Steady-state theory, in cosmology, a view that the universe is always expanding

but maintaining a constant average density, with matter being continuously

created to form new stars and galaxies at the same rate that old ones become
unobservable as a consequence of their increasing distance and velocity of
recession.

A steady-state universe has no beginning or end in time, and from any point within
it the view on the grand scale—i.e., the average density and arrangement of
galaxies—is the same. Galaxies of all possible ages are intermingled.

The theory was first put forward in 1948 by British scientists Sir Hermann Bondi,
Thomas Gold, and Sir Fred Hoyle. It was further developed by Hoyle to deal with
problems that had arisen in connection with the alternative big-bang hypothesis.
Observations since the 1950s (most notably, those of the cosmic microwave
background) have produced much evidence contradictory to the steady-state
picture and have led scientists to overwhelmingly support the big-bang model.

The Big Bang theory is a cosmological model for the observable universe from the
earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution. The model
describes how the universe expanded from a very high-density and high-
temperature state, and offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of
phenomena, including the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave
background (CMB), large-scale structure and Hubble's law (the farther away
galaxies are, the faster they are moving away from Earth). If the observed
conditions are extrapolated backwards in time using the known laws of physics, the
prediction is that just before a period of very high density there was a singularity
which is typically associated with the Big Bang. Current knowledge is insufficient to
determine if the singularity was primordial.

Since Georges Lemaître first noted in 1927 that an expanding universe could be
traced back in time to an originating single point, scientists have built on his idea of
cosmic expansion. The scientific community was once divided between supporters
of two different theories, the Big Bang and the steady state theory, but a wide
range of empirical evidence has strongly favored the Big Bang which is now
universally accepted. In 1929, from analysis of galactic redshifts, Edwin Hubble
concluded that galaxies are drifting apart; this is important observational evidence
for an expanding universe. In 1964, the cosmic microwave background radiation
was discovered, which was crucial evidence in favor of the hot Big Bang model,
since that theory predicted the existence of background radiation throughout the
universe before it was discovered.

The big bang

It is believed that the universe started with a single source. This source is thought
to have exploded making the big bang theory. The big bang theory proposes that
the universe was estimated to be made around ten million years ago. The matter in
the universe was a hot dense ball of radiant and subatomic particles. The
temperature would have been extremely high (billions of billions of degrees).
Although the theory explains most it does not explain the origin of the ball of
matter. That still remains a mystery in science.

Steady State

Steady State Theory believes that the universe has always existed. It explains the
universe as it is always the same and has always been the same and has never
changed. It says that the universe is infinity old, it has no birth date and will never
end. This theory suggest that new matter is created everywhere in the universe
which makes new galaxy that slowly move away from each other. This theory
believes that the universe is endless in time and space. It also believes that stars
and galaxies die and re-form. The theory cannot explain how the universe was
made and it currently is only followed by few.

Similarities:

similarities in the big bang and steady state theories are few. Both theories
explained the galaxies discovered by Vesto Slipher, Edwin Hubble and Milton
Humason. They each don’t have an answer for everything. Such as the big bang
does not explain the ball of matter and the steady state does not explain how the
universe was formed.

Differences:

The difference are many. The big bang theory believes that the universe always
changes but the steady state theory believes it is and always has been the exact
same for ever and will never change. The big bang believes it was formed by a big
ball of matter and it hasn't always been around and will eventually die. This is how
different these theories are.

Which Theory do i believe?

I personally believe the big bang theory is more plausible. It fits all the facts. It
explains how the universe was made and the steady state does not. As well, the
steady state says that the universe does not which is incorrect. Due to satellites
science has confirmed the universe is constantly changing. This is why I believe the
big bang is more plausible.

My Theory:
I believe that God is the creator of the universe. How it was created is a concept
that I find difficult to understand. I believe that the universe is constantly changing
and evolving. I believe God is in control of our universe. The bible is what I think
explains every thing and is what is correct. It is the religion side that I think is true.
The steady-state theory is a view that the universe is always expanding but
maintaining a constant average density, matter being continuously created to form
new stars and galaxies at the same rate that old ones become unobservable as a

consequence of their increasing distance and velocity of recession. A steady-state

universe has no beginning or end in time; and from any point within it the view on
the grand scale--i.e., the average density and arrangement of galaxies--is the
same. Galaxies of all possible ages are intermingled.

Sir Hermann Bondi KCB FRS was a British-Austrian mathematician and

cosmologist. He is best known for developing the steady state model of the
universe with Fred Hoyle and Thomas Gold as an alternative to the Big Bang theory.

Thomas Gold, was an Austrian-born astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at

Cornell University, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and a
Fellow of the Royal Society.

Sir Fred Hoyle FRS was an English astronomer who formulated the theory of
stellar nucleosynthesis. He also held controversial stances on other scientific
matters—in particular his rejection of the "Big Bang" theory, a term coined by him
on BBC radio, and his promotion of panspermia as the origin of life on Earth.

Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître RAS Associate was a Jesuit

trained Belgian Catholic priest, mathematician, astronomer, and professor of
physics at the Catholic University of Louvain.
