Big Bang Theory
What is a Theory?
•Our best
understanding is
•13.7
•billion years old.
Who first proposed the Big
Bang?
• Lemaître’s proposal
came after observing
the red shift in distant
nebulas by
astronomers.
Red Shift
• Red shift
•indicates objects
moving away from
• an observer.
Red Shift
• In 1929,
• Edwin Hubble
• found experimental evidence
to help justify Lemaître's
theory and confirm the
redshifts.

Whirlpool Galaxy
Evidence for the Big Bang
• In addition the
• cosmic microwave background
radiation,
• which is the leftover heat from
• the Big Bang is called the CMB.
Foundations of the
Big Bang Model
•Expansion
•The Light Elements
•The CMB
Confirmation of the Theory
• The Cosmic
Background
Radiation is
microwave
radiation found in
all parts of the
sky.
Cosmic Background Radiation
• The color
changes are due
to only
0.1 degrees of
temperature
difference.
What Does This Mean?
• No, if we could be on
another galaxy we would
see the same thing,
everything would be
moving away from that
galaxy.
The Center?
• Everything can be
considered to be at the
center of the Universe,
according to your
perspective.
Reversing Time
• Astrophysicists do not
know the proper physics
to describe the
beginning exactly, but
have some ideas.
What was it like?
• As energy converted to
matter, antimatter was also
created.
• This antimatter and matter
collided, giving back
energy to the system.
Matter in the Universe
• As the Universe
continued to expand,
the temperature cooled.
4 Seconds of Time
•25 % helium
75 % hydrogen
30 Minutes of Time
•25 % helium
75 % hydrogen
300,000 years
• At 379,000 years
• from the Big Bang,
• the Universe had cooled
enough for it to become
transparent and light could
escape.
• Before this time, no light could
escape.
300,000 years
• As the Universe
continued to expand, the
glow of the Big Bang
had faded so it became
dark.
Dark Age
• Eventually, matter
coalesced from nebulas
of dust and gas to form
stars.
• These stars had no
metals in them.
First Stars
•Something must be
causing the Universe to
go faster.
What Causes This Acceleration?
• is only
•4% visible matter,
• dark matter about 30%, and
dark energy about 66%.
Will the Universe keep
expanding?
