The Big Bang theroy?

Question

Please explain if the universe was a tiny thing then explanded into a huge space then why does it contractice the "mass cannot be created nor destoryed "

Sorry for my poor spelling.....
scientist think us christian are crazy they should see what they are saying..

Answer 1

The big bang theory is a THEORY of those who refuse to believe the truth because they do not want to change their lifestyles. God created the earth in 7 days. The end.

Answer 2

Anyone who uses the term "it's just a theory" to answer you or any other science related question has no clue what the scientific definition of "theory" is. In common usage there is a downward scale of certainty from fact to theory to hypothesis to guess. In science there are known facts, and then theories are used to organize and explain those facts, usually including known mechanisms, etc. Debate about theory does not change the facts being explained, whether its the theory of the big bang, evolution, gravity, or whatever.

Nobody claims that a thing of any size caused the big bang. All of the energy was already there in a perfectly balanced state of negation (quantum vacuum), like a sine wave and a cosine wave together negate each other to make a straight line. At some point that symmetry between all the different possible field states broke, and the universe emerged. Physicists are still working out the mechanics of quantum symmetry breaking. The quantum vacuum has always contained more (virtual) matter/energy than has ever been expressed in the universe - it's called zero point energy and/or virtual particles. Mass itself has been shown to be a product of interaction between manifest quanta and the vacuum. Thus, the expression of the universe was a degradation of the original state, not a "creation" of anything.

Answer 3

Contractice isn't a word. I think you might mean contradict. In any case, the theory doesn't imply that there is more or less matter. It simply proposes that the matter that's currently flung across the universe was at one time quite condensed.
The theory came about as an explanation for the evidence that scientists found that the universe is expanding.
By the way, about the whole "God" thing: Nothing about the Big Bang says the universe wasn't created by a supreme being. Mabe not a creator whose book forgot to mention dinosaurs, thought the planets revolved around the Earth, or teaches that women are not to speak in church (1 Corinthians), or it's better to rape and murder a concubine than to be rude to visiting strangers (Judges 19)--but that doesn't rule out a supreme being entirely.

Answer 4

Accurately explaining the intracacies of the world's most cutting edge physics is certainly beyond me. Similarly, comprehension of the same is likely beyond people who fail to grasp the difference between volume and mass to begin with.

What you need to know is this: the Big Bang theory makes multiple falsifiable claims about the universe which sets it apart from any purely faith based or pseudoscientific explanation. It is the most rational and consistent explanation for the legion of observations we have of the natural world. This should not surprise us since the theory is continually refined as we increase our ability to measure the smallest particles and fatherest objects of the heavens.

The Big Bang is also not inconsistent with non-fundamentalist Christianity, and in fact is more consistent with Chrstiantity then the previous scientific model (the Steady State theory).
What is most ironic is that the fundamentalists often resort to propping up the Steady State theory so long favored by atheist Soviet scientists.

Answer 5

Think of it this way. Mass can exist in very concentrated forms, somewhat like water molecules in an ice cube, as well as how matter exists in space, very spread out. Ice is compressed, and the molecules aren't moving around very much. Intense pressure and heat will cause the matter to gain energy, and they will become more active. Eventually, the molecules from the "ice cube" will have "melted and evaporated" and instead of being very compact, fill a very large space. There is no gas in space, just emptiness in between objects, so it is easy to imagine how much smaller all that matter would be if it were compacted. This is by no means a scientific answer, or even a really good example, but I'm tired and don't really feel like trying.

Answer 6

Two things:

1) That law does not always work. Singularities and virtual particles don't follow them, for instance. Remember - these laws came from places, after all.

2) Once it was small it had all the energy it has now - your question is like saying "I had a canister of gas under pressure - I used it to blow up a big balloon. If the tiny thing then expanded into a huge space, does that contradict the 'mass can neither be createed nor destroyed' rule"

Answer 7

I think that it's energy that can neither be created nor destroyed. Sice the big bang theory suggests that atomic particles collided (Fusion) to create the universe, it would be within the confines of the theory. However, it is said that cosmic dust began slamming and fusing together to create stellar objects. It's all a bit wishy washy to me, and sounds a little chaotic to be used in actual principle. There was a lot more orchestration involved.

Answer 8

I think you could fit all the protons and electrons in your body into the SPACE of a single atom, or thereabouts... The universe is a lot of very tiny pieces of matter very far apart from each other, even in dense objects. That aside, if mass were energy, I suppose it would take up even less space...

Answer 9

The important thing to realize is that the universe and our world is a physical existence and God is Spirit and our future is a spiritual existence in a spiritual realm. What ever process the universe evolved or was created by rest assured that God used that process to achieve His will and ends and that is important. Scientist concern themselves so much with the physical world that they ignore the spiritual realm that co-exist with it and in which God rules and reigns. Regardless of how the universe began you can believe God created it and rules over it.

Answer 10

I'm assuming you mean "why doesn't it contradict...", if I'm incorrect, I apologize.

It is my understanding, but I am not an astrophysicist, that all the matter of the universe was in that singularity, in a ridiculously compact form. Also, there is a second part to the conservation of mass/energy law. Matter and energy can not be created or destroyed, but one can be converted to the other.

Answer 11

Think of the gravity of the whole universe if it was all condensed into one area, such force would be needed to seperate it, over a trillion times stronger then any force man can create.

Also where did the energy come from? The big bang theory contradicts the law of thermodynamics which is a proven law.

Also, the universe is expanding, did you know its increasing in speed rather then slowing down? how does that fit into things?

Also according to scientists, the universe is about 9 billion years old, according to the relativity of galaxies etc and the big bang theory, Yet they have discovered stars which seem over 14 billion years old.

The big bang theory was disproven decades ago, why it is still taught in text books i have no idea.
