b. It is the proportion predicted to be present in the early universe.
The Big Bang Theory explains that the universe began with a highly dense and hot state, and as it expanded and cooled down, the simple elements like hydrogen and helium were formed. The proportion of hydrogen to helium observed in the universe today matches the predicted proportions that would result from the Big Bang. This alignment of observed proportions with predicted proportions provides evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory.
how does the proportion of hydrogens and helium in the universe support the big bang theory?
a. it shows that only simple elements are present in the universe
b. it is the proportion predicted to be present in the early universe
c. it proves that matter must be formed under high temperatures
d. it demonstrates the rate of expansion predicted by the theory
