Who called the big bang the big bang?

Answer 1

answ2. The Big Bang in which our universe was created was about 13.7x109 years ago.

It was not a bang, for there was no atmosphere.

It was not bright, for atoms may have taken as long as 100x106 years to form. And then electrons could drop down in their orbit and emit light.

It was named the Big Bang by Fred Hoyle.

We know that the universe is expanding, and reversing the timeline of this expansion, all the things would have been together at 13.7x109 years ago.

Our Solar System is about 4.5x109 years old, and was formed from the explosion of a super nova. This has the energy to create the elements we have.

A sun like ours cannot manufacture elements heavier than iron.

Folk who study nucleosynthesis have determined this.

Answer 2

The person who came up with the phrase was likely Fred Hoyle, who was a believer in the Steady-State theory and was using it as a mildly derogatory description of a competing theory. However, it was memorable, and it caught on.

Answer 3

The term "big bang" was coined by astronomer Fred Hoyle during a radio broadcast in 1949. Initially meant as a derogatory term to describe the theory of the universe's rapid expansion from a singular point, the term ended up becoming widely accepted.
