The steady state theory was disproved by observations in the sense that at larger distances, the Universe doesn't look the same as nearby. This means the Universe has changed over time, directly contradicting the main assumption of the steady state theory. - I am not sure to what extent quasars were involved, but quasars do tend to show up more frequently at greater distances, i.e., in the early Universe.

Which theory lost its appeal when astronomers discovered quasars and cosmic background radiation?

The steady state theory lost its appeal when astronomers discovered quasars and cosmic background radiation. This theory posited that the universe was eternal and unchanging on a large scale, but the detection of quasars indicated a dynamic universe with active galactic phenomena. Additionally, the discovery of cosmic background radiation provided strong evidence for the Big Bang theory, suggesting a specific origin point for the universe's expansion, contrary to the steady state concept.


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.

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.

What Louis Pasteur discovered in physics?

Louis Pasteur was a chemist and biologist, not a physicist. He is known for his work in microbiology, including the discovery of the principles of vaccination and pasteurization. His experiments also helped disprove the theory of spontaneous generation.

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.

How theory and research have a symbiotic relationship?

If one has a theory, one can conduct research to prove or disprove the theory ... and if one conducts research, the knowledge gained can lead to formulation of new theories, which research can prove or disprove and lead to new theories which can be researched ... prove or disprove and lead to new theories which can be researched ... prove or disprove and lead to new theories which can be researched ...

What is a good point and bad point about the big bang theory and the steady state theory?

"Big Bang theory": * It is currently one of the better models that can account for what we observe as an expanding universe. * In order to account for some aspects of the size of the universe, we have to make some assumptions about the speed of light that do not seem to hold in the world as we now know it; in the first few moments after the 'big bang' light may have been able to travel at a velocity much greater than c. "Steady State Theory" * It was a widely held belief for centuries. * Current evidence seems to completely disprove the 'steady state' theory.
