BIG BANG THEORY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cosmic background radiation supports the big bang because ____ (select two answers)
A
It shows microwaves exist in the universe
B
It shows large amounts of energy were released in all directions
C
It shows where matter originally came from
D
It shows that energy is distributed relatively evenly across the universe.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -CMBR is a second piece of evidence to show the expansion of space, and this supports the Big Bang model of the origin of the Universe. The short wavelengths of the gamma radiation emitted in the initial explosion are believed to have become stretched due to the expansion of space into longer wavelength microwaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Its discovery and detailed observations of its properties are considered one of the major confirmations of the Big Bang. The discovery (by chance in 1965) of the cosmic background radiation suggests that the early universe was dominated by a radiation field, a field of extremely high temperature and pressure.
