The Theory Of Albert Einstein: The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is a widely accepted theory in the scientific community that spells out the origin of the universe. The theory states that at the birth of the universe billions and billions of years ago it expanded at light speed leaving behind protons, neutrons, and electrons which would be the base for all life later on. When you look at the universe you can see that it’s expanding and growing. The Big Bang Theory is a very valid theory because over time people have discovered that the Sun is in the center of the universe, gravity works around mass, space time warps around us, and the universe is ever expanding. In the very beginning people thought that Earth was the center of the universe, but they were terribly wrong. The first instrumental

Einstein published his theory of general relativity which stated that space and time were one and sort of like a cloth. He stated that the more mass an object had, the more distortion on space time it had. Einstein said that not even light could escape the effects of gravity. These opened contradictions to Einstein's beliefs though, and so he concluded the universe must be expanding or contracting. Einstein couldn’t make the leap, but others could. An expanding universe fit very well into a theory called The Big Bang Theory. George Lemaitre connected the pieces that not even the great Einstein would accept, that the universe wasn’t just static and was expanding. He concluded that the universe today is bigger than it was ever before and at the very beginning was very small. Edwin Hubble would see something that destroyed Einstein's theory of a static universe. Back then people just thought that the milky way was the entire universe, but they were very mistaken. The Hubble telescope revealed that the Sun is one of billions of stars that are in our universe. Edwin Hubble could see how far a star was by looking at how much light is visible. The brighter the light the closer it is to you. Hubble had found some visible dust in the milky way and did the math and it turned out to be 1,000,000 light years away. In that moment he figured out that the Andromeda galaxy was
