The big bang theory that we know today has been refined over a 100 years as advancements in technology have improved and ideas have been proven or disproven with the aid of the scientific community and scientific evidence. The Big Bang theory is widely accepted amongst scientists today. The theory breaks down the origins of the universe and how the universe came into existence. The main premise of the Big Bang theory is that the universe was formed through a period of rapid inflation and expansion that resulted in an explosion of energy known as the Big Bang. Over time scientists have discovered evidence that supports the claims of the theory. Evidence has been replicated by scientific communities at the time of different discorvers ensuring …show more content…
Using research that Albert Einstein had already conducted Lemaitre was able to form a basis for his new theory of an expanding universe. This idea only gained attention in 1929 when Edwin Hubble published definite findings that the universe was expanding. At this point in time many scientists and organisations were having their say on the theory. Like previously mentioned Edwin Hubble had discovered that the our universe was ever panding, backing up Lemaitre's theory with evidence. As the scientific community began to agree with the theory and replicate the results Edwin Hubble presented they began to accept the theory. British scientist Arthur eddington even published Lemaitre's theory further exposing his ideas. Then at a meeting in London Lemaitre spoke of another key concept that makes up the Big Bang theory we know today, the universe expanded from an initial point. The idea wasn’t automatically accepted by the scientific community with scientists like Einstein stating that the physics behind the theory was abominable. However as Lemaitre's theory continued to be shared many did start to accept it and as more supporting evidence was discovered like CMRC, more and more scientists began to theorize that a big bang was what led to the creation of the …show more content…
The scientific community at the time were replicating Hubble's results and finding the same information. This led many scientists to agree that the universe was expanding. Hubble won the 1,000 dollar prize for the best scientific paper competition that was being held by the American association for the advancement of science. With this leading to Hubble's findings being exposed to a larger audience, many in the scientific community began to believe the Big Bang
