Q

Scientific Thoughts

matter is constantly created due to the expansion. Proposed by Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, Sir Fred Hoyle.
- No beginning or end: indefinite age
- Constant creation. Continually replenished in one place and being destroyed elsewhere.
- With the same density of the universe, as new galaxies form, old ones die.
- As galaxy moves apart, matter will be formed that will form new galaxies.

Q

Scientific Thoughts

Proposed by George Lemaitre and Aleksander Friedman. It is the theory that estimated the age of the universe. It is a result of the expansion from a tiny, dense and hot matter. Matter, Energy, Time and Space (METS) was created.
