Question

Which one of the following statements is not accepted as a part of the current picture of the universe?

Early in the history of the universe, there was only one fundamental force.

The weak electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum that bathes the earth provides evidence of the Big Bang theory.

Hubble's law indicates that a galaxy located at a distance d from the earth is moving away from the earth at a speed that is inversely proportional to d.

The universe is expanding.

The universe began with a cataclysmic event known as the Big Bang.

Answer 1

The universe is surely expanding as galaxies are moving away so, we can eliminate option (d)

Yes, universe started as a big bang and there was only one fundamental force so, we can eliminate (a) and (e)

The only wrong option seems to be " Hubble's law indicates that a galaxy located at a distance d from the earth is moving away from the earth at a speed that is inversely proportional to d "

Because we know that there is a direct relationship between distance of galaxy and its velocity, not inverse relationship.

Therefore, Answer is

Hubble's law indicates that a galaxy located at a distance d from the earth is moving away from the earth at a speed that is inversely proportional to d
