What is the name of the theory that describes the universe from the Big Bang to the present day?

  1. The Standard Model of Cosmology

  2. The Big Bang Theory

  3. The Theory of General Relativity

  4. The Steady State Theory


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Standard Model of Cosmology is the most widely accepted theory of the universe's origin and evolution.

What is the basic assumption of the Standard Model of Cosmology?

  1. The universe is homogeneous and isotropic

  2. The universe is governed by the laws of general relativity

  3. The universe is infinite in size

  4. The universe is eternal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The assumption of homogeneity means that the universe looks the same in all directions, while the assumption of isotropy means that the universe looks the same at all times.
