  • 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
