What does the Big Bang Theory suggest about the beginning of the universe?

• The universe has been contracting into a single point

• The universe has been in a steady state

• All of its matter and energy were condensed into a single point which then expanded

• The universe was always as it is now, without any beginning

How does a Digital Signal transmit information?

• By modifying the amplitude or frequency of a continuous signal

• By using a continuous wave of varying frequencies

• By using a discontinuous code of 1's and 0's

• By changing the color of light emitted
