The Red Queen theory is based on a reference to Lewis Carrol's book through the looking glass. The red queen has to run just to stay in place and to move she has to run twice as fast, this is metaphor for species reproduction and the statement Survival of the fittest. Each new generation takes the best chromosomes and adapts them to their own, making for improvements.

What theory does red shift support?

Red shift supports the theory of the expanding universe proposed by Edwin Hubble. The observed red shift in the spectra of distant galaxies indicates that they are moving away from us, providing evidence for the idea that the universe is continuously growing and expanding.


How might the redshift indicate there is evidence for the big bang theory?

The redshift of galaxies is evidence for the Big Bang theory because it shows that the universe is expanding. When light from distant galaxies is redshifted, it means that those galaxies are moving away from us, indicating that the universe is getting larger and supporting the idea that everything originated from a single point in a massive explosion.


What is the supernova of a red dwarf?

According to prevailing astronomical theory, red dwarfs do not become supernovae, so the best answer to the question is "nonexistant."


What word supports the theory that the universe is expanding?

Theories explain evidence. There is considerable evidence our universe is expanding. The primary evidence is the red shift of the light from distant galaxies. The further a galaxy is from our local group, the more the light is shifted towards the infrared end of the spectrum. The theory of General Relativity also predicts our universe should be expanding.


How did the Doppler effect lead to the Big Bang theory?

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.
