Question

Which occurrence would contradict the big bang theory?

Over time, distant galaxies move progressively closer to Earth.
A scientist discovers a black hole outside the Milky Way galaxy.
The average temperature of the universe decreases.
A scientist discovers a planet that is about 10 million years old.

Answer 1

The big bang theory states that all the matter that makes the universe was, at the beginning, I in a single infinitesimally small and infinitesimally dense point. Then, the point explodes given birth to the universe that we know. One of the major foundations that the universe was originated in that explosion called the big bang was made by Hubble when he proved that the universe is expanding; therefore, generally speaking galaxies are moving away from earth. The occurrence that contradicts the big bang theory is: “Over time, distant galaxies move progressively closer to Earth”

Answer 2

The statement that contradicts with the big bang theory is Over time, distant galaxies move progressively closer to Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1927, the Belgian Catholic priest Georges Lemaître proposed an expanding model for the universe to explain the observed redshifts of spiral nebulae, and calculated the Hubble law. Hence he laid the foundation of Big Bang Theory according to which the universe is expanding. There is no such statement that says about the contraction of all heavenly bodies towards the earth.
