Big Bang Theory
...e was evenly distributed. This was a hard point to either prove or disprove. It wasn’t until 1992 when the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) satellite was launched that this point was proven. This satellite’s mission was to find in space what we couldn’t find on Earth. It measured the cosmic microwave background and found it to be of a fairly uniform temperature at about 2.732 Kelvin in most directions. The fluctuation is only about 2x10-4 Kelvin. This allows for a near even distribution on a larger scale. Another test of the big bang was the abundance of the so-called ‘light metals’ of the universe such as Lithium, Helium, and Deuterium. Einstein’s Big Bang Theory correctly predicts the amounts of each of these metals in the universe. This is also assuming that the density of normal matter is about three percent of the critical density. Although Einstein’s Big Bang Theory does a very good job of explaining our universe, there have been many observations as of late that can more simply explain the creation of the universe. Many of Einstein’s theories require complex mathematics to prove what can be simply explained by another phenomena. Ockham's razor shows that the simpler of two theories, that explain the same thing, is the more correct of the two. Some of the inherent faults in the big bang theory are its assumptions. The first assumption is the uniform distribution of mass. Although on the widest view of space the mass appears to be distributed evenly throughout the universe, on any narrow view, it appears to be a fractal distribution. This problem carries over to the mass density of normal matter being about three percent of that of the critical density. If the mass isn’t evenly distributed throughout the universe, the three percent density could not be accurate. Another problem in the Big Bang Theory is the answer for red shift. Red shift is, according to the Big Bang Theory and General Relativity, just the Doppler effect on light. This cannot explain why our sun is slightly red-shifted when we aren’t moving towards or away from it. This red shift is accredited to the Compton affect of the photons traveling through a cloud of dust and stray electrons. As the photon travels through thi...
