THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE, BING BANG

AND COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND

 The expanding universe was first put by Edwin Hubble in 1929.
It is based on distance measurements of galaxies, and determination of
their velocities by the Doppler shift of spectra lines in the light received
from them.
 The sun is in the

HUBBLE’S LAW center of all

orbits

There are
smaller planets
The dominant motion in the universe is the
closer to thesunsmooth expansion known
as Hubble's Law.
There is a mix of
 v= Hd where:
planet sizes
further away
 v is the observed velocity of the galaxy away from us, usually in
km/sec
 H is Hubble's "constant", in km/sec/Mpc
 d is the distance to the galaxy in Mpc

 Hubble's law is considered the first observational basis for

the expansion of the universe and today serves as one of the pieces
of evidence most often cited in support of the Big Bang model.
The cosmological principle is the notion that the spatial distribution of
matter in the universe is homogeneous and isotropic when viewed on a large
enough scale, since the forces are expected to act uniformly throughout the
universe, and should, therefore, produce no observable irregularities in the
large-scale structuring over the course of evolution of the matter field that
was initially laid down by the Big Bang.
 THE BIG BANG
 The universe began about 13,7 billion years ago as an expansion from
a state of a very high density and temperature known affectionately
as the Big Bang.
 The Big Bang was not an explosion, instead, it was the start of an
expansion of space itself .
 A major piece of evidence supporting the Big Bang is the cosmic microwave
background radiation.
 The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is thought to be leftover radiation
from the Big Bang, or the time when the universe began. As the theory goes,
when the universe was born it underwent a rapid inflation and expansion.
(The universe is still expanding today, and accelerating for unknown reasons).
The CMB represents the heat left over from the Big Bang.
 You can't see the CMB with your naked eye, but it is everywhere in the
universe.
