That's an outdated theory about the Universe. Like the Big Bang, it accepted that the Universe is expanding, but it assumed that the Universe didn't change over time. Rather, new matter would be created everywhere in space.
An interesting theory; however, it was not confirmed by observational evidence. The Universe DID look different in the past.
This was a theory that the Universe had lasted forever, would continue to last forever, and was essentially unchanged.
When the red shift was found, it rapidly incorperated continuous creation (Hydrogen atoms supposedly) to fill in the new empty space.
Evidence for the "big bang" finally discredited it.
Note: the term "big bang" was invented by the suporters of the steady state theory to discredit the new, upstart theory.
Sir Fred Hoyle, a British astronomer, is widely credited with having developed the concept called "Steady State", but in fact, the idea is ages old; "As it was, as it is now, and ever shall be, world without end..." is as good a description of the "steady state" hypothesis as any.
Dr. Hoyle had major philosophical problems with the "Big Bang", a term that Hoyle invented. ANSWER Actually William MacMillian (1861-1948) thought of it, Fred Hoyle and his group just modified it.
The Steady State Theory was proposed as an alternative to the Big Bang. As I understand it, it wasn't based on any specific evidence, it was simply an alternative explanation for the expanding Universe. (The expansion of the Universe is evidenced by the Doppler effect; both Steady State and Big Bang assume that the Universe is expanding.) The Steady State Theory is now considered obsolete, since newer observations contradict it. Specifically, the older Universe (further away from us does NOT look the same as the newer Universe (closer to us). Steady State proposed that the Universe wouldn't change over time.
Currently I think that it is the Big Bang and the continuous expansion theories.
Black holes, birth and death of stars and galaxies are not theories but the most studied subjects nowadays. (my opinion)
There isn't very much right now; that theory is largely discredited currently.
Sir James Jeans invented it. Later it was developed by: Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi.
Very few scientists support 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The steady-state theory is obsolete - it is now known that the Universe does change over time (the Steady-State Theory states that it doesn't).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.
Red shift does not support the steady state theory.
The steady-state universe theory
Red shift supports the steady state theory in that the red shift indicates the Continuity Condition. Steady State means Conservation of Energy and does not require an expanding universe. It is the misunderstanding of red shift that adds the requirement of an expanding universe and the need for continuous creation.Hubble saw red shift as a "hitherto unrecognized principle of nature", not an expansion of the universe. less prudent physicists have misunderstood red shift. Red shift is an indicator of "continuity condition" and the result of centrifugal force balancing gravitational centripetal force.Steady State is the proper term for Conservation of Energy or Homeostasis, which seems to characterize the universe. "Steady State Theory" without expansion is well supported by red shift.The proper Theory of Gravity, E = -mu/r + mcV, accounts for 'dark Energy and red shift" and a finite universe.
Steady state gain,
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.
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.

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.

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.
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

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.
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.
