Big Bang theory – Origin of the Big Bang theory – Origin of the UniverseUniverse
Big BangBig Bang marks the inception of the marks the inception of the universe universe • Occurred about 13.7 billion years agoOccurred about 13.7 billion years ago• All matter and space was createdAll matter and space was created
Not a huge explosion that hurled matter Not a huge explosion that hurled matter in all directions. Technically, there was in all directions. Technically, there was no “bang”no “bang”
Technically, matter is not moving outward Technically, matter is not moving outward in all directions. Reality: space expandsin all directions. Reality: space expands

A Balancing Act
Energy released from nuclear fusion counter-acts inward force of gravity.
Throughout its life, these two forces determine the stages of a star’s life.
As long as the forces of gravity and thermal pressure are balanced, the star exists on the main sequence.
