Edwin Hubble provided the first astronomical evidence that LeMaitre was correct.

The Big Bang theory was proposed by Belgian priest and physicist Georges Lemaître in 1927. He suggested that the universe began as a single point and has been expanding ever since.
Isaac Newton lived before the big bang theory was proposed; it was developed in the 20th century by scientists such as Georges Lemaitre and Edwin Hubble. Therefore, there is no record of Newton's thoughts on the big bang theory as it did not exist during his lifetime.
The history of the Big Bang theory began with the Big Bang's development from observations and theoretical considerations. Much of the theoretical work in cosmology now involves extensions and refinements to the basic Big Bang model.
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.
Scientists estimate that the Big Bang occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago based on observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation. This radiation is considered the afterglow of the Big Bang and provides valuable information about the early universe.
The theory that suggests for every big bang there is a crunch is known as the "Big Crunch" theory. It proposes that the expansion of the universe will eventually stop and reverse, leading to a contraction of the universe back to a singular point, followed by another big bang.
