The Big Bang Theory

This is currently the most popular theory explaining how the universe was created. According to this theory, The Universe had its origin from a giant explosion known as the Big Bang. The matter flung out from the explosion condensed into galaxies that are still rushing outside. A common analogy explains that space itself is expanding, carrying galaxies with it.


The big bang theory received its strongest confirmation when the "cosmic background radiation" (the glow left after the explosion itself) was discovered in 1964 by Amo Penzias and Robert Wilson.

In 2003, NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Antisotropy Probe made measurements of the temperature of "cosmic background radiation" to within a millionth of a degree and came to the conclusion that  our Universe is 13.7 billion years old and the first generation stars began to form a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang.
