For most cosmologists, the refutation of the steady-state theory came with the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965, which was predicted by the Big Bang theory

How did the discovery of quasars disprove the steady state theory?

The steady state theory was disproved by observations in the sense that at larger distances, the Universe doesn't look the same as nearby. This means the Universe has changed over time, directly contradicting the main assumption of the steady state theory. - I am not sure to what extent quasars were involved, but quasars do tend to show up more frequently at greater distances, i.e., in the early Universe.


Is the steady state a theory o a fact?

The Steady State theory is now an obsolete theory. It was an interesting alternative to the normal Big Bang theory, but it doesn't agree with observations.The Steady State theory is now an obsolete theory.

Was and old theory resulted from the growing consensus within the scientific community as to the accuracy of the Big Bang theory?

Not sure about the intent of this question, but the Steady State Theory (an adaptation of Einstein's Static Universe Theory) was in contention with the Big Bang Theory in the early 1900s. For a while, support was split between these two theories. Eventually, the observational evidence, most notably from radio source counts, began to favor Big Bang over Steady State. There have been many other rival and alternative theories in spite of the consensus for th Big Bang Theory. While other ideas were proposed as non-standard cosmologies to explain Hubble's observations, including the Milne model and the oscillatory Universe (originally suggested by Friedmann, but advocated by Albert Einstein and Richard Tolman), the confirmed discovery and interpretation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) barrier in 1964 secured the Big Bang as the best theory of the origin and evolution of the cosmos.


What is the basic concept of the steady state theory why it failed and its lapses?

universe was not created and cannot be distroyed is the main concept of steady state theory. it was not able to tell following things; 1.why galaxies are moving. 2.it said that new galaxies form between old galaxies.but it is not seen till today.


How did Fred hoyle regard the big bang theory?

Fred Hoyle was a proponent of the steady-state theory of the universe and was critical of the Big Bang theory. He famously likened the Big Bang theory to a "Big Bang" creation event and continued to advocate for his steady-state theory even after evidence supporting the Big Bang theory emerged.

When discovered the steady state theory and when?

Steady State is not a "discovery", it's a hypothesis that has been disproved. According to Steady State, the Universe in the past should look the same as it does now. Observations of far-away galaxies show that this is not the case.


How does red-shift support the steady state theory?

Red shift does not support the steady state theory.

Who is the Author of the Steady State Theory?

The author authors of the Steady State Theory are Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi. The Steady State Theory is also known as the Infinite Universe Theory or continuous creation.


How long has the universe existed going by the Steady State Theory?

The steady-state theory is obsolete - it is now known that the Universe does change over time (the Steady-State Theory states that it doesn't). According to the Steady-State Theory, the Universe has no beginning and no end.


Which theory states that the universe has always exitsted as it is now?

steady state theory


Who discover steady state theory?

Fred Hoyle.


Evedince supporting the steady state theory?

Observational data does not support the Steady State Theory. The central idea of the Steady State Theory is that the aspect of the Universe (the way it looks) won't change over time; it is quite clear, from observations, that in the remote past, the Universe looked quite different from what it looks now.


What theory competed with the Big Bang theory for awhile as an explanation for the expansion of the universe?

The most usual name is the "Steady State" theory. The term "Big Bang" was actually coined by someone who was a proponent of the Steady State theory as a way of making fun of it.


How can the Steady State theory and Big Bang theory both be true because they were both awarded the Nobel Prize?

# They can't; # What makes you say that the Steady State theory won a Nobel Prize? The Steady State theory is attributable primarily to Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi, none of whom ever won a Nobel Prize (Hoyle arguably should have shared in the 1983 prize for his work on stellar nucleosynthesis, but that was a separate topic and had little to do with steady state theory). (For that matter, the Big Bang theory was proposed by Georges LeMaitre, who also did not win a Nobel Prize; the 1978 prize for physics went to Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation which was considered to be evidence that the Big Bang theory was correct, not for the Big Bang theory itself.)


What is the explanation for the steady state theory?

The Steady State theory states that matter is produced in the universe at a continuous rate, so that the universe stays constant throughout space and time. It is no longer an accepted theory in much of the scientific community.
