Edwin Hubble, using the Hubble telescope, is credited with the discovery that the distances to far away galaxies were generally proportional to their redshifts (as in the doppler effect); an idea which was originally predicted by Lemaître in 1927. Hubble's observation was taken to indicate that all very distant galaxies and clusters have an apparent velocity directly away from our vantage point: the farther away, the higher the apparent velocity.

Other supportive evidence for the big bang Theory - Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation has been discovered and it is suggested that this has been left over from the Big Bang and galactic clusters are still moving away from each other at an ever increasing acceleration.

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 are the three main pieces of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory?

The three main pieces of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory are the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements in the universe, and the redshift of galaxies.


Is the big bang a theory or a hypothesis?

The Big Bang is a theory in cosmology that explains the origin and evolution of the universe, supported by a significant amount of observational evidence. It is not a hypothesis, as a hypothesis is an initial explanation to be tested and either supported or rejected based on evidence.
