  2. Cosmic microwave background - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background

    The CMB is landmark evidence of the Big Bang theory for the origin of the universe. In the Big Bang cosmological models, during the earliest periods, the universe was filled with an opaque fog of dense, hot plasma of sub-atomic particles. As the universe expanded, this plasma cooled to the point where protons and electrons combined to form ...

  3. Big Bang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

    Brane cosmology models, in which inflation is due to the movement of branes in string theory; the pre-Big Bang model; the ekpyrotic model, in which the Big Bang is the result of a collision between branes; and the cyclic model, a variant of the ekpyrotic model in which collisions occur periodically. In the latter model the Big Bang was preceded ...

  4. Lambda-CDM model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model

    The "Big Bang" scenario, with cosmic inflation and standard particle physics, is the only cosmological model consistent with the observed continuing expansion of space, the observed distribution of lighter elements in the universe (hydrogen, helium, and lithium), and the spatial texture of minute irregularities (anisotropies) in the CMB radiation.

  5. Observational cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_cosmology

    It is a prediction of the Big Bang model that the universe is filled with a neutrino background radiation, analogous to the cosmic microwave background radiation. The microwave background is a relic from when the universe was about 380,000 years old, but the neutrino background is a relic from when the universe was about two seconds old.

  6. Cosmogony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmogony

    The Big Bang theory, which explains the Evolution of the Universe from a hot and dense state, is widely accepted by physicists. In astronomy, cosmogony is the study of the origin of particular astrophysical objects or systems, and is most commonly used in reference to the origin of the universe, the Solar System, or the Earth–Moon system.

    Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz said she felt "joy" over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson -- doubling down on her unsettling defense of the gruesome execution which ...

  8. History of the Big Bang theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Big_Bang_theory

    The history of the Big Bang theory began with the Big Bang's development from observations and theoretical considerations. Much of the theoretical work in cosmology now involves extensions and refinements to the basic Big Bang model. The theory itself was originally formalised by Father Georges Lemaître in 1927. [1]
