The paradox Olbers Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers German astronomer by 1826 in formulated physical paradox that was previouslyJohannes Kepler (1610 in), and Halley and Cheseaux (the 18th century described) as well. The paradox is that if the universe is infinite, we'd have an infinite number of stars light of the result The combination of the sky at night it should be clear to all.However, experience to the contrary.

Assumptions [edit | edit source text]
If
1. the universe is infinite,
2. an infinite number of evenly spaced stars included,
We can look in any direction, overlooking the star should be. The gloss is independent of the distance, so the night sky should be as bright as the surface of a star.
We also need to do the above, if we take …show more content…
His argument is not complete, as we shall see.
Attempts to resolve the paradox [edit | edit source text]
An attempt at explanation assumes that the universe is not transparent, and the light from distant stars shaded powders, gases and dark orbs, so not a great distance to reach us in the light. In fact, it does not resolve the paradox, because the first law of thermodynamics thermodynamics, according to the energy required to remain so in the intermediate material shall forrósodnia, and will be illuminated (thermal radiation). This again would result in a uniform radiation in all directions.
The paradox of Edgar Allan Poe, the famous American poet and writer in 1848 in trying to explain it to the finite speed of light is moving through space. The finite speed of light the star could not proceed further light-years, measured as the number of years of the star.
"... The távcsöveinkben pointed to the countless directions emptiness can only be explained if we assume that the invisible background so great depth to the radiation from the future has not yet reached us." [1]
The explanation is that the universe had a beginning in time, so it can not be infinite in …show more content…
Similarly, if the universe is expanding and distant stars become more distant from us (this is the Big Bang theory is an assertion), the light in the shifted towards red, which reduces the power of light, this leads to the paradox unlock again. However, the two effects capable of separately resolving the paradox, the big bang theory, according to the combined effects; the finite nature of time is more important effect. Some believe that the darkness of the night sky is supported by the Big Bang
