    exchanging energy with the fundamental particles. This could no longer take place so easily with atoms so the photons filled interstellar space in the form of almost a ’gas’. Over a period of 10 billion years this matter and energy coagulated into stars‚ galaxies and planets and continued to expand‚ forming what we now know as the universe. The big bang theory was initially suggested by Georges Lemaitre in 1927. His proposal came after comparing a model of the universe based on Einstein’s theories with observations

The red shift supports the idea that the galaxies are moving away from us. It also suggests that the universe is indeed expanding. Meanwhile the second evidence that supports Big Bang theory is the radio waves that were heard by the two scientists in 1969 in New Jersey. The sound that the two scientists
