Let's talk physicist drama! Physics drama, and science drama in general, is important to learning about because it shows that the scientific method of peer review is important and messy. Ready to learn why we know the big bang theory is correct? There's observational evidence for the big bang theory -- the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Even super smart scientists like Fred Hoyle can be wrong about important things -- science is about learning.
Patron Robert Williams asked, "How do we know that Fred Hoyle was wrong about the steady state model of the universe?" Short Answer: The CMB.
