Why the cosmic background adiation was an important discovery?
It helped prove the big bang theory.
What kind of radition helped prove the big bang theory to scientists?
Cosmic background radiation.
Did the Hubble discovery come before cosmic background radiation?
Yes
What are two pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory?
Hubble's discovery in the 1920s of a relationship between a galaxy's distance from Earth and its speed; and the discovery in the 1960s of cosmic microwave background radiation.
What discovery destroyed the steady state theory?
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
Why was cosmic background radiation an important discovery?
It is important evidence of the Big Bang.

Cosmic background radiation.

Yes
Why the cosmic background radiation was an important discovery?
It verifies the Big Bang Theory. The discovery of the cosmic background didn't verify anything, least of all the Big Bang Theory, which was proposed decades later. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background was important because it was not predicted, it was not expected, it verified nothing, it could not be explained, and it therefore touched off new directions of thought and research in Physics, Cosmology, and Astronomy. Those in turn led to new discoveries, new answers, new theories, and new questions. One set of these, arising from the discovery of the CMB and other things, is the Big Bang Theory.
The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation and primordial helium gas was scientific evidence supporting what theory?
The 'big bang' theory.
What discovery destroyed the steady state theory?
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
What are two pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory?
Hubble's discovery in the 1920s of a relationship between a galaxy's distance from Earth and its speed; and the discovery in the 1960s of cosmic microwave background radiation.
What caused the cosmic radiation background?
The big bang caused the background radiation.
Which theory of the universe did the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation support?
I didn't check the year... But the cosmic background radiation is said to support the big bang theory, because it agrees with the radiation that is expected from an expanding Universe.
What is primordial background radiation?
Primordial background radiation is in actuality Cosmic Microwave Background. To discover just what Cosmic Microwave Background theories are, visit the URL posted below:http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CMB.html
What is the leftover thermal energy from the big bang?
The radiation left over from the big bang is found in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. As the universe expanded and cooled, the intense hard gamma radiation that existed became radio waves in the low gigahertz region, characteristic of a temperature around 30 Kelvin.
