Would the big bang theory help explain the shift?
I presume the question refers to the "redshift" of distant galaxies. Actually it is the other way around - i.e. the Doppler redshift helps to support and explain the Big Bang Theory. This "redshift" is called the "cosmological redshift". Strictly speaking, it's not the Doppler effect.
Why was the big bang theory?
The Big Bang theory was set up to explain observations - for example, the redshift of distant galaxies, which is usually interpreted to mean that the galaxies move away from us.
Did Edwin Hubble's discovery change the the Big Bang theory?
The Big Bang theory proposes that the Universe was very small, dense and hot in at some point in the past and that it has been expanding ever since. Hubble's observation that the Universe is in fact expanding agrees with the Big Bang theory.
How might the redshift indicate there is evidence for the big bang theory?
The redshift of galaxies is evidence for the Big Bang theory because it shows that the universe is expanding. When light from distant galaxies is redshifted, it means that those galaxies are moving away from us, indicating that the universe is getting larger and supporting the idea that everything originated from a single point in a massive explosion.
What shift did hubble see that supported the big bang theory?
Redshift; the generally accepted explanation for the redshift of distant galaxies is that it is cosmological redshift, caused by the expansion of the Universe. This is somewhat related to the idea of the Doppler effect.
What are the three main pieces of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory?
The three main pieces of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory are the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements in the universe, and the redshift of galaxies.
How do cosmic background radiation the chemical composition of the universe redshift of light and movement of galaxies support the theory of the Big Bang?
Redshift: The only reasonable explanation for the redshift is that most galaxies are moving away from us.As for the cosmic background radiation and the chemical composition, both of these closely match what is expected from the models about the Big Bang.
What two discoveriessupported the big bang theory?
Supporting evidence includes:* Redshift of distant galaxies, usually interpreted to be due to the expansion of the Universe. * The cosmic microwave background radiation closely agrees with what is expected from the Big Bang theory. * The distribution of elements (and isotopes) in the Universe closely agrees with what is expected from the Big Bang theory.
What theory proposes that all the matter in the universe simply exploded outward after it was compressed into a small space under tremendous pressure'?
the big bang theory
Who is the english physicist responsible for the Big Bang Theory?
According to Wikipedia the theory which became know as the "Big Bang Theory" was first seriously proposed in 1931 by Georges Lemaitre. The name "Big Bang Theory" is attributed later (1949) to the astronomer Fred Hoyle. The appropriate search term on Wikipedia is "Big Bang".
What states that are between 15 and 20 billion years ago the universe began expanding out of an enormous explosion?
The Big Bang theory states that approximately 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began expanding out of a dense and hot state, rather than 15-20 billion years ago. This theory is supported by observations such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of distant galaxies.
What theory do many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin of the universe?
Many scientists accept the Big Bang theory as the explanation for the origin of the universe. This theory proposes that the universe began as a singularity approximately 13.8 billion years ago, and has been expanding ever since. The evidence for the Big Bang includes the cosmic microwave background radiation and the observed redshift of distant galaxies.
