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.

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.


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.

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 suggests that the universe has existed forever, with no beginning or end. It posits that the universe has always looked the same and is continuously expanding as new matter is created to fill in the gaps left by the expansion.


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 discovery destroyed the steady state theory?

The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 by Penzias and Wilson provided strong evidence in support of the Big Bang theory, contradicting the predictions of the steady state theory. The steady state theory proposed a continuous creation of matter to maintain a constant density of the universe, but the presence of the cosmic microwave background radiation was better explained by the rapid expansion and cooling of the universe after the Big Bang.


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.


What is the steady star theory?

I think you mean the steady state theory. This is the idea that new matter is constantly being created as the universe expands. We now have evidence that the big bang theory is a far more likely one.


Why don't scientists accept the steady state theory?

Scientists do not widely accept the steady state theory because it does not align with observed evidence such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the Hubble expansion of the universe. These observations strongly support the Big Bang theory, which is the prevailing cosmological model.
