//The "Big Bang" theory is widely accepted by astronomers everywhere.//


 * The "Big Bang" happened about 14,000 million years ago, and most of the happenings occured in the first 1 second after the explosion.**



//But what is this theory?// //If you were to imagine how the big bang happened you could start off with a smoke bomb.// //The smoke bomb would explode and send infinite amounts of particles everywhere.// //At the start of the explosion the particles would be very hot// //Then as they travel outwards they would begin to cool and change colour from bright red to grey// //As they continue travelling the particles would begin to clump into balls of particles// //Then the particles would compact into dust bunnies, we call these stars// //The dust bunnies would catch different particles and they would start to “orbit” the dust bunny// //Eventually large amounts of dust bunnies would come together and create “Galaxies”// //Thus creating the universe as a whole.//

Overall the "Big Bang" theory aims to explain the creation of the universe. No-one knows for sure as to how the universe started but this is one of the many ideas. There are also 3 other main theories

Born: March 4, 1881, West Newton, Massachusetts Died: September 5, 1948, Pasadena Profession: American mathematical physicist, physical chemist
 * Richard Tolman** Created this theory

Idea: The universe started expanding at the big bang and then will eventually collapse and explode again. Oscillating Universe Theory

(order from left to right)
 * Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi** among others created this theory



Born: 24 June, 1915 Died: 20 August, 2001 Profession: Astronomer

Born: May 22, 1920 Died: June 22, 2004 Profession: Astrophysicist

Born: 1 November 1919 Died: 10 September 2005 Profession: Mathematician

Idea: The universe will constantly expand and new matter is created to allow for even distribution through out the universe. Steady State Theory

Born: 1942, Florence, Italy Died: N/A Profession: theoretical physicist
 * Gabriele Veneziano** Created this theory

Idea: Universe is made up of stretchy "Quantum Strings", the vibrations of the strings are controlled by alternate dimensions and different vibrational paterns yield different particles. Super String Theory
