The discussion centers around the validity of the Big Bang Theory, specifically addressing claims that it has been disproven. Participants explore the theory's fundamentals and the implications of recent articles suggesting its disproof, while also considering the level of understanding of the original poster.
Participants generally agree that the Big Bang Theory has not been disproven, but the discussion remains open to different interpretations and claims regarding its validity.
The discussion includes references to external threads and resources, indicating that there are ongoing debates and varying perspectives on the Big Bang Theory that are not fully resolved within this thread.
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.
thanks BandersnatchBandersnatch said:Hi BoP.
Long story short, no. It's not true. Have a read through this thread:

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.
