The standard model of the early universe and the observations that support it: the Big Bang theory, cosmic inflation, nucleosynthesis, the cosmic microwave background, reionization, the Lambda-CDM model, Hubble's law, redshift and the cosmic distance ladder. A concept belongs here when its cited article defines part of this picture or a measurement behind it. Members are placed here from their own cited Wikipedia articles, each with a verbatim supporting quotation, so a reader can check why an entry sits in this group. The grouping forms part of the browse path for this section of the atlas.

The Big Bang is a physical theory that describes how the universe expanded from an early state of high density and temperature.
Cosmic inflation (Wikipedia)

In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation, or just inflation, is a theory of exponential expansion of space in the very early universe.
Hubble's law (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Hubble's Law, Lead sentenceQuote, Has Member: Hubble's Law, Lead sentence
Hubble's law, officially the Hubble-Lemaître law, is the observation in physical cosmology that galaxies are moving away from Earth at speeds proportional to their distance.
Big Bang nucleosynthesis (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Lead sentenceQuote, Has Member: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Lead sentence
In physical cosmology, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (also known as primordial nucleosynthesis, and abbreviated as BBN) is a model for the production of light nuclei (including, but not limited to, 2H, 3He, 4He, and 7Li) during the first ~20 minutes of the evolution of the universe.
Cosmic distance ladder (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Cosmic Distance Ladder, Lead sentenceQuote, Has Member: Cosmic Distance Ladder, Lead sentence
The cosmic distance ladder (also known as the extragalactic distance scale) is the succession of methods by which astronomers determine the distances to celestial objects.
Lambda-CDM model (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Lambda-CDM Model, Lead sentenceQuote, Has Member: Lambda-CDM Model, Lead sentence
The Lambda-CDM, Lambda cold dark matter, or ΛCDM model is the standard form of the Big Bang theory of cosmology governing the chronology of the universe.
Reionization (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Reionization, Lead sentenceQuote, Has Member: Reionization, Lead sentence
In the fields of Big Bang theory and cosmology, reionization is the process that caused electrically neutral atoms in the primordial universe to reionize after the lapse of the "dark ages".
