What is the significance of the abundance of light elements in the universe?

• It is a sign of the universe's steady state and lack of a beginning

• It is a result of the gravitational pull of black holes

• It provides evidence for the Big Bang theory and helps explain the formation of the early universe.

• It has no significance and is just a random occurrence

What evidence supports the expansion of the universe?

• No evidence supports the expansion of the universe

• Blue shift of distant galaxies, cosmic microwave background radiation, and observation of nearby supernovae

• Stagnation of distant galaxies, absence of cosmic microwave background radiation, and lack of observation of distant supernovae

• Redshift of distant galaxies, cosmic microwave background radiation, and observation of distant supernovae

What is the relationship between redshift and the distance of galaxies?

• Redshift only applies to nearby galaxies, not distant ones.

• Redshift is inversely related to the distance of galaxies.

• Redshift is directly related to the distance of galaxies.

• Redshift is unrelated to the distance of galaxies.

Which light elements are considered as evidence for the Big Bang nucleosynthesis?

• Oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon

• Sodium, potassium, and magnesium

• Aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus

• Hydrogen, helium, and lithium

What is the main implication of the expansion of the universe?

• The expansion is causing galaxies to collide

• Galaxies are moving towards each other

• The universe is shrinking

• Galaxies are moving away from each other

How does Hubble's law relate to the expansion of the universe?

• Hubble's law describes the relationship between the distance of galaxies and their recessional velocity, providing evidence for the expansion of the universe.

• Hubble's law only applies to the Milky Way galaxy and not to the entire universe.

• Hubble's law describes the relationship between the size of galaxies and their distance from Earth.

• Hubble's law states that galaxies are not moving away from each other, contradicting the expansion of the universe.
