spectrum, indicating they are moving away from us, supporting the universe's expansion.
  • Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB): The faint thermal radiation filling the universe, detected as a uniform glow, which is evidence of the universe's hot and dense beginning.
  • Universe Expansion: The ongoing increase in distance between galaxies, observed through redshift, indicating the universe is still expanding after the Big Bang.
  • Hubble's Law: The observation that the velocity at which a galaxy recedes is proportional to its distance from Earth, providing evidence for universe expansion.
