Big Bang and Universe Evolution
The Big Bang theory stands as a cornerstone in our understanding of the universe's evolution, providing a compelling narrative for its origins and development. Proposed initially in the early 20th century, the Big Bang theory posits that the universe originated from a singular, infinitely dense point, expanding and cooling over billions of years to form the vast cosmos we observe today. Through a convergence of observational evidence and theoretical frameworks, scientists have pieced together a coherent narrative of cosmic evolution, shedding light on the formation of galaxies, stars, and the fundamental forces governing the universe's dynamics.
