| | Big Bang - definition of Big Bang in Encyclopedia |
 | | While it is often proposed that the Big Bang theory destroys the concept of god, giving boost to atheism, the view is insubstantial, arising from a limited Western scope of knowledge of the various religions of the world, primarily concerned with the Christian theory of creation. | | | As an example, Jewish and Christian students of Kabbalah, deism and other non-anthropomorphic faiths concord with the Big Bang theory, notably the theory of "divine retraction" (Tzim-tzum), as explained notably by Jewish Scholar Moses Maimoinides. | | | While the theory of Big Bang is certainly a slap in the face of a very basic, exoterical and strictly literary understanding of Christian creationism, there are systems of belief that remain virtually untouched by a conflict of science and religion stemming from the theory (see First cause). |

| | Thus, many accepted scientific theories of our time — including the theory of evolution (Thagard, 131 ff), plate tectonics (Thagard, 157 ff), the Big Bang (a term originally chosen by Fred Hoyle to poke fun at the idea), and quantum mechanics — were criticized by some as being pseudo-scientific when they were first proposed. | | | Certain theories cannot be proven false under any circumstance, for example, the theory that God created the universe. | | | String theory has been criticized for being unfalsifiable; it may be termed a protoscience rather than a pseudoscience because it is conceivable and even probable that with further work it will have a sufficiently clear structure to become scientifically verifiable. |

| | Since string theory is really a theory of Creation, when all its beautiful symmetries were in their full glory, the only way to test it, the critics wail, is to re-create the Big Bang itself, which is impossible. | | | Not surprisingly, the theory is a radical, “crazy” departure from the past, being based on tiny strings vibrating in 10 dimensional space-time. | | | The key point is this: if the theory can be solved non- perturbatively using pure mathematics, then it should reduce down at low energies to a theory of ordinary protons, electrons, atoms, and molecules, for which there is ample experimental data. |

| | 'Theory of everything' tying researchers up in knots |
| | The result, they said, would be a grand unifying "theory of everything," which could explain everything from the nature of matter to the Big Bang to the fate of the cosmos. | | | That's because string theory is the only existing hypothesis that holds serious promise of merging the two grandest branches of physics-- the theory of gravity, the basis of cosmological theory; and quantum mechanics, the science of the subatomic realm, Schwarz says. | | | While the theory is worth developing and is a "very interesting attempt to address the fundamental open problems of physics," he says, "so far it is only an attempt, (one) that has delivered less than what was expected some years ago," and "its uncritical promotion is damaging to science." |

| | Young earth creationists, I gather, insist the Big Bang theory is false, because it involves a creation that occurred 17.5 billion years ago or so, not several thousand, as some people read the Bible to reveal. | | | Though much of his exposition of biological theory is just that, sometimes he indulges in purely ideological posturing; science classes should not be used to propagandize against religion. | | | You can imagine that if various ancient Greek religions had survived, they might view the atomic theory of matter as heresy, for example. |

| | Encyclopedia article on Big Bang [EncycloZine] |
| | Theories which assert that the universe has an infinite life such as the steady state theory fail to account for the abundance of deuterium in the cosmos, because deuterium easily undergoes nuclear fusion in stars and there are no known astrophysical processes other than the Big Bang itself that can produce it in large quantities. | | | While these observations are all consistent with the Big Bang theory, each of them is also consistent with at least one other theory, such as Fred Hoyle 's steady-state universe and Hannes Alfven's plasma universe. | | | The Big Bang theory predicts that at some point, the matter in the universe was hot and dense enough to prevent light from flowing freely in space. |

| | Science and Reason: The Big Bang |
| | The big bang theory of the initial state and subsequent development of the universe was originated around 1931 by Georges Lemaître and further developed in the 1940s by George Gamow and his students Ralph Alpher and Robert Herman. | | | the theory of the big bang – the notion that at some point in time about 14 billion years ago (by current reckoning), all matter in the observable universe was in a state of extremely high density and temperature, and subsequently "exploded", resulting in the expansion we still see today. | | | One consequence of the homogeneity condition is that the big bang event (if such existed, which isn't in fact absolutely required in all versions of the model) didn't happen at one particular point in space. |

This one gets the most space, perhaps since the idea of a beginning (particularly a violent beginning) to the Universe seems to trouble many nonscientists (and even some scientists). |

| | The Big Bang theory would have its fair share of opposition, most notably from Fred Hoyle; ironically, it was Hoyle who wound up coming up with the term "Big Bang." The icing on the theoretical cake, however, would come with the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background, an actual remnant from the Big Bang. | | | Fred Hoyle, who coined the term "big bang" as a way to ridicule the idea of a universe expanding from some tiny origin point, strongly believed that the cosmos was in a steady state. | | | This book is mis-titled; it does not delve into a chronology of the occurrence of the Big Bang event itself, as it is currently understood by scientists, but rather a historical overview of the scientific effort that resulted in the theory. |

| | Steady state theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In cosmology, the steady state theory (also known as the "Infinite Universe Theory") is a model developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others as a non-standard cosmology to the Big Bang theory (known, usually, as the standard cosmological model). | | | It is also the basis for another theory known as the quasi-steady state theory which postulates a lot of little big bangs occurring over time. | | | For most cosmologists, the refutation of the steady-state theory came with the discovery of the cosmic background radiation in 1965, which was predicted by the big bang theory. |

| | Cosmology & the big bang |
| | The modern big bang theory does not state that a concentrated lump of matter located at a particular point in space suddenly exploded, sending fragments rushing away at high speed, but that space itself came into being at the moment of the big bang. | | | Indeed, the big bang theory predicts that galactic magnetic fields should be weaker the more distant the galaxy and the younger it is in relation to the big bang, but observational evidence contradicts this prediction [6]. | | | If extragalactic redshifts were caused purely by recession velocities, as in the big bang theory, or if they were caused purely by light losing energy as it travels through space, as in the tired-light theory, then redshifts should always be proportional to distance. |

| | Non standard cosmology |
| | While non-standard models, including the steady-state theory, often have explanations for phenomenon for observations such as cosmic microwave background, which is seen asresidual radiation from old stars, most cosmologists as of 2004, believe that the big bang theory provides a more coherent viewof the universe that more closely fits observations. | | | These observations combinedwith observations of big bang nucleosynthesis andother evidence suggesting that the universe was evolving caused most cosmologists to favor the Big Bang theory over the steady statetheory. | | | While there are a number of observations which are notcurrently explained well by big bang cosmologies, the prevailing opinion among cosmologists is that these observations can beincorporated within a big bang cosmology without major changes to the foundations of the theory. |
