About The Big Bang

Anywhere from 10 to 20 billion years ago the universe was created. A believed cosmic explosion was said to have occurred, come to be known as the Big Bang. In 1927, George Lemaître, a Belgian priest was the first to postulate that the universe began with the explosion of a primary atom. His prediction was proven by Edwin Hubble, which led the basis of what came to be known as the Big Bang Theory. Initially, this theory explained why distant galaxies are travelling at high speeds. The theory also was made to include the existence of background radiation With Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovery this radiation, there was strong support and proof for the theory. They later won the Nobel Prize for their discovery.

The Big Bang theory further describes the universe from birth, till present. It includes activities of subatomic particles, and how more complex atoms and molecules came to be. Although there is evidence, observations and logic that prove the theory, there are some noted flaws with it. Nonetheless, it is just one way to describe the creation of our universe.
