The Origin of the Universe

What is the big bang theory?

• A theory that states that the universe started in a large mass and then imploded to form everything.

• A theory that states that the universe was there, will be and is there. Is homogeneous and isotropic.

• A theory that states that the universe is slowly coming back to a center.

• A theory that states that the universe started in a small mass and then expanded, the expansion cooled down the temperature and that resulted in the formation of matter, energy, space and time.

It was the model used to explain the formation and evolution of the solar system.

• Nebular Hypothesis

• Big Bang Theory

• Steady State Theory

• Tidal Theories

In both theories, a star is supposedly passed close to the sun. The gravitational pull of the passing star raised tides found on the surface of the sun.

• Planetesimal Theory

• Tidal Theory

• Big bang theory

• Nebular hypothesis
