How does Einsteins theory of relativity prove that all space, time and matter came into existence at big bang?

Question

I read somewhere that Einstein's theory of relativity proves that all space, time and matter came into existence at the Big Bang, and that when the Big Bang happened, it happened in a singularity where the laws of physics did not apply.

Could I get a non-technical but still scientific explanation of how relativity proves space, time, and matter came into existence at the Big Bang? and I don't want to hear about "imaginary time," thanks

Answer 1

No. Observations of Hubble expansion and cosmic background radiation are the principle evidence of the BB. Dr. E's General Relativity only implies that the *simplest* universe possible (that is, one that is homogeneous and isotropic with zero cosmological constant) must either expand or contract. Since there's no law that says things must be simple, that's certainly no "proof". GR does, however, help provide a quantitative theoretical description of the observed expansion once it got started.

Answer 2

Agreeing with the other answerers, it doesn't. Einstein's "theory" is accepted, observable fact about gravitation and time and other physical dimensions such as mass and distance. It was first proved by observations in aberrations in the orbit of Mercury and has since been proved over and over in various experiments.

As others have said, it is not the GUT or grand unification theorem, mainly because it doesn't apply to sub-atomic particles.

Now, the Big Bang falls under cosmology and is really an unrelated study.

Answer 3

It is very dificult to prove that the Universe and all it mass structures and space structure came as a result of a rapid expansion from a common singularity.
It is more likely that the opposite took place. first of all the big bang does not explain the formation of the period table of elements and its compounds.
Then the formation of stars. and Sun let alone planet Earth and its biological life. All scientific explanations are basically in limbo.
Therefore concerning Creation Scientific theory does not impart any more reality that an indigenous native has in a primitive culture.
As far as Einstein is concerned he was never really understood any more than we can understand Niels Bohr's quantum mechanics.

Answer 4

no relationship. The theory of relativity is compatible with an original big bang, but does not necessarily imply it. Then, do not forget that Einstein kept looking for an unified theory of relativity, said a few things before his death which could have meant he found it, but never left any explainations about it. His relativity theory is only partial, does not explain the uncertainty or the quanta theory.

Answer 5

The theory of Big bang comes from the observed fact that everything in universe seams to be moving apart, hence it must have bean closer together in the past. If you extrapolate back in time, you will see that everything started in one place.

I don't think relativity proves big bang. Maybe it can be used to explain what happened at big bang, but I don't know how.

Answer 6

It doesn't!
