What is a Theory? Well-established idea that is supported by scientific evidence.Well-established idea that is supported by scientific evidence. Theory statements can be refuted, but not verified, no matter how strongly we believe in the truth of a theory. It is always possible for it to be falsified.Theory statements can be refuted, but not verified, no matter how strongly we believe in the truth of a theory. It is always possible for it to be falsified.

How do we measure distances in space? Astronomical Unit (AU) – average distance between the Earth and the SunAstronomical Unit (AU) – average distance between the Earth and the Sun About 93 million milesAbout 93 million miles Light-year – the distance that light travels in a yearLight-year – the distance that light travels in a year Used to measure distance to stars and galaxiesUsed to measure distance to stars and galaxies Nearest stars are several light-years awayNearest stars are several light-years away

What is Hubble’s Law? Hubble then noticed a correlation between the distance of the galaxies and the speed at which they are moving away from usHubble then noticed a correlation between the distance of the galaxies and the speed at which they are moving away from us The farther away the galaxy,The farther away the galaxy, the faster it is receding (moving away) from the Earth.

So if the universe is expanding, then it must have had a beginning.

What is the Big Bang Theory? Universe formed 12 to 14 billion years agoUniverse formed 12 to 14 billion years ago At “time zero” universe was an explosion of a primeval atom.At “time zero” universe was an explosion of a primeval atom. Temperatures extremely high at beginningTemperatures extremely high at beginning Expanded rapidly, temperatures droppedExpanded rapidly, temperatures dropped Matter formed from original energyMatter formed from original energy

What evidence is there for the Big Bang Theory? Cosmic background radiation: radiation left over from the initial moments of Big Bang spread evenly around the universe.Cosmic background radiation: radiation left over from the initial moments of Big Bang spread evenly around the universe.

Science is an ongoing process - forcing us to test our model through prediction and observation. The more tests it passes, the greater is our confidence in it.Science is an ongoing process - forcing us to test our model through prediction and observation.
