what is the original name of big bang theory??

In 1927, the Belgian Catholic priest Georges Lemaître independently derived the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker equations from Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity and proposed, on the basis of the recession of spiral nebulae, that the universe began with the "explosion" of a "primeval atom"—what was later called the Big Bang.

The information that comes from this probe is helping to confirm what is believed to be the origins of the universe and the Big Bang Theory.\n\nThe WMAP mission reveals conditions as they existed in the early universe by measuring the properties of the cosmic microwave background radiation over the full sky.\n\nThis microwave radiation was released approximately 380,000 years after the birth of the universe. WMAP creates a picture of the microwave radiation using temperature difference measured from opposite directions (anisotropy).

Really funny because really it was Adam & Steve everyone with any sense knows that, they had the first  marriage and it was a Gay one. It's true! \nThey also discovered the big bang!

You misunderstand the Big Bang theory. The universe did not start from a big ball of matter. For the first 10-34 seconds we simply don't have the physcis figured out as to what happened. There are many conjectures, though.\n\nThe first difficulty is that General Relativity predicts something called a singularity at the Big Bang. A singularity is something like what you see at the north pole. There is no 'north of the north pole' simply because the coordinate system can't be extended that way. Under General Relativity, there is no 'before the Big Bang' because thw time coordinate cannot be extended past that point. Remember that time itself is part of the structure of the universe, so time began when the universe did (in this view).\n\nAnother view is obtained through quantum mechanics. We know that modern vacuums are never completely empty. They are a blur of particles apperaring and disappearing all the time. The state of having absolutely nothing is actually a very high energy state. When that state decayed into a lower energy state, that provided the energy that subsequently became the matter we see around us. In this scenario, the singularity predicted by relativity is blurred out by the quantum effects, but the net result is that all the matter literally came out of a vacuum. This is possible without violating conservation of energy because the vacuum state 'befroe the Big Bang' had a higher energy than all the matter we see around us.\n\nAnother possibility is a 'bouncing universe' where the universe goes through cycles of collapse and expansion. The collapse before the current cycle provided the energy for the current one. There are modifications to this where 'universes' bud off of the vacuums of other ones.\n\nAll of this is highly speculative. However, we do know that a Big Bang is how things got started about 13.7 billion years ago. We see the afterglow of the hot, dense time at the beginning all around us in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CBE).

That is the original name.

I think that the big bang theory is flawed. It was theorized and believed by humans who just refuse to fathom infinity. Its based on the premise that everything has a beginning and an end. Greater enlightenment points to every ending is a new beginning. I think you're right, the little bangs theory makes more sense. And I will take it one step further, that these little bangs are the other black holes (assuming there are two kinds) where matter comes from another place not in this universe, a negative image of this universe. And everything in this universe is headed towards one of these (as yet undiscovered) black holes to be pushed out (bang) into the alter universe.

The Big Bang  is by far and away the most accepted theory as to the origins of the Universe. I would say that 90% of all cosmologists and astronomers subscribe to it.\n  This much we know as FACT: in 1964 two guys working for Bell Labs, named Penzias and Wilson, accidently detected white noise in outer space. This static was later found to be background residue leftover from the Big Bang. FACT: All galaxies are moving away from us; this is known by the color of "shift" they emit, due to the Doppler effect. a red shift indicates something is receding. The further out they are, the faster they move. This is known as the Hubble Constant.\n  So: we know there was a huge explosion that has caused everything to scatter, and we can determine age from gas spectography from stars, using burned out ones as a guidline. Therefore: Big Bang, about 15 billion years ago. There is no other theory out there that meets with even a fraction of the approval this does.

The big bang is the creation of the universe. Scientists have recorded an echo in space, it is the echo of the big bang.

No, since I'm a Muslim, I found the Big Bang theory acceptable, as it fits with the Koran's verses.\n\n"Have not the disbelievers seen that the Heavens and the Earth were one piece and we parted them? And We made every living thing from water. Will they not then believe?" (Koran,21:30).\n\nThe universally accepted theory of the origin of the universe is now the Big Bang theory. It maintains that at one time all of the universe were one piece, the monoblock as it is called. At a particular point in time, this "monoblock" burst and it continues to expand. This gives us the universe we have today. This was a recent discovery, a recent comfirmation. \n\n"And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it." (Koran,51:47)\n\nAt the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is in constant motion and that it is expanding.\nThis notion was confirmed by the use of observational data in 1929. While observing the sky with a telescope, Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other. This discovery is regarded as one of the greatest in the history of astronomy. During these observations, Hubble established that the stars emit a light that turns redder according to their distance. That is because according to the known laws of physics, light heading towards a point of observation turns violet, and light moving away from that point assumes a more reddish hue. During his observations, Hubble noted a tendency towards the colour red in the light emitted by stars. In short, the stars were moving further and further away, all the time. The stars and galaxies were not only moving away from us, but also from each other. A universe where everything constantly moves away from everything else implied a constantly expanding universe. The observations carried out in the following years verified that the universe is constantly expanding.

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions. \n\nIn 1927, the  "Belgian priest Georges Lemaître"  was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemaître's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance. \n\nThe big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery. \n\nAlthough the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions.

No one can say with 100% absolute certainty that the Big Bang happened. However, there's a considerable body of SCIENTIFIC evidence that it did, mainly something called the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) Many years ago, when the Big Bang theory was being developed, someone figured out just what the temperature could be at the instant the Big Bang event happened (about 1.8^13 degrees Fahrenheit -- that's 1.8 followed by 13 zeros) Then they figured out what that original temperature would be today, billions of years later. In the early 1960's that temperature was actually detected and precisely measured. It almost exactly matched the proposed temperature -- 2.728 degrees above absolute zero -- and has been found to fill all of the observed universe.\n\nGod is spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

space-time itself originated in the big bang.  everywhere in the universe was once the big bang, and the whole universe was the big bang.  it is actually a common misconception that the big bang occurred at a specific location.\n\nhttp://www.sciam.com/print_version.cfm?articleID=0009F0CA-C523-1213-852383414B7F0147\nhttp://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_uni.html\nhttp://universeadventure.org/

God created it. It is endless and boundless....this is proven by the fact that our universe is continuously expanding.\nThe Big Bang is man's attempt to explain something he doesn't understand. It is false.\nWhy? well the answer is simple.....You can't have an explosion from absolute nothing.\nGod created the universe....a simple explanation with no holes in it.

If I were you, I'd search it myself instead of asking people, but that's just me.\n\nThere are so many theories to how the universe started, in which the Big Bang theory is the most popular. In this theory, it all started with a single point with the same amount of matter in the universe and it was really really hot. Then it just explodes, continuing to expand at an alarming speed. It was so hot that not even the particles that made up atoms could not even form until the universe was expanded enough to cool down, and then the first atoms were made. Then it just continues to expand to where we are now.\n\nThat's one theory. I like the never-started theory. There was no beginning to our universe. The reason why the Big Bang theory is the most accepted theory is because we (us humans) like to think that there is a start to everything. It just makes sense that there is a beginning. And it's easier to build theories and ideas upon it.\n\nPS Penguins!!!

I believe in the Big Bang theory and evolution.  No "one" caused the BB.  Scientists are still theorizing on what may have caused the BB.  \n\nI like the theory of BB's being commonplace and "new universes" being created.  Multiverses.  :-)

big bang. and its a big universe, we cant be all alone

There was no *everything* before the Big Bang. In fact, the phrase 'before the Big Bang' is probably meaningless since time itself began with the Big Bang.\n\nAn analogy may be in order. Model spacetime by a \nsphere with time being  represented by going down \na longitude line and space for a fixed time being\nrepresented by a latitude line. The Big Bang would \nbe represented by the north pole. In this model, \nspace expands until we get to the equator and then \nstarts to contract again until we get to the south \npole, which represents a 'Big Crunch'.\n\nIn this model, ask what is north of the north pole. \nThis is *exactly* like  asking what is before the Big \nBang. There is no real answer because the question\nassumes that time exists before the Big Bang, but \nin fact, time is part of the structure of the universe \nand began at the Big Bang.\n\nIn the real world, the spacial part is three dimensional, \nnot one dimensional like in our model (the circles of \nlatitude). Also, it is likely that the universe\nwill expand forever, so instead of a sphere, a \ntrumpet shape may be more appropriate. But the actual \nmodels used by scientists are generalizations and\nelaborations of models like this toy model.
