Penzias and Wilson were awarded a Noble Prize for discovering the cosmic background radiation, the left-over 'glow' of the universe from the Big Bang Theory. This is a very weak microwave radiation. In the early part of the last century, Edwin Hubble discovered the expansion of the universe. Discussions and speculation of many scientists on the topic of expansion, (Is it expanding? What is it expanding away from? What is it expanding into? How long has this expansion been going on? What caused the expansion? and more) led to the development of the Big Bang Theory. Steven Hawking (sp?) has been investigating this kind of question for 40 years or so.

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.


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.

Is the big bang a theory or a hypothesis?

The Big Bang is a theory in cosmology that explains the origin and evolution of the universe, supported by a significant amount of observational evidence. It is not a hypothesis, as a hypothesis is an initial explanation to be tested and either supported or rejected based on evidence.


Is the red-shift responsible for the big bang theory?

No, it's the other way round. The Big Bang is responsible for the redshift.
