Answers
GPT 3.5
1. The discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 1965 provided strong evidence in support of the Big Bang theory and contradicted the predictions of the Steady State Theory. This radiation is remnants of the early universe and is consistent with the idea that the universe originated from a hot, dense state.
2. The observation of the redshift of distant galaxies by Edwin Hubble in the 1920s provided further evidence for an expanding universe, which is a key aspect of the Big Bang theory. The Steady State Theory, on the other hand, posited that the universe was static and unchanging.
3. The abundance of light elements in the universe, such as helium and deuterium, is best explained by the Big Bang model, which predicts the conditions necessary for their formation in the early universe. The Steady State Theory failed to account for the observed distribution of elements in the universe.
