What is the theory that explains the origin and evolution of the universe?

  1. The Steady State Theory

  2. The Big Bang Theory

  3. The Oscillating Universe Theory

  4. The Multiverse Theory

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its present expansion and cooling.

What is the evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory?

  1. The cosmic microwave background radiation

  2. The abundance of light elements

  3. The expansion of the universe

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements, and the expansion of the universe are all evidence that supports the Big Bang Theory.

What is the cosmic microwave background radiation?

  1. The leftover radiation from the Big Bang

  2. The radiation emitted by stars and galaxies

  3. The radiation emitted by the Sun

  4. The radiation emitted by the Earth

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The cosmic microwave background radiation is the leftover radiation from the Big Bang, which is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its present expansion and cooling.

What is the fate of the universe?

  1. The universe will continue to expand forever

  2. The universe will eventually stop expanding and collapse in on itself

  3. The universe will eventually reach a state of equilibrium

  4. The universe will eventually be destroyed by a giant black hole

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The fate of the universe is still unknown, but the prevailing theory is that the universe will continue to expand forever.
