Another explanation for the Universe it the Steady State Hypothesis. The Steady State Hypothesis says that the Universe has always existed and is infinite in extent. Which of the following support the Big Bang Theory and which support the Steady State Model.
(Select B-Big Bang Theory, S-Steady State Model, If the first is B and the rest S, enter
BSSSSS).
A) The measurement of the microwave background radiation.
B) A measurement that shows the density of the Universe is close to the critical density.
C) The measurement of redshifts that show galaxies appear to be moving away from each other and the Universe is expanding.
D) Observing that galaxies at very large distances look identical to those in the nearby universe.
E) An observation that some globular clusters show M-type stars that have evolved off the main sequence.
A]
Measurement of the microwave background radiation suggests that the big bang model is correct as the highly energetic light emerging from the time scales of the big bang have now reached us as low energy microwaves.
B] A universe with critical density is said to be flat and it is the density required by the universe to halt its expansion. Therefore, this validates the Steady-State model.
C] The redshifted galaxies support the big bang model since the expanding universe implies that the universe has expanded from something smaller hence implying an event like big bang.
D] Observing that the galaxies at very large scales look identical everywhere implies that the density of the universe has not changed hence supporting the steady-state model.
E] M-type Stars in a globular cluster indicates a big bang model.
therefore, the answer is: BSBSB.
