For most cosmologists, the refutation of the steady-state theory came with the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965, which was predicted by the Big Bang theory
The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) in 1965 provided strong evidence for the Big Bang theory, undermining Fred Hoyle's steady state universe model. The CMB was predicted as a remnant of the hot, dense conditions of the early universe, which contradicted the steady state theory's premise that the universe remains constant over time. As a result, the steady state theory lost credibility, leading to a broader acceptance of the Big Bang model among cosmologists.
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.
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.

The Big Bang theory is supported by strong evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation and the observed redshift of galaxies, indicating that the universe is expanding from an initial singularity. In contrast, the steady state theory, which posits a constant density universe with continuous creation of matter, fails to explain these observations and does not account for the uniformity and structure observed in the universe. Additionally, the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 provided a critical piece of evidence that contradicts the steady state model, leading to its decline in favor of the Big Bang theory. Overall, the wealth of empirical data favoring the Big Bang model makes the steady state theory largely untenable in contemporary cosmology.
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.
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.

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.
The steady-state theory is obsolete - it is now known that the Universe does change over time (the Steady-State Theory states that it doesn't). According to the Steady-State Theory, the Universe has no beginning and no end.

# They can't; # What makes you say that the Steady State theory won a Nobel Prize? The Steady State theory is attributable primarily to Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi, none of whom ever won a Nobel Prize (Hoyle arguably should have shared in the 1983 prize for his work on stellar nucleosynthesis, but that was a separate topic and had little to do with steady state theory). (For that matter, the Big Bang theory was proposed by Georges LeMaitre, who also did not win a Nobel Prize; the 1978 prize for physics went to Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation which was considered to be evidence that the Big Bang theory was correct, not for the Big Bang theory itself.)
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.
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.
