The Big Bang theory
Concept of Big Bang
The Big Bang theory was made so that it can explain the occurrences to what led to the
beginning of our universe (Bednarek, 2012). There are several discoveries in astronomy and
physics proving that the universe had a beginning and prior to that, there was no universe. This
Big Bang theory is plausible because it comes out clearly to explain what happened before and
after the universe came to existence. There are many evidence today to support the theory despite
the misconceptions it might come with.
First if we consider Hubble’s law, which claims that galaxies appeared to be moving
apart from one another at speeds that is proportional to their distance (Dunlop, 2012). This law
supports the argument about the expansion of the universe and also it is clear that the universe
was compacted. In addition, everything got a beginning and for sure the universe had a
beginning. The cosmic microwave background radiation with high heat is another prove to the
big bang theory since it suggests that the universe was very hot initially. Finally, hydrogen and
helium which are the light elements are found in the universe and their abundance supports the
big bang theory. Hence, the Big Bang theory is plausible.
Events of Big Bang that led to present future
According to my point of view, the big bang is not an explosion as insinuated by the
name of the theory “bang” suggests but instead, it is an appearance of space in each place of the
universe. The universe came to existence as a very hot, dense and single point universe. The age
of the universe as stated by NASA who launched Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
(WMAP) in 2001 is about 13.7 billion years old ("Big Bang Theory", 2018). From the events,
