No - That is a premise of the Steady State Theory. Rather the universe has been undergoing an evolutionary expansion in which the actual environmental state of the universe is ever changing. The interpretation of observational evidence from the detection of deep space radiations have provided us a window into the past; wherein the universe of the CMBR barrier demonstrates that the universe was once just a soup of hot dense plasma.

How is it possible that the universe could have existed for an infinite amount of time in the same state if galaxies are continuously receding from each other?

The universe has not existed in the same state for an infinite amount of time, that would be the steady state theory, which has been replaced by the big bang theory. The galaxies are moving away from each other because the universe is expanding at an increasing rate. It has been expanding since the big bang happened 13.7 billion years ago.


How far is the earth from the big bang theory?

Contrary to what is often portrayed in popular presentations of the Big Bang, the event was NOT an explosion of dense matter into empty space. It wasn't an explosion of ANYTHING. It was an expansion of space itself -- and it was NOT expanding into anything. In other words, the expansion took place at all parts of our Universe at the same time. Our Earth is as much at the center of the Big Bang as every other point in our Universe.


Does the universe continue to contract shrink expand or stay the same as a result of the initial big bang according to scientists?

According to scientists the universe continues to expand as a result of the initial big bang.


Will the universe has been and always look the same?

The universe has not always looked the same; it has undergone significant changes since the Big Bang approximately 13.8 billion years ago. Initially, it was a hot, dense state that expanded and cooled, leading to the formation of stars, galaxies, and cosmic structures. In the future, the universe will continue to evolve, potentially expanding indefinitely or undergoing different scenarios like the Big Crunch or heat death. Thus, both its past and future states will differ markedly from the present.


How did Einstein's Theory of Relativity lead to the development of the Big Bang Theory?

In 1924, Alexander Friedman noted that the equations of general relativity have only two solutions: an expanding universe or a contracting universe. Independently of that work, in 1927 Georges LeMaitre used those same equations to show that an expanding universe was the only reasonable description of our Universe. His ideas were later described as a "big bang" by those who opposed them.

If there was no big bang what would the universe be like now?

Exactly the same, there was no big bang!! That theory has been proven wrong.


Has the universe not always been the same?

since ive been in the world no:)

Does the expansion of the universe mean more universe is being created?

no, acording to the big bang theory when the universe was created there was only a certain amount of energy that turned into matter; long story short it is the same amount of matter but in zero gravity the energy from the big bang is still pushing everything outward. since space itself is not matter the universe is not gettiin bigger but the stuff inside it is moving further apart.


What is the same about dark energy and dark matter?

there are the energy that mostly makes up this universe and its had been here since the beginning of the universe and also they are invisible.


How did stars become in space?

Look up the big bang, its about how the universe was created- but the big bang is the same way stars got, and are still getting created.


What is the radius of big bang?

The Big Bang is the name of an explosion which is believed to have taken place 13.8 billion years ago, and which created the universe as we know it. That explosion is still taking place, since the universe has never stopped expanding (and it is expected that it never will stop expanding, either). The radius of the Big Bang is therefore the same as the radius of the universe. The radius of the universe is thought to be roughly 14 billion light years. (Note that during the inflationary period, the universe expanded faster than the speed of light due to the creation of space, rather than the velocity of the matter involved.)


How large is empty space?

This is the same question as how big is the universe. The size of the universe is determined by how far light would travel in the years since the Big Bang. So it is a sphere of 13.7 light-years radius. We can't see all the way to the edge, but pretty close.


Does oscillation of universe occur in your universe only or there are more universes?

This is "The theory" which may also explain the acceleration, that is taking place in the universe. Our universe is surrounded by some 4 such universes, probably four pre big bang masses. In turn the four pre big bang masses are surrounded by four universes. Those universes are surrounded again four pre big bang masses. So one universe is surrounded by four pre big bang masses and one pre big bang mass is surrounded by four universes. You can find the structure of carbon atoms in case of diamond to imagine the same. So your universe is getting acceleration due to gravitational forces of the four pre big bang masses and other universes. So there is probably nothing like 'Dark energy", which "Push" the universe. But there are probably four "Pre big bang masses" and other universes, which are "Pulling" your universe from the "Out side" to give acceleration to your universe. It may take another billions of years, for your universe to "Fall", on those pre big bang masses. Once your universe "Fall" on such pre big bang masses, that will initiate "Big bang" there in those pre big bang masses. This theory also explains to why the acceleration in expansion of the universe did not start from the starting of the big bang. The big bang started at the point, where the gravitational force of the outer universes was zero, like Lagrangian points. Once your universe started to expand, it drifted more and more from this zero gravity point. That gave an opportunity to outer pre big bang masses and universes to pull your universe apart, giving it an acceleration.
