The Steady State Hypothesis fails to explain the existence of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation; or to adequately explain the ratio of hydrogen to helium in all parts of our Universe. Big Bang Cosmology successfully explains the existence, isotropy, and spectrum of the CMBR, as well as the universal ratio of hydrogen to helium.

In addition, if our Universe has been in an eternal steady state, then we would see

1) quasars at all distances from us. We don't; we only see them far away.

2) white dwarf stars older than 12 billion years. Again, we don't.

3) more abundant decay products of long-life isotopes. We don't; the ratios never show any age of such isotopes greater than about 10 billion years.

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 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.


How did the discovery of quasars disprove the steady state theory?

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.


What is the basic concept of the steady state theory why it failed and its lapses?

universe was not created and cannot be distroyed is the main concept of steady state theory. it was not able to tell following things; 1.why galaxies are moving. 2.it said that new galaxies form between old galaxies.but it is not seen till today.


How did Fred hoyle regard the big bang theory?

Fred Hoyle was a proponent of the steady-state theory of the universe and was critical of the Big Bang theory. He famously likened the Big Bang theory to a "Big Bang" creation event and continued to advocate for his steady-state theory even after evidence supporting the Big Bang theory emerged.

Who is the Author of the Steady State Theory?

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.


How long has the universe existed going by the Steady State Theory?

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.


Which theory states that the universe has always exitsted as it is now?

steady state theory


Who discover steady state theory?

Fred Hoyle.


Evedince supporting the steady state theory?

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.


What theory competed with the Big Bang theory for awhile as an explanation for the expansion of the universe?

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.


What is the explanation for the steady state theory?

The Steady State theory states that matter is produced in the universe at a continuous rate, so that the universe stays constant throughout space and time. It is no longer an accepted theory in much of the scientific community.

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.


What is the steady star theory?

I think you mean the steady state theory. This is the idea that new matter is constantly being created as the universe expands. We now have evidence that the big bang theory is a far more likely one.
