Evidence for the Big Bang
1. Universe not infinite2. We have detected the leftover radiation
from the Big Bang.3. The Big Bang theory correctly predicts the
abundance of helium and other light elements in the universe.

The night sky is dark because the universe changes with time.
As we look out in space, we can look back to a time when there were no stars.

large-redshift quasars
• largest redshift quasar has z=7.1
• how can there be z > 1??
• does it imply v>c??
• no, cosmological redshift really just expansion of space

Recombination epoch• Universe immersed in microwave radiation.• Unleashed at the end of the Era of Nuclei.
• 380,000 years after Big Bang, Universe had cooled to 3000 K• Free electrons became bound into atoms of H & He• “Recombination epoch” • without free electrons to scatter photons, Universe became transparent

Background has perfect thermal radiation spectrum at temperature 2.73 K.
Expansion of the universe has redshifted thermal radiation from that time to ~1000 times longer wavelength: microwaves.
