Steady State Theory
The Steady State Theory Compared to The Big Bang (density of matter)
The Steady State theory is an alternative theory to the Big Bang Theory; it was established in 1949 by Fred Hoyle, Hermann Bondi and Tommy Gold. According to the steady state theory the universe does not alter its appearance over time, despite it constantly expanding, because new matter is regularly being formed to keep the density equal. The Steady State Theory suggests that there was no beginning, nor will there be an end to the universe. It believes that new stars and galaxies form to fill any empty space that has been left behind by old stars and galaxies moving away from each other. The Steady State Theory was popular in the 1950's though it soon became the less accepted due to then new astronomical observations and theories. In today's society very few people prefer the steady state theory over the Big Bang Theory.
