And there were no ears either. The right name should be "big flash"

They're right, it's just an expression.
Well.. actually, come to think of it, after matter started forming, there would have been a hell of a lot of it in a pretty small space. Think of everything in the universe crammed into a box a couple light years across. The Universe was more like 'cramped' than 'space'. So, there probably would have been plenty to vibrate and more than enough energy flying every-which-way, from the massive annialation of matter and anti-matter.
I'm guessing it was pretty deafening.
And in a very real way, you can still see and hear the Big Bang and probaly do every day.
Change the Raido or your TV to a static channel. That static is the background radiation of the universe. Energy that's reverberated throught all known creation since the Big Bang. That's how much energy was left over.
Not only could you hear it then, but it was so fuckin loud, you can still hear it NOW.

the big bang does not mean a big sound only scientists believe that the big bang was caused by the collision between 2 particles moving at very high speeds the particles are called antimatter the name big bang not only means the sound but the process of the collision and who knew everything was created by the big bang space could have been very much different that what it is right now after all the universe is in a constant process of change.
hope this has answered ur question

There was a bang sound just there is no air in space for the sound to travel to anyone to hear it.
If you was in a room with all the air pumped out and you spoke no-one would hear you although your voice made a sound.

There was a "big bang", and *then* there was space. Before space, all sorts of noise could happen, apparently. If you hang around to the "big crunch" you'll find out.

Sound is caused by vibration. There is no air in space therefore there is nothing to vibrate.
The 'big bang' is just to suggest there was an explosion like event. the stars spreading quickly in many different directions. it's just an expression!

There is strong evidene of the big bang but my question is what will happen in the big crunch we have sound now. Any ideas?

Because it wasn't really a "bang" - just a sudden and massive expansion.
The word bang is used for the want of a better one.

The term "Big Bang" was coined by the astronomer Fred Hoyle, who didn't like the theory. He was trying to be dismissive when he called it that, but the name stuck.

It was an explosion. There was no sound.
Your question should have been why do they call it the Big Bang.
Because Enormous Explosion is too long
