There is evidence to indicate the Big Bang may have resulted from another, earlier universe collapsing in on itself, rather than from expanding from a point on infinitely hot and dense material. Instead, the universe appears to be going through constant phases of expansion (as it is at present) and contraction in a never-ending cycle. This theory of universe formation, known as the Big Bounce, was first proposed almost a century ago.
What is the big bang theory and evidence that supports it? The big bang theory is that our Universe began with an expansion of space (NOT an explosion of matter into space) that continues to this day at a rate that has remained fairly â¦ constant over the last 13 billion years or so.
