The Expanding Universe

Question 1 • 2001310 Earth Science Sem 1 - Pearson

Which statements describe the principles of the big bang theory? Select two options.

Answer
A
The universe is continuing to expand.
B
The universe stretched from a single point.
C
The universe resulted from the collision of light and dark energy.
D
The universe expanded, but its size is now remaining constant.
E
The universe is slowly collapsing and getting smaller.

Explanation

The Big Bang theory describes the universe expanding from an extremely hot, dense early state, often simplified as beginning from a single point. The universe is still expanding today, so “The universe is continuing to expand” and “The universe stretched from a single point” are the correct statements. It is not currently remaining constant in size or slowly collapsing.
