but something cant start from nothing

It wasn't two atoms that started the big bang. The Big Bang was the expansion of space that started from an infinitely small point of density that suddenly burst forth with all the gunk that was necessary to create the space and universe we all live in. Where ever that came from is any body's guess. Atoms weren't around till more than 380,000 years later.

Your statement, "...something can't start from nothing," may be true in the space-time continuum we inhabit. However, the Big Bang took place "before" space and time came into being so the same rules don't apply. The fact is we don't know, and may never know, what rules did apply before the universe was born. I like to think that Being and Nothingness are like conjoined twin sisters who, simply put, always ARE, and that Being is the sister who has been chattering away ever since the Big Bang with her twin unable to get a word in edgewise. But one of these days Nothingness may yet get the upper hand and dominate the conversation.

There were no atoms that started the big bang....
THe big bang occured at t=0, when the entire universe was a single point. Then it "banged" and that was the Big Bang

Let me clarify one thing to you. No one was there and we can all only predict what happened during times on the plank scale. One thing we do know for sure is that nothing existed before, during, and even the first few seconds/hours after the big bang. The real question we should be asking ourselves is this; is our universe static, with a not so clear but present boundary? Or is it infinite? Will it one day start a "big crunch"?

Sometimes the starting "stuff" of the universe is referenced as a "singularity", not two atoms or even one which came years later universal evolution. As for wherefrom the singularity, that is the stuff of regularly published articles in mags like Scientific American, ect. Because you and I were in a sense there at the Big Bang, since the material we are was there, do YOU remember? I don't. (I joke)

There were no atoms during the Big Bang. Just elementary particles...

Hi. Atoms couldn't exist during the Big Bang. Way too hot. Are you thinking maybe quarks?

I think you're confused. Atoms did not start the big bang. Nothing went "bang" for that matter - it's a colossal misnomer.

1st there was always atoms and protons and whatever it takes to form matter. as far as the big bang theory did you ever see order come out of an explosion. no and no one else has either.
