Steady State Theory
There are a few different theories about the origin of the universe today. The Steady State Theory was developed in the late 1940's, the term 'steady state' means a stable condition that does not change over time or in which change in one direction is continually balanced by change in another. The Steady State Theory of the origin of the universe is also referred to as the infinite universe theory or continuous creation. This theory was proposed by Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, and Sir Fred Hoyle.
The Steady State Theory states that our universe looks the same from every spot in it and at every time. A steady state universe has no beginning or end. Bondi and Gold suggested that in order to understand the universe we need to observe its distant parts. To interpret these observations we must use the laws of physics. For Bondi and Gold the laws of physics would have to be the same in all parts of the universe and at all times. The Steady State Theory states that although the universe is expanding, it does not change its look over time.
