How does red shifting support the big bang theory?

The so-called red shift, a Doppler effect, tells scientist the speed and direction in which a star is moving. By looking at the red shift of a large number of stars, they can establish that they are moving away from us, but every star is moving away from each other. So we can't tell exactly where the big bang ocurred. As many points in a fabric that deviate from one another when expanded.

First, they said that the Universe was moving away from Earth. Mathematicians, however, did not like that. Why should Earth have such a preferential position in the Universe? So the expanding Universe was "discovered." But with the red shift due to a gravity hole, the Universe need not be expanding at all. It's back to square one.

How is the big bang theory is an example od scienctific theory?

Hello i am minakshi answer is that the big bang theory is an example of old scientific theory as big bang theory explains that there was an explosion but the isotropy and the homogenity of the universe is not explained by big bang theory to explain his we connect inflatation theory with big bang theory to explain it so the big bang theory is also an example of old scientific theory.

How does Eisenstein's theory of relativity support the Big Bang theory?

The Theory of Relativity was created by Einstein, not by Eisenstein. Comment: The most obvious thing is that Einstein's equations predicted that the Universe was not "static". So a "Big Bang", expanding Universe fits the theory.

Which theory of the universe did the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation support?

I didn't check the year... But the cosmic background radiation is said to support the big bang theory, because it agrees with the radiation that is expected from an expanding Universe.
