ABSTRACT

The Big Bang model is the widely accepted theory of the evolution of the Universe today. All Big Bang models are based on the observations and experiments whose results have been extrapolated as far as possible into the past constructed by the process of hypothesis and calculations. The Big Bang model is now almost universally accepted by the scientific community. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1978 was divided again with one half going to P. L. Kapitsa “for his basic inventions, discoveries in the area of low-temperature physics”, the other half jointly to A. A. Penzias and R. W. Wilson “for their discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation”. Penrose won half the prize for proving that under very general conditions, the collapsing matter would trigger the formation of a black hole described in his ground-breaking paper. An aspect of anthropic reasoning that has attracted plenty of attention is the use in cosmology in explaining the apparent fine-tuning of our Universe.
