21. Three important observations 1.The expansion of the Universe.  Hubble: galaxies are receding. 1st evidence 2. The abundance of light elements (H, He, Li)  B.Bang theory predicts these elements should have been fused from protons and neutrons in the first few minutes after the Big Bang. 3. Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation The early universe should have been very hot. The CMB radiation is the remnant heat leftover from the Big Bang.

23. Big Bang Timeline We are here

24. Common Misconceptions The Big Bang was an explosion. The Big Bang was an explosion. The universe began as a point. The universe began as a point. The universe is expanding into “something” and we are at the center of the expansion. The universe is expanding into “something” and we are at the center of the expansion. Galaxies are “flying away” in space. Galaxies are “flying away” in space.

25. Predictions of a Big Bang Universe Every point is receding away from every other point. Every point seems to be at the center of an expanding universe. Every point is receding away from every other point. Every point seems to be at the center of an expanding universe. The farther away something is, the faster it is receding (unlike an explosion). The farther away something is, the faster it is receding (unlike an explosion). Farther away  looks redder (Doppler effect) Farther away  looks redder (Doppler effect) Relationship is linear: twice as far  receding twice as fast. Relationship is linear: twice as far  receding twice as fast. I: Hubble’s Law
