===Origin of the Universe===
====Big Bang Theory====
: The current prevailing [[Scientific Theory|theory]] for the origin of the modern [[universe]] is the [[Big Bang Theory]] backed by [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]] which shows all the [[observe]]d [[galaxy|galaxies]] in the [[universe]] must have all begun at one small point in [[space]].
[[Scientific Evidence|Evidence]]:
[[Redshift]] - [[Redshift]] shows that all of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] are moving away from each other at very high [[speed]].
[[Cosmic Microwave Background]] - [[Microwave]] [[radiation]] coming from all directions in [[space]] show that at one point the entire [[universe]] was roughly the same [[temperature]] everywhere.
Old [[Star]]s - There have not been any [[star]]s [[observe]]d older than 13 billion years.
===Future of the Universe===
: Current [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]] shows the [[galaxy|galaxies]] are accelerating away from us suggesting the [[universe]] will continue to expand forever.
: Some [[scientist]]s used to believe the [[universe]] would end with all the [[matter]] falling back together. The [[Scientific Theory|theory]] was called [['The Big Crunch]] ' but it seems unlikely to be true due to the counter [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]].{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpLU7OzNV8}} ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/019835939X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=019835939X&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=57e96876985fc39b1a3d8a3e3dc238b6 ''The universe, pages 238-241, GCSE Physics; Third Edition, Oxford University Press, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/178294558X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=178294558X&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=f0dfb66dafcb0c6e9449e7b1a4ae1ac474 ''Universe, page 102, GCSE Physics; The Revision Guide, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0008158770/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0008158770&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ec31595e720e1529e49876c3866fff6e ''Universe, pages 275, 280, 286-93, GCSE Physics; Student Book, Collins, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945970/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945970&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=a120d24dcc7cc7a58192069a3aafc1d2 ''Universe, pages 322, 323, GCSE Physics; The Complete 9-1 Course for AQA, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471851370/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471851370&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=01c69b0ae058f809cf636033e6ba793e ''Universe; big bang theory, page 257, GCSE Physics, Hodder, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471851370/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471851370&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=01c69b0ae058f809cf636033e6ba793e ''Universe; early ideas of, page 258, GCSE Physics, Hodder, AQA ''] ====Edexcel==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1292120223/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1292120223&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=068ecf40278c32406a7f1c6e66751417 ''Universe, page 125, GCSE Physics, Pearson Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782948163/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782948163&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=0fdbfd5dd397d6e24a9dfb250f08587f ''Universe; expansion, page 192, GCSE Physics, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1292120223/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1292120223&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=068ecf40278c32406a7f1c6e66751417 ''Universe; origin of, pages 126-127, GCSE Physics, Pearson Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782948163/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782948163&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=0fdbfd5dd397d6e24a9dfb250f08587f ''Universe; theories of origin, page 193, GCSE Physics, CGP, Edexcel ''] ==Beyond the Curriculum=={{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrTsvn9usVQ}}{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wYw7p5MMNg}}
