Founded by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi

The universe always changes

The universe is unchanging

The observable universe has an indefinable place and time

The observable universe is the same at any place and time

As the universe expands, the density decreases

The density stays the same as the universe expands

Founded by Fred Gold, Thomas Hoyle, and Hermann Bondi

What is the STRING theory? (check all that apply; there are 5 correct answers).

There is a presence of "strings" in the universe

The universe consists of lines

The universe consists of point-like particles

Inconsistent with quantum gravity

Consistent with quantum gravity

AKA the "Theory of Everything"

Founded by Georges Lemaitre

Founded by Fredereich Lemaitre

Was based on His assumptions of the theory of general relativity

Was based on His assumptions of the theory of mass conservation

The universe began at a small, dense, and matter and energy-filled point called a singularity

The universe exploded from the singularity into existence

The universe rapidly expanded from the singularity

What is the INFLATION theory? (check all that apply; there are 4 correct answers).

Started AFTER the "big bang"

Started BEFORE the "big bang"

Stretches the "curve" of the universe to make it look flat
