BIG BANG THEORY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Red shifts are NOT evidence of the big bang.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A wide range of empirical evidence strongly favors the Big Bang event, which is now essentially universally accepted. Detailed measurements of the expansion rate of the universe place the Big Bang singularity at an estimated 13.787±0.020 billion years ago, which is considered the age of the universe.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. Actually a blue shift would be evidence of a contracting universe. The red shift is the evidence of the big bang and an expanding universe.
