Very small, very dense, very hot. Basically, all the matter that is currently in the Universe was initially concentrated in a space smaller than an atom.

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.
How is it possible that the universe could have existed for an infinite amount of time in the same state if galaxies are continuously receding from each other?
The universe has not existed in the same state for an infinite amount of time, that would be the steady state theory, which has been replaced by the big bang theory. The galaxies are moving away from each other because the universe is expanding at an increasing rate. It has been expanding since the big bang happened 13.7 billion years ago.
What is the moment in time when the universe started to expand out in an extremely hot dense state?
yes *Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state. It's a line from a song by the Barenaked Ladies called The Big Bang Theory, created as the opening song to the show The Big Bang Theory.
Did anyone state that the universe is of infinite size and has always existed?
Yes. Back in the 1930's, the concept of the "Steady State Universe" was common; the idea of a "big bang" was laughable. In fact, the phrase "big bang" was originally a derisive term for the idea of a universe that had a definite beginning. If you're looking for a specific name, Fred Hoyle was one of the primary proponents of the Steady State theory.
Who came up with the theory of the big bang?
Yes, but not initially as Einstein was a major proponent of the Steady State theory. Einstein is puported to have spent the latter years of his life trying to justify his Steady State Theory with the concepts and supportive evidence for an evolving inflationary universe theory.
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The steady-state theory is obsolete - it is now known that the Universe does change over time (the Steady-State Theory states that it doesn't).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.
What theory proposes that the universe does not change with time?
The steady-state universe theory
Do all metals change?
Yes, everything in the universe according to M theory is in a state of change.
When was Copernicus universe theory state?
1543
Which theory states that the universe has always exitsted as it is now?
steady state theory
Who believed that the universe always existed?
Although the most scientists agree that the Universe began with the Big Bang, there were some who disagreed. Three Brithish scientists put forward the Steady State Theory. According to this theory, the Universe looks the same no matter the viewpoint, and the Universe has always looked like this. To put it simply, the Universe is uniform throughout both time and space, and had no 'begining'. The Steady State theory is simple, it had no answer to the many phenomena found in the Universe. As a result, it gradually lost its supporters.
How long has the universe existed according to the Steady State Theory?
The Steady State Universe was an enhancement of upon Albert Einstein's Static Universe and was proposed in 1948 by Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle. The revised Steady State Theory was based on an extension of something called the Perfect Cosmological Principle, which holds that the universe looks essentially the same from every spot in it and at every time. Or more simply stated, the revised Steady State Theory promotes that new matter and energy are continuously created as the universe expands and the rationalization for an ageless universe.
Is the universe the creation of matter or the expansion of matter which is pre existing?
The matter that existed since the Big Bang is expanding. A few decades ago, a "steady-state" theory was popular; according to it, matter was created as the Universe expanded, thus maintaining the matter density in the Universe constant. However, observational evidence did not support this theory.The matter that existed since the Big Bang is expanding.

What is 'Pulsating theory' and 'Steady state theory'?
Pulsating Theory According to this theory, the universe is supposed to be expanding and contracting alternately i.e. pulsating. At present, the universe is expanding. According to pulsating theory, it is possible that at a certain time, the expansion of the universe may be stopped by the gravitational pull and the may contract again. After it has been contracted to a certain size, explosion again occurs and the universe will start expanding. The alternate expansion and contraction of the universe give rise to pulsating universe.
Why was the big bang theory taken forward?
The Big Bang Theory and the revised Steady State Theory are similar in that they are both in compliance with the Cosmological Principle, which states that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic in Space and Time, and the concept of an expanding universe. The Big Bang Theory and the revised Steady State Theory are different by virtue of their proposed models. The Big Bang supports interpreted observational evidence for an evolutionary expansion of the universe and rationalization for a finite age of the universe. The revised Steady State Theory promotes that new matter and energy are continuously created as the universe expands and the rationalization for an ageless universe.
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.
What was distributed as the universe expanded in the Big Bang theory?
As the universe expanded (and continues to expand) per the Big Bang theory, matter and energy also expanded or could be said to have been distributed or scattered from its initial state, although not in a perfectly uniform fashion, leading to the large scale structures in the universe visible today. Advanced theories indicate that intrinsic properties of the universe also began to expand, such as space itself.
