What facts disprove the Big Bang Theory?
A. Right now, the only serious problem facing Big Bang cosmology is that the NASA COBE satellite has shown that the cosmic background radiation is slightly lumpy in a way predicted by a version of Big Bang cosmology called “inflationary Big Bang cosmology.” This version, however, requires that the universe have an average density that is exactly its “critical density” given how fast it is currently expanding. But when astronomers use a variety of independent observational techniques to measure what the density of our universe is, the numbers seem to come up short by a factor between two and five. The recent study of supernovae located some 5 billion light years away have, again, indicated that the universe seems to have about five times less density than inflationary cosmology demands that it must have to be consistent with the COBE measurements. Something is not adding up, but too many other things DO add up to favor Big Bang cosmology. No astronomer is even remotely suggesting that B
