| | Big Bang - definition of Big Bang in Encyclopedia |
 | | For purposes of evaluating observed violations of faster than light motion, big bang is assumed not to be an explosion but an explosive, true genesis of the universe at a tremendous rate. | | | This problem is resolvable by the addition of cosmic inflation, which critics dismiss as yet another ad hoc addition, constituting further evidence that big bang is a weak theory. | | | Huge advances in Big Bang cosmology were made in the late 1990s and the early 21st century as a result of major advances in telescope technology in combination with large amounts of satellite data such as from COBE and WMAP. |

| | Science and Reason: The Big Bang |
| | This was the first noteworthy appearance of the big bang hypothesis. | | | The big bang theory of the initial state and subsequent development of the universe was originated around 1931 by Georges Lemaître and further developed in the 1940s by George Gamow and his students Ralph Alpher and Robert Herman. | | | the theory of the big bang – the notion that at some point in time about 14 billion years ago (by current reckoning), all matter in the observable universe was in a state of extremely high density and temperature, and subsequently "exploded", resulting in the expansion we still see today. |

| | If the inflationary version of big bang theory is correct, then the amount of dark matter and of whatever else might exist is just enough to bring the universe to the boundary between open and closed. | | | The overall framework of the big bang theory came out of solutions to Einstein’s general relativity field equations and remains unchanged, but various details of the theory are still being modified today. | | | They theorized the universe was very hot at the time of the big bang (the point at which the universe explosively expanded from its primordial state), since elements heavier than hydrogen can be formed only at a high temperature. |

| | OR/MS Today - April 1997 - Robert Herman |
| | As a consequence of their studies in nucleosynthesis in the early expanding big bang universe, they made the first theoretical prediction, in 1948, of the existence of a residual homogeneous isotopic black body radiation (microwave radiation) that pervades the universe, as a vestige of the initial big bang explosion. | | | I think it was a combination of unusual attributes, and among them I would cite three basic loves: the love of human spirit; the love of science and the search for truth; and the love of life. | | | Many of the people who met him described him as "a Renaissance Man." This may be an appropriate label, except that it raises the bar for anyone else aspiring for the same appellation. |

| | The Big Bang was the first event in the universe, the event in which everything has resulted from. | | | For the Big Bang however, there wasn't anything that the universe could explode into because there was nothing there to begin with, "it was space itself that exploded." "By definition, the universe has no boundaries, no edges; it includes everything that exists. | | | The Big Bang was basically a huge explosion that "generated space and time and created all the matter and energy in the universe." (NOVAonline) For many, this explosion is a very hard concept to grasp. |

| | Theories which assert that the universe has an infinite life such as the steady state theory fail to account for the abundance of deuterium in the cosmos, because deuterium easily undergoes nuclear fusion in stars and there are no known astrophysical processes other than the Big Bang itself that can produce it in large quantities. | | | It is assumed by big bang proponents that only big bang could produce deuterium, so any deuterium in a big bang universe must be a result of the big bang, and since deuterium is believed to be rapidly consumed by stars, the age of a big bang universe therefore is finite. | | | While these observations are all consistent with the Big Bang theory, each of them is also consistent with at least one other theory, such as Fred Hoyle 's steady-state universe and Hannes Alfven's plasma universe. |

| | Big Bang is also a history of astronomical observation, describing the development of new telescopes that were crucial to the development of cosmology. | | | The Big Bang theory would have its fair share of opposition, most notably from Fred Hoyle; ironically, it was Hoyle who wound up coming up with the term "Big Bang." The icing on the theoretical cake, however, would come with the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background, an actual remnant from the Big Bang. | | | Fred Hoyle, who coined the term "big bang" as a way to ridicule the idea of a universe expanding from some tiny origin point, strongly believed that the cosmos was in a steady state. |
