Big Bang Theory
Is it crazy to still not have actual scientific evidence of how space and time was created? It has been billions of years since Earth was made and we still don’t have solid facts. It is harder to find out than most people think. A few factors that influenced this theory is the Universe Expansion, Large Hadron Collider, Hydrogen and Helium, and Cosmic Radiation. These are all factors that have influenced the theory of how the universe was once created.
Edwin Hubble is known as the man that discovered universe expansion. This is also known as “Hubble’s Law”. He was an American astronomer who is regarded as one of the most important cosmologists of the 20th century. ‘Hubble’s Law’ is known for the velocity of a galaxy

The Hadron Collider is the largest particle collider in the world, it was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The Hadron Collider is designed to help physicists discover different theories of particle physics and high-energy physics. It is also used to help boost particles along the way. This is also the longest machine ever built by humankind, in fact it is 27km in circumference and 175m deep at the Franco-Swiss border near Switzerland. Inside of the accelerator two high energy beams travel very fast before they are forced to collide. The accelerator is connected to liquid helium which then helps the magnets cool down after conducting the electricity around. The LHC is the latest in a long tradition of particle accelerators used to explore the building blocks of matter. Did you know that almost 100 years ago, a New Zealand physicist known as Ernest Rutherford revealed the form of the atom by firing alpha particles at a thin gold foil? The LHC is very important to have because it can help scientist understand how the universe
