The Big Bang theory predicts an expanding universe. The red shift, being the Doppler effect of light when something is receding from you, confirms this because when looking at galaxies the light emitted from them is red shifted. The farther away galaxies have a higher red shift, confirming that all galaxies are moving away from each other, not just the Milky Way (i.e. the universe is expanding).

What states that are between 15 and 20 billion years ago the universe began expanding out of an enormous explosion?

big bang theory


Why does red shift support the big bang theory?

Because if everything we can see is moving away from us, and the further away the faster it's going, if you extrapolate back in time you realize that at some point everything must have been very close together. That's more or less the core of the Big Bang theory. answer2: The Big bang is a bust if there is no expansion , motion! Red shift is interpreted as the motion, thus the Big Bang is possible. However, the red shift is misinterpreted. Hubble himself, did not accept the red shift as recession, rather Hubble called the red shift, "a hitherto unrecognized principle of Nature". The red shift is the indicator of the centrifugal force, associated with the "Dark Energy", the vector energy Ev=mcV. Properly interpreted, the red shift indicates no Expansion, no Big Bang.


Event that marks the beginning of the universe?

Current theory is the Big Bang


What model of universe creation is supported by the red shift?

All modern models based on science that are worth their salt would be. The only major theory I know about the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory, which is supported by Red Shift observations. Galaxies we can observe are all moving away (we know this due to Red Shift) from a central point, believed to be the epicenter of the Big Bang.

No, it's the other way round. The Big Bang is responsible for the redshift.

Red shift caused by the galaxies moving apart.


How is the big bang theory is an example od scienctific theory?

Hello i am minakshi answer is that the big bang theory is an example of old scientific theory as big bang theory explains that there was an explosion but the isotropy and the homogenity of the universe is not explained by big bang theory to explain his we connect inflatation theory with big bang theory to explain it so the big bang theory is also an example of old scientific theory.

What is the natural big bang theory?

I know of no such reference for a "natural" Big Bang Theory. Must be just another way of referring to the Big Bang Theory with a differing focus (i.e. kind of like the Hot Big Bang Theory).
