Concept information

Preferred term

big bang theory  

Definition(s)

  • Throughout the ages, most people believed that the cosmos had existed for all eternity in an unchanging or static condition, neither expanding nor contracting. One reason individuals held this belief was an absence of scientific data, coupled with the inability to answer questions about the universe through measurement and observation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Big Bang Theory]
