Has the sound of the Big bang reached us yet? If no, what impact will it have when it arrives?

Answer 1

Sound? In space? Err, ok, let's take that metaphorically. We ARE the sound of the big bang.

Answer 2

A great question. Part of the problem in dealing with it is the false assumption of some sort of point of origin for the Big Bang. The Big Bang happened everywhere in the universe at the same time. It was nothing like what we think of as an explosion.

The energy remnant of the Big Bang has been found and is called the cosmic background radiation. It comes from everywhere, not just one direction. There are tiny ripples in this radiation which we have been able to measure that show us the structure of this early stage of the universe.

Answer 3

Just a thought here... Warren brings up the idea of "echoes" from the BB. Since those radio pulses left the BB at it's leading edge as space was created one would assume that the universe was created at the speed of light. If this were true then it would be impossible to have an "echo" of the original pulse as there would be nothing for it to be returned from since nothing exists in it's path (yet) to reflect it. If on the other hand the universe expanded at less than the speed of light, even slightly, those original pulses may have reflected back from the forefront of the original wave thus producing these echoes. The BB is a fun theory but science still has a long way to go before it can resolve many issues regarding it.

Answer 4

The sound of the Big Bang has already reached Earth. 1% of the fuzz you see if you have a TV which is not tuned into a channel is radiation from the big bang.

Answer 5

Yes, there was a type of "Sound" of the Big Bang. Go here and check it out yourself.

I've noticed that there are a lot of WRONG answers people gave you on this subject. The Universe is NOT 11 billion years old. And YES, the Big Bang WAS real and has also been PROVEN.

Answer 6

Yes. If you tune your TV out so It's not receiving any channel you will see a fuzzy screen. That is the background radiation from the big bang. Special receivers can pick up the sound, It sounds like white noise.

Answer 7

Assuming that the Big Bang theory is correct, everything that exists was created by it, and therefore, the "sound" of it was created at the same time.
You don't actually get "sound" in space, but there would have been a radio pulse moving outwards at the speed of light. It would not be possible that we could be "down wind" of that pulse, but we do still get echos of that all the time.

Answer 8

There is no sound associated with the big bang!!! This is because the vacuum of space and space itself

Our planet and the planets in the universe were created because of the big bang. The big bang is in my opinion and infinite collapsing of a universe. In other words, it creates itself due to its destruction...pretty recursive.

Ofcourse this is all theory so take it with a pinch of salt.

Answer 9

Even if there was sound in space, the big bang theoretically occured like 11 billion years ago. Our solar system an planet formed because of it, and therefore, the "sound", would have happened then

Answer 10

The "sound" of the Big Bang is alwase around us, just turn your TV or radio without a station, the static you recive is the "sound" of the Big Bang that is called "Background Radiation".

(All this is acording to current Big Bang theory...)

Answer 11

well the universe is expanding, if you're looking for that sound you'd have to go to the outskirts of the universe, but then again, the B B is just a theory, not proven fact. In any case I think the sound would have been absorved by particles and not be audible anymore. O ya off course I forgot sound waves do not travel in a vacuum, so , no Thanks for interesting question
