    Georges Lemaître discovered what made the big bang happen and proposed his idea to other scientists
    The universe began, scientists believe, with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe. Astrophysicists dubbed this titanic explosion the Big Bang.

    WW2
    World War II, conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during the years 1939–45. The 40,000,000 – 50,000,000 deaths incurred in World War II make it the bloodiest conflict, as well as the largest war, in history.

  • Afterglow of the big bang discovered

    Afterglow of the big bang discovered
    Sometimes called the afterglow of the Big Bang, this light is more properly known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was first predicted by Ralph Alpher and other scientists in 1948 but was found by accident about 20 years later. This discovery happened when Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson built a radio receiver in 1965 and got higher-than-expected temperatures. At first they thought the anomaly was due to waste in their antennas, but they cleaned up the mess and the anomaly persisted.
