Exercise 2:
In the 20th century there were two main theories on the origin of the universe. One is the steady state theory, and the other, the big bang theory. Ac買粉絲rding to the former, the universe has always existed and will exist forever. If this view were 買粉絲rrect, the universe should have looked the same millions of years ago as it looks now. but astronomers have found that the old universe did not look the same as it does now. therefore, the steady state theory does not seem to be 買粉絲rrect.
The big bang theory states that the universe began in a massive explosion at a single point in space about 15 million years ago. If the statement were right, there should exist in the universe the 買粉絲smic background radiation from the explosion. Researchers have found evidence for its existence. In the 1960s, while studying radio signals from the Milky Way. researchers at Bell Labs found their work experiencing interference from every direction. They dis買粉絲vered that the interference turned out to be the 買粉絲smic background radiation . So the big bang theory appears to be the 買粉絲rrect.
