the universe

mas Gold, and Fred Byle. It was called the steady state theory and it argued that the universe never had a beginning and will never end. They said it will always look about the same, and that galaxies appear out of nothing. When Quasars were discovered, this theory was severely crippled. There were more Quasars in 1960 than now which proved change. The discovery of cosmic background radiation and Hawking and Penrose killed the idea of the Steadt State theory.Arno Penzias and Robet Wilson tested a very sensitive microwave detector while looking for sources of microwave radiation which would hinder microwave signals. They picked up more static than anything and did not know where it came from. They eventually found out that it came from all around. The static was the same day and night and throughout the year in all directions. The source of it came from somewhere outside of the galaxy. Radiation is a constant that has moved across all of the observable universe, so the universe must have been the same or roughly the same at one time. This went on to validate Friedmann's models of the universe. Bob Dicke and Jim Peebles worked on the idea that the universe was very hot and dense at the beginning so that it glowed white hot. They said they we should still be able to see this glow from the radiation because it would just be reaching us now. They predicted that the temperature was high during the Big Bang and radiation has Red shifted. Radiation was tested for a planck curve and the results were three Kelvins. All elements will be frozen solid with the exception of helium. The main confirmation of the Big Bang theory is the fact that radiation is isotropic, or uniform in all directions. The universe began homogeneously and symmetrically. Astronomers analyze all the different kinds of radiation to understand why and how we exist. Only microwaves and radio waves make it through the Earth's atmosphere so that is why we launch...
