Radio astronomers picked up what seemed to be a radio noise that came from all directions
1965
Princeton University
acknowledged that the
radio noise
was a distant echo of
cosmos radiation
The theory was that this
cosmos radiation
was a
remnant
of
particles
created after the
big bang
Theory of the universe
The universe is
constant.
It was
born
, and it
developed
in
stages.
Today scientists still
believe
that the universe
continues
to
change
Albert Einstein
provides a significant clarification on the big bang, asserting that the event did not just create
matter
, but
space-time
as well
According to
Einstein
, There was nothing for the big bang to
explode
into
The birth of
planets
is also attributed to the big bang
The earth was formed
Four
to
six billion
years ago
The study of
rocks
and the
fossils
embedded in them has provided the most important clues to the early
beginnings
of our planet
Radiometric Dating
Allows scientists to determine the
ages
of
rock strata
in thousands or
millions
of
years
before the present
Radiometric Dating
Calculation of when the
decay
process began based on certain
radioactive
isotopes such as
potassium-40
to
stable
isotopes such as
argon-40
Carbon-14 dating
Another dating method based on the
decay
of
radioactive
carbon-14 to
stable
carbon isotopes
