Lesson 2 - The Steady State Theory Flashcards
It states that the universe has no beginning and no end.
The Steady State Theory
It suggests that the universe has always been here and will always be present.
The Steady State Theory
It also suggests that the universe always looks the same in any time or space, but the universe continuously expands while simultaneously creating matter
The Steady State Theory
The steady state theory was proposed by
Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle
Drawbacks of Steady State Theory
It is is not parallel with the law of conservation of energy and mass
The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation significantly supported the explanations given by the big bang theory and led many scientists to reject the steady state theory
It suggests that the universe is expanding and will contract once all the energy after the big bang has been used up, only to expand again once it approaches the point of singularity.
Oscillating Universe Theory
It is also referred as the pulsating theory.
Oscillating Universe Theory
Who proposed the Oscillating Universe Theory
Richard Tolman
Drawbacks of Oscillating Universe Theory
violate some current laws of physics, such as the postulated existence of dark energy.
