The big bang theory is a useful and effective explanation for the cosmic

microwave background, as well as for a number of other observations.

Theories are proposed to explain observations. Real scientists don't pull

theories out of the air and then go looking for ways to support them.

That's not how science works.

How is the age of the Universe determined?

The age of the universe is determined by CMBR, which is left over energy from the Big Bang Theory. CMBR stands for Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.


How was it possible to take a picture of the universe?

It's impossible. Scientist just have to guess what it would look like. ______________ You are talking about the image based on the background microwave radiation discovered by Penzias and Wilson in the mid 1960's. It is called Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, or CMB. Many scientists were involved in theorizing and explaining this radiation. Penzias and Wilson happened upon it while working on other projects for Bell Labs. The image you have seen is not like a family photo album rendition of the universe; it is a representation of the spread of energy represented by the CMB as measured from all directions relative to earth. The radiation is everywhere; it is also very weak. The theory is that this energy is a remnant of the cosmological event(s) we call the Big Bang. The Big Bang theory predicts an even distribution of material from the first moments of the Big Bang. The suggestion from the image is that energy and matter were much more clumped than the theory would allow. Theorists are looking for the answers to this observation.

Which theory of the universe did the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation support?

The 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation supported the Big Bang theory of the universe. This radiation is considered a remnant of the early stages of the universe when it was hot and dense, aligning with the predictions of the Big Bang model.


What scientists use to support the big bang theory?

The Doppler effect and background cosmic radiation are the big ones.


Which theory is supported by the evidence of cosmic microwave backround radiation?

The evidence of cosmic microwave background radiation supports the Big Bang theory.


What theory predicted the cosmic background radiation?

The Big Bang.


Why did the discovery of cosmic background radiation with a wavelength of 7.35 cm help support the big bang theory?

Note that it also helped support the theory of inflation. The reason is that the observed radiation very closely matched what was expected from the theory.


What are the 2 terms to support the big bang theory?

1) Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation 2) The universe is very quickly expanding


Which of these is evidence that supports the big bang theory?

cosmic microwave background radiation


How ia cosmic background radiation related to the big bang theory?

The cosmic background radiation is believed to be the remains of the radiation emitted by the Universe when it started to get transparent - when it had cooled down to a temperature of about 3000 kelvin.


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.


What does cosmic background radiation change to the universe?

Cosmic background radiation provides important insights into the early universe, including its composition, density, and temperature. The presence of this radiation supports the theory of the Big Bang and helps explain the large-scale structure of the universe and the formation of galaxies. By studying cosmic background radiation, scientists can better understand the history and evolution of the universe.
