Pulsating Theory

According to this theory, the universe is supposed to be expanding and contracting alternately i.e. pulsating. At present, the universe is expanding. According to pulsating theory, it is possible that at a certain time, the expansion of the universe may be stopped by the gravitational pull and the may contract again. After it has been contracted to a certain size, explosion again occurs and the universe will start expanding. The alternate expansion and contraction of the universe give rise to pulsating universe.

How does red-shift support the steady state theory?

Red shift does not support the steady state theory.


How long has the universe existed going by the Steady State Theory?

The Steady State Theory suggests that the universe has existed forever, with no beginning or end. It posits that the universe has always looked the same and is continuously expanding as new matter is created to fill in the gaps left by the expansion.


What are the theories behind the revolution of the universe?

The two main theories behind the revolution of the universe are the Big Bang theory and the steady state theory. The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe began from a very hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. The steady state theory suggests that the universe has always existed in a constant state, with new matter continuously being created to maintain a constant density as the universe expands.


How does red shift support the steady state 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.


What evidence supports the Steady State Theory?

That's an outdated theory about the Universe.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.

Is the steady state a theory o a fact?

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.

Who is the Author of the Steady State 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.

Which theory states that the universe has always exitsted as it is now?

steady state theory


Who discover steady state theory?

Fred Hoyle.


Evedince supporting the steady state 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.


What theory competed with the Big Bang theory for awhile as an explanation for the expansion of the universe?

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.


What is the explanation for the steady state theory?

The Steady State theory states that matter is produced in the universe at a continuous rate, so that the universe stays constant throughout space and time. It is no longer an accepted theory in much of the scientific community.


What discovery destroyed the steady state theory?

The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 by Penzias and Wilson provided strong evidence in support of the Big Bang theory, contradicting the predictions of the steady state theory. The steady state theory proposed a continuous creation of matter to maintain a constant density of the universe, but the presence of the cosmic microwave background radiation was better explained by the rapid expansion and cooling of the universe after the Big Bang.


When discovered the steady state theory and when?

Steady State is not a "discovery", it's a hypothesis that has been disproved. According to Steady State, the Universe in the past should look the same as it does now. Observations of far-away galaxies show that this is not the case.


What is the steady star theory?

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.
