Both the Red and Blue shifts are qualities of the doppler effect. Expansion of the universe is demonstrated via the redshift of galactic clusters (outside of the local galactic cluster which hosts the Milky Way galaxy). Contraction (or attraction) of interlocal galactic clusters is demonstrated via the blue shift.

Edwin Hubble, using the Hubble telescope, is credited with the discovery that the distances to far away galaxies were generally proportional to their redshifts (as in the doppler effect); an idea which was originally predicted by Lemaître in 1927. Hubble's observation was taken to indicate that all very distant galaxies and clusters have an apparent velocity directly away from our vantage point: the farther away, the higher the apparent velocity.

The discovery and mapping of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) via WMAP mission has been interpreted as being left over from the Big Bang. It provides support for the hypothesis of a hot dense state at the beginning and also provided measurements to explain that galactic clusters are still moving away from each other at an ever increasing acceleration. WMAP's measurements played the key role in establishing the current Standard Model of Cosmology: the Lambda-CDM model. In the Lambda-CDM model of the observable universe, the age of the observable universe is 13.772 ± 0.059 billion years.

How are the big bang and the Doppler shift related?

they both in outer space i really dont know.


Is the big bang theory supported by the blue violet shift?

Outside of our Local Group, no galaxy gives off light that exhibits a blue-shift. You most likely meant to say "red shift."


How might the redshift indicate there is evidence for the big bang theory?

The red shift doesn't just indicate that there is evidence for the Big Bang theory: the Hubble red shift is evidence supporting the Big Bang theory.


What model supported by red shift?

The Big Bang Model!


Is the red-shift responsible for the big bang theory?

No, it's the other way round. The Big Bang is responsible for the redshift.


How is the big bang theory related to artificial intelligence?

It's not - the big bang theory is related to the creation of the Universe, AI is related to human thought.


The big bang hypothesis explains?

Hubble's red shift observation.
