Question

Identify which of the following is not true according to the Big Bang Theory?

• A. Our universe is spreading out over time.
• B. As energy cooled down over time, particles were able to form matter.
• C. Our universe is becoming more compact over time.
• D. All energy was confined in some point from which the explosion occurred.
• E. Energy began to spread out a long time ago.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Our universe is becoming more compact over time.

According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe started as energy concentrated at a single point, and spread out with time and cooled as it did to form matter from the energy that is possessed, creating lighter particles initially and forming heavier elements and molecules later. The age of the universe is around 13.82 billion years, which is the time there has been for the universe spreading.
