I want to know when was the first time that the Big Bang theory was seriously announced. please just tell me the year.
thank you.

Your question leaves the answer open to several interpretations.

If you want to know when the term Big Bang was first used in print, that was in 1950....the term was derisively coined by Fred Hoyle.... Hoyle proposed a "steady state" universe theory.

In 1791, Erasmus Darwin gave the first description of a universe that expanded and contracted in a cyclic manner.

In 1927, the Belgian Catholic priest Georges Lemaître made one of the first modern proposition of the occurrence the Big Bang theory for the origin of the universe, although he called it his "hypothesis of the primeval atom". (this might be the answer you're looking for - Georges Lemaître is credited with proposing the theory that became known as The Big Bang Theory :))

In 1929, Edwin Hubble provided an observational basis for Lemaître's theory. Hubble discovered a redshift of galaxies.

What happened in the previous the super bang is unknown, besides the undeniable fact that, there are some hypothesis (techniques that have not got any empirical evidence). One is that there is a few thing outdoors the generic universe commonly stated as the multiverse. interior the multiverse there are issues transferring around stated as branes. on each occasion and everywhere the branes touch a huge bang happens. that is between the techniques extrapolated from the mathematics of the generic universe. despite if it is so, then there could be a limiteless style of universes. Google brane theory-massive bang for greater techniques.

The Big Bang theory was first proposed in 1927 by Georges Lemaître, though he called it the "hypothesis of the primeval atom". A couple of years later, Edwin Hubble reported that galaxies were receding from us at speeds proportional to their distance, which supported Lemaître's theory. In 1948, George Gamow predicted the cosmic microwave background radiation as evidence of the Big Bang. The name "Big Bang" didn't come about until 1949, when Fred Hoyle, an opponent of Lemaître's and Gamow's theory, referred to it derisively as "this 'big bang' idea".

I don't know the exact year, but it has been around for a while. When Edwin Hubble noted the red shift (which I think was in the 1920's), it was obvious that working the math backwards would lead to a time of initially high concentration.
