What is the Big Bang Theory? The big bang theory states the universe began the size of an atom and violently exploded outwards, eventually cooling and creating larger atomic elements.

1. Cosmic Background Radiation (CMB) (original temperature of the universe) CMB is the “after glow” or “leftover heat” from the big bang that spreads in all directions of the universe. The amount of cooling says how far the light has travelled, which determined the age of the universe: 13.82 billion years. 3 K (temperature of the universe now) The distribution of cosmic microwave background radiation extends in all directions of the universe, which verifies predictions of universe cooling from a titanic, rapid expansion. Law of conservation of energy “WHAT EVER HAPPENS IN OUTER SPACE, STAYS IN OUTER SPACE”

2. Redshift of Galaxies RED LIGHT = long wavelength = moving away from observer BLUE LIGHT = short wavelength = moving towards observer Hubble’s Space Telescope (named after Edwin Hubble) was important in determining how fast these galaxies are moving away. Hubble's galaxy redshift observations shows that most galaxies are moving away from each other. What is a wavelength?

3. Mixture of Elements The matter in the universe is about 75% hydrogen & 25% helium. The abundance of lighter elements in the Universe, suggests that these first elements (hydrogen and helium) were formed at the Big Bang and are the precursors for all other elements.
