"Big Bang Theory" --Confirmed by Chemistry of Milky Way's Oldest Stars

Using observations of ancient stars with W. M. Keck Observatory’s 10-meter telescope and state-of-the-art models of their atmospheres has shown that there is no conflict between their lithium-6 and lithium-7 content and predictions of the standard theory of Big Bang nucleosynthesis, restoring thus the order in our theory of the early universe. The team, led by Karin Lind of the University of Cambridge, has proven the decades-old inventory relied on lower quality observational data with analysis using several simplifications that resulted in spurious detections of lithium isotopes. The fundamental observations that corroborate the Big Bang 13.8 billion years agoare the cosmic microwave radiation and the chemical abundances of the light elements described in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis theory.
