Which of the following theories explains the formation of the universe?
A
The Law of Conservation of Energy
B
The Kinetic Molecular Theory
C
The Big Bang Theory
D
The Theory of Relativity
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the theories listed in the problem: The Law of Conservation of Energy, The Kinetic Molecular Theory, The Big Bang Theory, and The Theory of Relativity.
Understand the context of the problem: It asks which theory explains the formation of the universe.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. It is a fundamental principle in physics but does not specifically address the formation of the universe.
The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the behavior of gases and the motion of molecules, which is unrelated to the formation of the universe.
The Big Bang Theory is the scientific explanation for the origin of the universe, describing how it expanded from a very high-density and high-temperature state. This theory is widely accepted as the explanation for the formation of the universe.
