Actually, it wasn't the Doppler-effect that lead to the Big Bang theory, but the red-shift of remote galaxies. Although it was initially thought that this red-shift might be caused by a Doppler-effect, it is now understood that this red-shift is caused by the metric expansion of space itself.

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.


Where can you purchase penny's comforter on the big bang theory?

Penny's comforter from "The Big Bang Theory" is a distinctive floral-patterned design that can often be found at retailers like Target or online marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay. It may also be available through specialty bedding stores or websites that sell TV show merchandise. Checking for licensed replicas or similar styles can lead you to find an option that resembles her comforter.


If the Big Bang theory ever is disproved would the estimates on the size and age of the universe still hold true?

Ummmm..............Me thinks the "BigBang" has already been changed to the "Big Expansion". Where the Universe is Infinite, has always been and will always be........just fluctuating as the "Branes" in the 11th dimension fluctuate. See these links: www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/qg_ss.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstring_theory Then there is the Infinite Fractal Universe See this link: http://www.stanford.edu/%7Ealinde/1032226.pdf In any account, the Universe is VVVVEEERRRRYYYY old indeed. We know that the Earth is some 4.5 billion years old and the sun some 4.7 to 5 billion years old and our solar system is very young in comparison to the rest of the Universe so the approximately 13.7 Billion years that is attributed to it is probably pretty close in any Theory. TommyTrouble ;-) To build off of Tommy, If the Big Bang theory is disproven, the estimates about the size and age of the universe will need adjusting. They are currently based off of the same ideas and models that make up Big Bang theory. How much they will need adjusting is the question, and that has no answer. It depends on whether the theory is dis-proven in it's entirety (like aether theory of light, or phlogiston theory of heat), or if it's just shown to be limited and inadequate, like Newton's theory of mechanics. If it's the former, large adjustments may be necessary. If the latter, small ones, as the theory isn't wrong, it just isn't complete.


Who is the main vocalist in big bang?

I think Daesung is. Taeyang is the lead vocalist (gets more part) and Daesung is the main vocalist (gets more high notes & adlib).


What is the difference between oscillating universe to big bang theory?

The Big Bang Theory holds that our present Universe was, about thirteen billion years ago, in an extremely more dense state and has been expanding from that ever since. A sub-set of that theory is that our Universe has gone through an infinite series of expansions: each of which lead to a gravitationally induced end to the expansion, then a collapse of the Universe into a state of extreme density, and then another expansion. This is called the "Oscillating Universe" Hypothesis The latest observations make the latter idea very unlikely, as our present Universe will almost certainly never cease its expansion. Either we are in the first oscillation of the Universe that failed to stop its expansion, or there were no oscillations prior to this one at all. Unless later observations show that our present conclusions are wrong, there will no oscillations after this Universe. It is difficult to imagine how we could ever determine if our Universe was the first oscillation that failed to end its expansion or if there were simply no oscillations prior to this expansion at all.

Does the Doppler effect only apply to sound waves?

No


What are the advantage and disadvantage of Doppler effect?

Advantage: Doppler effect is used in various fields such as radar technology and astronomy to measure the velocity of objects. In medical imaging, it helps in diagnosing conditions like cardiovascular diseases. Disadvantage: Doppler effect can be influenced by external factors such as background noise or interference, which may lead to inaccuracies in measurements. Additionally, it may be challenging to isolate the desired signal from the background noise in certain applications.

Why do people say the big bang is just a lie of how humans were created?

Because the Big bang theory is a lie. People cant come to terms with the fact they are not the supreme being in the universe, so they attempt to hide the fact of intelligent design with a factless theory which people believe without question. Just a small amount of research will lead you to the truth, Big bang is a lie, and most of Americans have fallen for it.

What is logical explanation for acceleration in expansion rate of the universe?

* The Doppler Effect provides evidence that the universe is expanding. However, the redshift observed may be due to light climbing out of a gravity well (a star). Bigger stars can been seen from further away. Bigger stars have a greater redshift (due to size of the greater gravity well). So maybe the Universe doesn't expand as we were lead to believe? Or maybe it does.
