i have always wondered what caused the big bang to happen...a teacher told me it was because of something being compressed to a point of exploding.he also told me that before the big bang,there was nothing.just never ending nothingness.but,you need something to compress something,you need something to end to be compressed.im very confused,plese help!

Your teacher????hmmm......well, anyway someone gave you an explanation about something that is niether fact or fiction. It is no more than an idea (theory) the answer is imaginary. Although I believe imagination is the inspiration for many and most ideas and things that we have today. In this case confusion is the outcome. (You are assuming that there actually was a big bang. )No one know's, it is all theory. Quit being confused over something that once pondered upon should be let go of. There are far greater things to wonder and ponder on in the present. Your time, effort, and abilities would far better serve the universe if you were to solve some problem or situation that is occurring right now. Who know's you may someday be in the history books with some idea that helped your fellowman. Make this a great day! Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. What will you do with the time that's left?

In the beginning was a formless wasteland and darkness covered the abyss. Then God said "Let there be Light."
Your teacher was right, except for the part about there being nothing. All matter is comprised of energy. All that energy was compressed into one solid mass. The Big Bang occurred and all that matter is floating all over the universe. There will be a time when it compresses again. The universe expands and contracts. When it expands all the way out, it will begin to contract. When it contracts all the way, BANG!
Do you know what static is? It's the echo of the big bang.
When you hold a conch shell to your ear and you can hear the ocean--you are hearing the echo of the big bang. That's only theory.

Be not confused. But then a little confusion is not all bad. You continue to question and that is good. God exists in a realm beyond our physical world where time and space are measurable, so He had to actually slow things down to give us what we have called a "big" bang. Science does a great job of ending ignorance of this phyiscal world. Even our written language(s) have limitations - just do not stop questioning...

The big bang theory was first postulated by George Glamow, and if your teacher requires more information try the Encyclopaedia of Space from National Geographic. An excellent book easily understandable by laymen on all things astronomical.

Probably the first question we should ask is: How did we ever came up with the term 'nothing' if everywhere around us is 'something' especially if you believe Big Bang exploded into 'something'. If we cannot really define 'nothing', how then can we comprehend what was before Big Bang?

Big Bang Theory might not be the way it happened.
Cyclic Universe Theory is probably a more likely scenario as to what happened. This theory addresses the issues causing your confusion.

Asymmetry in the pure vaccum caused the release of energy known as the big bang.....or as i like to call it....the horrendous kablooie

I never believed in the big bang theorie, but I can tell you what controls everything in space; gravity and dark matter, that is what makes everything happen. one pulls against the other to what ever happens. as far as the big bang goes I think that was a mad scientists wet dream.
