Olbers’ paradox.<br />

The Big-Bang solution<br />

• In the Big Bang model the<br />

Universe is finite in TIME<br />

(13.7 billion years)<br />

• This means that we can<br />

only see as far away as<br />

light has had time to<br />

travel<br />

• Furthermore stars were<br />

not always shining (the<br />

sun for example is 4.5<br />

Gyrs old).
