Man has admired and studied the skies above him since the beginning of time in efforts to understand how his universe was created and where exactly his world
was located within these surroundings. In the process of these studies many theories have developed and are still being developing today. Today the most
widely accepted model is the big bang theory. Time has allowed the basic foundations behind the big bang theory to be reinforced many times since its original
conception. Einstein's general relativity field equations provided the Russian physicist, Alexander Friedmann the ability to adapt solutions that would create the
groundwork for the big bang theory. In 1927, abb Georges Lamatre concluded that the universe had expanded from a "primval atom". Through his religious
beliefs, he believed that this "primval atom" was the source of all atoms that followed during the process of continual fission was the creation of god. The
American astronomer, Edwin Hubble's research would support the perception of an expanding universe with his study of light in the distant galaxies. The
expansion of light research in the universe led him to form the hypothesis of redshift, in which he noticed that the light of distant galaxies were shift toward the
red end of the spectrum. With this information he determined that the galaxies were moving away from each other, the farther galaxies were moving faster and
the overall universe was expanding equally...
