Can anyone give me a reason to how technology improves our belief of the Big Bang Theory?

In 1916 the largest telescopes built up to then could not not see much that was outside our galaxy. Other galaxies were faint smudges of light. Some astronomers thought they were clouds of gas and dust inside the Milky Way, others dared to suggest they were vast clouds of stars a very long way away. A few years before that one astronomer had managed to get a spectrum of the light from one of these smudges and the red shift showed it was moving away from us. Up till then this was the only evidence for anything like a big bang. In 1917 the 100 inch "Hooker Telescope" was installed at a favorable site near Los Angeles. Over the next several years it was found that the smudges were in fact vast collections of stars and nearly all of them were moving away. By the end of the 1920s there were a few hundred such observations. This led to the idea that the Universe was expanding. The technological improvement that led to this was the improved building of large telescope mirrors made from glass blanks which had been going on for about 70 years by then. In the 1960s the old idea of communications satellites was becoming a reality, but they needed good antennas on the ground since the satellites had to be so far away and the signal from them would be weak. At Bell Laboratories, two physicists were tuning up an antenna for such satellites and found there was a constant noise in the radio receivers. After many attempts to locate it, they finally realised it was coming from deep space and was the cosmic microwave background which had been predicted by the big bang theorists several years before. So the improvement in radio antennas and receivers in the years up to 1964 was the technological improvement which led to the confirmation of the bb theory. There are larger optical telescopes than the Hooker now in several countries and the number of galaxies that have been detected and red shifts measured is in the hundreds of thousands. That is aside from the large number of radio telescopes and satellites which all produce similar evidence. More recently photographic film used in telescopes has been replaced by something similar to the light sensitive screens in digital cameras. These can be made more sensitive than film so more observations can be made in the same amount of time.

-One major instrument in improving our understanding of the origins of the Universe is the Hubble telescope. It is named after Edwin Hubble, the man who first discovered that the universe is expanding (and therefore was much smaller at one time). The Hubble telescope was designed in part to make precise measurements of the expansion of space. It did so, in part by using type 1a Supernovae as "standard candles" to gauge the distance and speed of faraway galaxy. Hubble not only confirmed that space is indeed expanding, but actually showed that space is expanding at an accelerating rate, something completely unexpected, which has to be driven by something other than just the initial "bang" at the beginning of the universe (since it would be slowing down otherwise, not speeding up). Scientists call this phenomenon "dark energy". Space telescopes also help shed light on galaxy formation and other phenomena in the early universe by looking "back in time" 13 billion years, at extremely distant galaxies. -Another major advancement in our understanding of the big bang is the ability to make precise measurements of cosmic background microwave radiation--radiation left over from the big bang, stretched out by the expansion of space into microwaves. (Just as a note--the presence and energy level of the CMB radiation was predicted before it was actually observed...pretty hard to explain for someone who says there is "no evidence" for the big bang--afterall, confirming previous predictions is the heart of scientific evidence) -Lastly, studies of the big bang don't just include the studying space, time and gravity, but the very small particles and fundamental interactions (forces) of nature. On this front, particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider provide invaluable experimental information on these dynamics. Highly energetic collisions of particles, like those in the LHC, recreate the conditions that were present literally a billionth of a second after the big bang! (since all of matter and energy took up such a tiny space, it was incredibly, incredibly energetic). So to recap, three major technologies that help our understanding of the Big Bang and cosmology in general: -Space telescopes like Hubble -Precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, like the new WMAP probe -Particle accelerators like the LHC

Technology actually adds fuel to DISPROVE this theory. Planets spin sideways, or backwards, the moon moves away from the earth, but in billions of years has still not moved far enough away from the earth. The sun, just how much longer can it burn, how long would it take for that bugger to cool off? Yikes

Technology improves our belief of the big bang because it has helped provide cold, hard facts. Science is mostly based on speculation and it is not until the technology is invented that we can know for certain what the facts are.

As our minds expand so does the universe.

the big bang is just a theory in it self time was around long before the bb....we just use the bb to try and gauge where the start of our universe happened there is really no hard facts to support this thats why its just a theory

Look up "Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson"; you should find something about in 1964. Good luck with your report.

i am not so sure. Just walk around... http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/209674
