The changing of the season's.

The Big Bang model predicts the following:

(1) The expansion of space-time and hence the fact that galaxies all appear to be receding from each other (the Red Shift)

(2) The observed microwave background emission, seen uniformly in every direction (it is the residual radiation from the explosion)

(3) The relative abundances of light elements, i.e. hydrogen, helium, deuterium

Interestingly, these three disparate phenomena were all predicted and observed independently, thus providing very strong support for the model.

So far there has been no evidence proving a mechanisnm describing how matter can spontaneously form into atomic structures with specific intherent characterists.
We are basically observing the expansion of Time in the volume of space.
Entropy is is an indication of temperature energy increase in the Universe.
The observed temperature of the Universe has been determined as 2.73 K.
Does the Big Bang theory content with the laws of thermodynamics and the pressure of the substance of space? It is difficult to determine. Since the Theory is just a theory, Observational evidence does noit always prove a Theory.

The microwave background radiation we can detect from everywhere in the universe, and the fact that galaxy's are moving apart is major evidence for the Big Bang.

typing.. firstly, Edwin Hubble in 1927 got here upon what we usually communicate with as pink-gentle shift. Its really the Doppler result yet in starlight. If a celeb is transferring remote from us then the gentle will have a tendency to stretch out into the pink spectrum, if its transferring in the route of us it would want to shift in the route of blue. no longer in difficulty-free words can this be used to appropriately tell if stars are transferring away, yet you'll also be certain how right now and in the experience that they are rushing up or slowing down. What Hubble got here upon changed into that very virtually all stars and galaxies the position accelerating remote from a difficulty-free factor. This bring about the top that the universe changed into increasing. for the reason that all of us understand the universe is increasing that signifies that it had to start up someplace. when we glance at distant galaxies, tens of millions of sunshine years away, we are extremely searching at historic gentle, it stood to reason that some remnant of the great bang might want to nevertheless be observable and it changed into anticipated it extremely is might want to be interior the kind of radio-waves because the electromagnetic radiation were stretched out into that spectrum. that is strictly what changed into got here upon... cosmic historic past radiation, the glow from the start of the universe. Your can see it your self on your television as static.

The ever increasing distances between galaxies, evidenced by the red-shift of the spectrum lines of their light.
Some residual background radiation in space.

the overall temature of space is the same throughout the universe, if the universe was a steady state then their would be a different temp throughout the universe
