First and foremost, humans have always had difficulty conceiving of a cosmos that is billions of years old and changing over time. Thus, the idea that all stars are moving apart from each other, and have been doing so for 13 billion years, would be difficult to accept.
Einstein himself was loathe to accept anything but a stable Universe that had not changed over all eternity. When his own General Relativity showed that our Universe would collapse over time, he "fixed" the problem with a wave of his hand. He invented, out of thin air, the existence of an energy that perfectly counter-balanced the tendency of space with matter within to collapse. When Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre showed that an expanding universe satisfied the laws of GR, but also demanded a Universe with a beginning, Einstein retorted, "Your math is correct, but your physics is abominable."
Prior to the late 1920s, no scientist had any conception of stars existing outside our own Milky Way. Not until Edwin Hubble showed that those "nebulae" were instead other galaxies AND that they were moving away from us, did anyone need to explain the latter fact of our Universe.
Most cosmologists were reluctant to accept LeMaitre's work because (1) they shared Einstein's distaste for a Universe with a beginning and (2) Hubble's work indicated a Universe YOUNGER than the oldest stars known to exist. For decades, nobody knew of any test that would unambiguously prove, one way or another, whether our Universe had a beginning.
In 1964, radio astronomers discovered -- BY ACCIDENT -- microwave radiation that could only be explained by a Big Bang. And, over the decades, the age of our Universe as predicted by the Hubble Constant has been shown to be greater than the oldest stars. Even though a scientist who shared a Nobel Prize, for showing our Universe had a beginning, admits his preference for a Universe with infinite age, he (like all those dedicated to scientifc research) accept the results of his experiments.
What else can I help you with?
What is the accepted name for the theory which explains the formation of our universe?
The Big Bang is the theory that was developed to describe the origins of the universe.
Why was the Big Bang theory not heard?
It was heard. It was just not immediately accepted by everybody.
Which is theory commonly accepted by the scientist?
Big Bang and Darwinism-2 examples
What is Theory that many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin of the universe?
The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted.
What is a theory that many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin the universe?
The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted.
How well is the big bang theory accepted by the scientific community?
The Big Bang Theory is very well accepted by the scientific community; it is considered to be solidly supported, and it is regarded as the best theory that we presently have, to explain the origin of the universe as we know it.
What is another name for the Nebula Theory?
The Nebula Theory is also known as the Solar Nebula Theory. It is a widely accepted model for the formation of our solar system.
Was the big bang rejected?
The Big Bang theory is widely accepted in the scientific community as the most plausible explanation for the origins of the universe. While there may be ongoing debates and refinements to the theory, it has not been rejected as a whole.
If the big bang theory is accepted where did the matter come from to create the big bang?
Boobs. There was one massive pair of jugs that became the universe. Yes. You sir, are a tit.
What do you understand by the big bang theory?
The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted theory of how the universe began. Basically there was a ball of matter that just burst due to the intense pressure inside, it spread out in all directions, and still expands to this day, creating the universe.
What is the current theory on how the universe started?
The current prevailing theory is the Big Bang theory, which posits that the universe began as a singularity around 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. This theory is supported by various lines of evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the observed expansion of the universe.
How was matter created if the bing bang theory is false?
There are various scientific theories about the origins of matter, but the Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted explanation for the early moments of the universe. If the Big Bang theory were to be proven false, it would require a new, evidence-based theory to explain the creation of matter. However, as of now, the Big Bang theory remains the prevailing scientific understanding of the universe's origins.
