    principle); it has no beginning and no end. The theory requires that new matter must be continuously created (mostly as hydrogen) to keep the average density of matter equal over time. The amount required is low and not directly detectable: roughly one solar mass of baryons per cubic megaparsec per year or roughly one hydrogen atom per cubic meter per billion years‚ with roughly five times as much dark matter. Such a creation rate‚ however‚ would cause observable effects on cosmological scales. Dust-Cloud

    moon was formed from the big impact. The first theory is the co-formation theory. The co-formation theory also know as the condensation theory‚ says that the moon was formed at the same time as the earth. The theory states that the solar system was formed out of the solar nebula.

The weakness of this theory is because if the moon and the earth were condensed together the gravitational force of earth would have caused
