[1] The observational evidence points to a hot Big Bang cosmology with a finite age of the universe, which the steady-state model does not predict.The modern Big Bang theory, first advanced by Father Georges Lemaître, is one in which the universe has a finite age and has evolved over time through cooling, expansion, and the formation of structures through gravitational collapse.The steady-state model attempted to explain the microwave background radiation as the result of light from ancient stars that has been scattered by galactic dust.Furthermore, its spectrum is so close to that of an ideal black body that it could hardly be formed by the superposition of contributions from a multitude of dust clumps at different temperatures as well as at different redshifts.Steven Weinberg wrote in 1972: "The steady state model does not appear to agree with the observed dL versus z relation or with source counts ...The model suggests pockets of creation occurring over time within the universe, sometimes referred to as minibangs, mini-creation events, or little bangs.
