What does the dark night sky serve as strong evidence supporting?
The Big Bang model over a static, eternal universe model
The observation of a profoundly dark night sky stands as a crucial piece of empirical evidence favoring a dynamic model of the cosmos over the static, infinite universe model originally assumed in the paradox. The darkness directly implies that either space is not infinite in extent, or time is not eternal, or both. Because the universe had a beginning (the Big Bang) and is expanding, the conditions required for the paradox (an eternal, unchanging environment where every line of sight hits a star) are fundamentally violated. The dark sky affirms that we reside in an evolving cosmos where looking outward means looking backward in time to an era when the light sources were not yet fully distributed or visible.
