The Big Bang Theory has not been disproved, contrary to some claims circulating in articles. Key discussions on this topic can be found in threads on Physics Forums, specifically "Quantum Equations Suggest the Big Bang Never Happened" and "Is the Big Bang Theory on Its Last Breath." For foundational understanding, resources such as Einstein Online and Preposterous Universe provide comprehensive primers on the Big Bang. It is essential to cite sources when discussing scientific claims to assess their validity effectively.
PREREQUISITESStudents, educators, and anyone interested in cosmology and the ongoing discussions surrounding the Big Bang Theory will benefit from this discussion.
I do know the basics but not aware of the details.BATMANofPHYSICS said:I just read an article saying that scientists disproved The Big Bang Theory. Is this true? and please run me through the whole "big bang theory" in brief as I'm no expert but just a school student.

Long story short, no. It's not true. Have a read through this thread:

for more concise, easier to read and to the point comments look here:

For primers on Big Bang read through the following resources:

For future reference, try and cite the source of statements that you've read about. It makes it easier to evaluate the validity of the source and decide whether it warrants further discussion at all. Similarly, it's good to say what is your level of prior knowledge on the subject - what have you read so far etc, so that we don't end up restating things you already know or talking over your head.
Cool name by the way.
