Steady state
Steady state theory
In
cosmology, the steady state theory (also known as the Infinite Universe Theory or continuous creation) is a model developed in
1948 by
Fred Hoyle,
Thomas Gold,
Hermann Bondi and others as an
alternative to the
Big Bang theory (known, usually, as the standard cosmological model). In some steady state views, new matter is continuously created as the universe expands, so that the
perfect cosmological principle is adhered to. Although the model had a large number of supporters among cosmologists in the
1950s and
1960s, the number of supporters decreased markedly in the late 1960s with the discovery of the
cosmic microwave background radiation, and today only a very small number of supporters remain. The key importance of the steady-state model is that as a competitor to the Big Bang, it was an impetus in generating some of the most important research in astrophysics, much of which ultimately ended up supporting the Big Bang theory.
