What is 5 quadrillion in Roman numerals?
In Roman numerals, 5 is represented by the letter V. Quadrillion is not a standard Roman numeral term, as the Roman numeral system was not designed to represent numbers as large as quadrillion. In Roman numerals, the system is based on combinations of letters to represent numbers up to the thousands.
How many scientists accept the big bang theory?
Practically all astronomers and physicists accept the Big Bang model, and more specifically, the LCDM model. Outside of the fields of astronomy and physics, acceptance may be a bit less, but still constitutes a vast majority of the scientific community.
What is the relationship between cosmic background and the big bang theory?
It follows logically from what we know about physics that the expansion of the universe from a hot and dense state should produce a remnant of microwave radiation. Reasoning from the Big Bang model (particularly the LCDM model), it is also possible to work out the intensity (temperature) of that radiation, and the nature, size and distribution of variations in that radiation. Detailed observations of the night sky have confirmed these predictions to a remarkable degree.
Who supported the big bang-theory?
Pretty much every astronomer and (astro)physicist today supports the LCDM model. Of course, like every scientific model, it started out with a few single sources, and went through a process of gradual scientific acceptance in the following decades. A few notable names are: Edwin Hubble, who first observed the correlation between redshift and apparent distance of celestial objects; Georges LeMaitre, who first came up with the notion of the observable universe expanding outward from a 'primordial atom'; Edward Milne, who proposed an oscillatory variant of the BB model; Fred Hoyle, who initially opposed the BB model and coined the term 'Big Bang', likely as a mild pejorative; George Gamow, Ralph Alpher and Robert Herman, who proposed nucleosynthesis as an explanation for the formation of heavier elements and predicted the existence and nature of cosmic background radiation; For more detailed information on the history of the Big Bang model and its scientific acceptance, see links below.
