53  Formation of Galaxies

Menu  back

Following the inflation, minor irregularities in the gas density supposedly led to conglomerations resulting in the formation of galaxies. However, no mechanism is known which could reverse the expansion of the gases to obtain accumulation. The expansion of the universe would have prevented the formation of galaxies.

Approx. one second after the big bang, stable atom nuclei would have to be formed. During the next 100,000 years, the universe continued to expand while the temperature decreased and the electrons united with the protons to develop normal atomic structures.

The resulting gases allegedly distributed irregularly which led to accumulations. However, the inertia of the expanding matter would have prevented forming galaxies.


The well-known big bang specialist Joseph Silk wrote (1):


“The big bang theory has not solved three basic problems to date:



1)  what happened before the beginning,


2)  the nature of the singularity itself


3)  and the origin of the galaxies.“



In the past decades, a number of theories have been advanced, attempting to clarify the origin of galaxies based on the big bang theory. However, none of these were capable of convincing the experts. Formation of galaxies cannot be clarified within the scope of the big bang theory.

"The notion that galaxies form (following the big bang) in which an active astronomical history then takes place, is an illusion. Nothing forms, everything is dead as a door nail [...] The big bang cosmologies lead to a universe, which is practically finished and dead from the very beginning." These ar the words of cosmologist and astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle.
