the big bang might well have been a big whimper with a lots of rhythmic productive actions with time and discipline playing a vital role. what is beyond universe is not within the scope of human imagination.

The Big Bang theory is NOT about the creation of the universe. It is about its evolution (it behavior) AFTER the expansion had already begun. In fact, the Big Bang theory does not even try to explain where the original energy came from. The theory simply assumes that the energy was already there and was already expanding. It only explains what happens during the expansion (which is still going on). In that way, it is still the best theory to explain the behavior we can observe. It is still completely useless if you try to use it to explain how the universe began (meaning how or why the initial energy came about). --- For a while, it was called a theory about the "creation" of the universe, not because it explained the creation, but simply because the theory implies that the universe (as we know it and see it) did not always exist. Therefore (we conclude) there must have been a creation. This was in opposition to the only other serious theory at the time, called Steady State, which claimed that the universe had always existed, for an eternity in the past (no creation). But the Big Bang theory is silent about the creation itself. It only deals with what happens AFTER.

Most astronomers would say that the debate is now over:
Three excellent reasons exist for believing in the big-bang theory.
First, and most obvious, the universe is expanding. The 'red-shift' in the wavelength of radiation emitted by the galaxies indicate an expanding universe.
Second, the theory predicts that 25 percent of the total mass of the universe should be the helium that formed during the first few minutes, an amount that agrees with observations.
Finally, and most convincing, is the presence of the cosmic background radiation. The big-bang theory predicted this remnant radiation, which now glows at a temperature just 3 degrees above absolute zero, well before radio astronomers chanced upon it.

astronomers have observed that the distances between galaxies (esp. mailky way to other galaxies) are growing bigger. and the most distant galaxies are moving faster away from us. it's a proof for big bang.
about the end point of the universe, i think there is none because there's a theory about Curvature of Space which says that if we travel straight, we will arrive at the same point as we have been even though we thought we had traveled straight. that's because of the mass of the universe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature_of_space
we all know that a certain mass which is rotating will possess a gravitational pull. so since the universe has mass (mass of objects in the universe), its shape may then be curved. its real shape is still undetermined since we can only observe a small part of the whole universe.

The Big Bang is the most widely accepted theory....the alternative was the "Steady State" theory, and that was debunked once the BB's initial radiation was first detected in the 60s (and discovered by accident!)
"The ends" are wherever space and time "begin" and "end"...where there are objects called "singularities". The beginning singularity is the time and place of the BB...the "end" singularities are where ever there exists a black hole. If you were to fall into a black hole (and actually live through the experience), you'd find that once at the singularity, TIME WILL ACTUALLY STOP from your perception.
So there is no getting "beyond" our own universe.

Yes the Big Bang has been found to be the most accurate of all the "universe creation theories". To the poster above me, the "steady state" theory has been completely discredited, and is not judged to be accurate. If the universe existed forever (that is had no beginning) we should be able to see infinite number of stars in the night sky and night should be bright as day. This is not the case as we all see.
The 2nd question: there is no "end" to the universe. It's a mistaken belief or assumption if people think that. It is continuously expanding like a blowing balloon. If you were an ant on the surface of that ballon and you started running on it, would you reach the "end" or "limit" of the ballon? No, because it does not have one. Our universe is like that, even if you were to travel at the speed of light (which in itself is impossible for you), you could not "outrun" the universe expansion and arrive at its end to watch it "come towards you" or anything like that.
Hope this helps!

The big bang theory is exactly that: a theory. As far as the end when we travel beyond the universe; the universe is all inclusive, meaning you cannot go beyond the universe. The nice thing about theories is that we can choose to believe or not to believe them based on the information presented to us. Unfortunately, we may never know if our beliefs are correct.

this is actually a common misconception about the big bang. the universe is not expanding into anything. the universe is four-dimensional, but a two-dimensional version may be something like the surface of a sphere. it is this surface that is expanding. the universe seems to be finite in size, yet it has no center and no edge. nothing, not even space-time, seems to exist "outside" the universe. the big bang was the entire universe, and everywhere in the universe was once the big bang. the big bang was not an exploding object in empty space.
the earliest, or oldest, radiation we can observe is the cosmic microwave background, and we see it in every direction we look, but the universe was much smaller at that time. the universe had expanded and cooled enuf for electrons and atomic nuclei, about 74 percent hydrogen and 26 percent helium, to combine and form neutral atoms. before this time the universe was much like a heavy fog, but when atoms formed, there were no free electrons to scatter light, and the universe became transparent. today, we see this light stretched to microwave wavelengths by the expansion of space-time.
everyone can blame fred hoyle for inadvertently naming the big bang theory with a dismissive remark on BBC radio in 1949.

I dont belive in big bang theory for creation of universe..I belive that the entire universe is like ball it might be confusing to understand but when u fix a point and rotate it u get a circle when u rotate a circle u get a sphere..but universe is when u rotate a spear its a never ending thing as u travel out to space ur travelling out of sphere and as u keep travelling out u will reach the center and again start travelling outward similar to when we travell in circle we reach same point but here we will never reach the same point ever again....and there isnt one universe in this world now if we somehow manage to travell inward we will find many more universe....like if u go on scalling urself down........u can see many more places and there is no limit to wht u can reduce bcas as u go on reducing the proportion is maintained and then u would thing that universe is the earth...the bottom line is there was no big bang and universe existed forever and will do forever n forever...............there r thousands of universes within you only if u can discover......the problem of creation of universe is solved ages ago in bhagvatgita ...where krishna opens his mouth n ppl see the entire universe actually that is true and thats wht my theory says....there are infinite number of universes its only at which level ur like for humans its planets n stuff n for an ant our world will be an entire universe n so on n so forth so it depends on ur size whts and universe.........hope some day im able to convice few more people :D

Look! The universe is still expanding. You know that the explosion in universe is called the big-bang theory which created the universe. As I told you the universe is still expanding there is no way we can travel beyond universe.

I beleive the Big Bang theory provides the scientific evidence of the universe being created by God. One point started it all before that point one theory says (which is the one I beleive) there was nothing and the laws of physics were invalid (or non-existent depending how you look at it). The sigurlarity at the beginning of the Big Bang theory matches perfectly with the beginning of the biblical creation story.
