Definition von steady state theory im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
A cosmological model of the universe in which matter is continuously created as the universe expands
The theory describing a steady state universe. Also called continuous creation theory. the idea that things in space have always existed and have always been moving away from each other as new atoms begin to exist big bang theory
Concept of an expanding universe whose average density remains constant, matter being continuously created throughout it to form new stars and galaxies at the same rate that old ones recede from sight. A steady-state universe has no beginning or end, and its average density and arrangement of galaxies are the same as seen from every point. Galaxies of all ages are intermingled. The theory was first put forward by William Macmillan (1861-1948) in the 1920s and modified by Fred Hoyle to deal with problems that had arisen in connection with the big-bang model. Much evidence obtained since the 1950s contradicts the steady-state theory and supports the big-bang model
