What are two important pieces of evidence we have for the Big Bang?

• Ptolemy’s work on epicycles and Hubble’s law (the expansion of the Universe)

• Doppler Effect (the redshifting of the Universe) and cosmic background radiation

• The fact that we have multiple Universes to compare and study and cosmic background radiation (CBR)

• The abundance of hydrogen, helium, and lithium found in the Universe and Ptolemy’s work on epicycles

Define the Doppler Effect

• As sound gets closer to you, it gets louder, the wavelengths get shorter and more frequent.

• As sound gets closer to you, it gets quieter, the wavelengths get longer and less frequent.

• As sound gets closer to you, it gets louder, the wavelengths get longer and more frequent.

• As sound gets closer to you, it gets quieter, the wavelengths get shorter and less frequent.
