Big Bang Theorists: I'd like to see you get over this obstace. Do you have a legitimate answer?

Question

If the law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither destroyed, nor created, then what was the source of the energy for your proposed Big Bang? Yes, perhaps the universe could have collapsed on it's self to create the very center again IF your theory is true, but how did that energy get there in the first place for the first "Big Bang" if one ever even existed?

By the way, yes I am against the Big Bang Theory.

Answer 1

what came before the big bang is outside of the scope of the theory.

the big bang deals with the after affects not the prior conditions.

although, clearly, what you want to hear is "we don't know" so that someone can say "duh zomg its god you stupid science people the bible rulz"

Answer 2

First of all, quantum physics states that particles can come from nothing, then annihalate back into nothing and that this must occur in any kind of vacuum; the law of Conservation of Energy does not apply at the quantum level which would be consistent with the Big Bang Theory, because according to this theory, all the matter/energy in the universe was in a very tiny volume on a par that would be dealt with at the quantum level.
As for the oscillating universe theory, the universe was always here and always will be. The Big Bang would have been the result of a previous collapse which is part of an infinite cycle in both directions.
Personally, I don't believe in any of it either. I believe the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Answer 3

That's no obstacle. The energy from which the universe is made always existed, but for the universe to form from that energy, a threshold of order had to be exceeded.

There is only one meaningful tautology, namely: existence exists. Existence has no alternative, and, there being no alternative, it is.

Furthermore, existence and energy are the same thing. Let's be clear on that. Existence does not merely "entail" energy; existence IS energy. Which means (chain rule) that energy exists, inasmuch as there can be nothing and no place from which energy is absent.

But, as I said above, the tautological nature of the existence of energy is not the whole reason for the existence of universes, ours included. There is the further matter of a minimum degree of order. Existence has no logically necessary form, and, having none, it occurs at random in the form of vacuum fluctuations.

The thing about randomness is that it does not have any will about it. It does not act to preclude order. The rarity of order in randomness is wholly a statistical result. But, rare though it is, occasionally a highly ordered state comes about through random processes, such as vacuum fluctuations.

Our universe came into existence when enough energy randomly appeared in a small place, such that an event horizon formed around it, and the energy fell into its own black hole.

We perceive this event horizon as "the beginning of time," which is when the Big Bang happened. The Big Bang wasn't a "bomb," in the sense that any intelligent being put it there to explode. Rather, the energy gathered somewhere else and formed this universe by falling out of wherever it had been, by its own watch, "before" the beginning of time.

Once the primordial energy of our universe was under the event horizon, it had no way to return to that other place. It was, however, highly wound up and had to find some means of relaxation. The Big Bang was that means. Some of the energy formed into particles by pair production. Some of it became the motion of the particles relative to each other. Some of it became "space" through which the particles came to be scattered. And most of the rest remained as radiation, which can be observed to this day as cosmic background noise.

Answer 4

You may wish to study M-theory and its implications for universe formation (including the Big Bang phenomenom).

Your underlying argument is a "chicken or the egg" question. For you to have an issue with conservation of energy and cosmology, you must believe there was a zero state from which to begin. What if there was never a zero state? What if...what is, always was?

The Big Bang was merely a result of collisional fluctuations in the extradimensional space of M-theory's membranes.

Answer 5

A) That law is outdated. We now know that virtual particles pop in and out of existence all the time.

B) The physics at the big bang are completely different from the physics no. All the 4 forces were prob combined into one and spplit after the "bang". Just like out physics break down in a black hole, so they do at the bang. We need more study.

And if you are TRULY serious about wanting an answer to this question. Why don't you go to an astrophysics newsgroup where experts hang out? Why troll around here with us amateurs provoking? Seriously, are you afraid of the experts?

Answer 6

String Theory, our dimension "bumped" into another creating a massive worlmhole which sucked through all the material that is in our universe today with such a massive force that it caused what is known as the Big Bang.

Answer 7

Dude, you don't get it. The Bible is not a science book, stop treating it that way. Science books are not trying to explain why things happen, only how. The Bible encompasses all time, science books keep learning more and more but they are not complete.

Stop confusing the two!!! you may realize that they are not mutually exclusive.

Answer 8

Go and read "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, then come back with a more reasoned argument.

If you don't want to buy it you can read it online here

A wonderful read.

Answer 9

Big bang sure makes a lot more sense than the fairy tales of god and religion and all that crap.

Answer 10

This question is on par with 'Who created God'.
