Big Bang Theory Explained: Is It Disproved?

AI Thread Summary
The claim that scientists have disproved the Big Bang Theory is false. The theory remains a cornerstone of modern cosmology, explaining the universe's expansion from a hot, dense state. For those unfamiliar with the details, several resources provide comprehensive overviews of the Big Bang Theory. It is advised to cite sources when discussing scientific claims to ensure validity and clarity. Overall, the Big Bang Theory continues to be supported by substantial evidence in the scientific community.

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.

I do know the basics but not aware of the details.
 
Hi BoP.

Long story short, no. It's not true. Have a read through this thread:
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/quantum-equations-suggest-the-big-bang-never-happened.797073/
for more concise, easier to read and to the point comments look here:

For primers on Big Bang read through the following resources:

http://preposterousuniverse.com/writings/cosmologyprimer/index.html
http://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~charley/papers/LineweaverDavisSciAm.pdf

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.

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
