Big Bang Theory

In this model the Universe:

  • Is expanding
  • Is finite and ever-changing
  • Was created about 14 billion years ago from an event called the Big Bang
  • May have an end, depending on its density

Most scientists believe that the Big Bang Theory is correct, because it explains red shift and cosmic microwave background radiation
