I don't get the big bang theory, it doesn't make any sense, why?

Question

because for one where did the star that blew up in the big bang come from, where was it's beginning. Here's what I think, tell me if I'm right or wrong! we are made up of tons of tiny single celled organisms right. Well they didn't come from the big bang, because that star, must have been made up by tons and tons of single celled organisms. So, acording to string theory, atoms are created by little strings that vibrate, and single celled organisms are made up of atoms, right. Well, maybe vibrations have always existed, maybe we are made up of energy, and maybe this energy is infinite and non determinable, thus this energy has existed since forever, and always will exist. I think that religion, is just our way of conecting our selves back to this energy, so that we too can live on as energy. Besides our existince is not purely physical, but purely mental and purely energy.

Answer 1

Energy has always existed. During the Big Bang, this energy turned into matter. It turned into the atoms. The very first elements were the lighter elements Helium which formed into Hydrogen... Every star from the big bang contains mostly He + H.. In the star is enough heat to cause nucleur reaction to occur and form heavier elements... These transfer to the next generations of stars, which can be hotter, and create still heavier elements, which are the same elements that exist in our bodies... The Big Bang occured Everywhere in the Universe at the same time... The Universe is infinitly large, and is only expanding as time expands.. The stars at the edge of the universe that appear to be forming today, really formed from the Big Bang, and we are just barely being able to see it... Basically, when we look to the edge of the Universe, we are looking back in time. But that's not the only way the Universe is expanding... The universe is also expanding in an outward position.. We can observe redshifts from galaxies which indicate that they are moving away from us (Except for andromeda, gravity is causing this solar system to collide with our solar system)... Redshift is a doppler effect... And it's kind of hard to explain without pictures... But a redshift means the object is moving away from us and a blue shift means it is moving toward us.... You see stars and galaxies emit waves... If an object is not moving away or toward us, those waves come at us at the same wavelength.. But if it is moving away from us, those waves come back at longer wavelengths, moving them toward the red side of the spectrum... If they are moving toward us, the wave lengths shortens toward the blue side of the spectrum.... Every galaxy shows a redshift (except Andromeda). So, what this means is... The universe is expanding, not because new galaxies are forming, but because galaxies are all moving farther away from eachother (unless they are close enough to other galaxies that gravity will over come and merge the two galaxies together)... A way to look at this expansion is to place dots on a balloon and blow it up.. You will see every dot on the balloon expanding away from eachother... Man, I don't know what I'm saying anymore... You should take an Astronomy class...

The point is, we see the expansion of the universe as evidense for the Big Bang theory, and we also see that the Big Bang has left a microwave background heat.. When you cook something in the microwave, you take the food out and put your hand in, you can feel the heat left behind... We can observe that in the universe.

I don't know anything about string theory so I can't say anything about it.... Where can I find information on that?

In conclusion, yes energy has always existed...

Answer 2

Most astronomers would say that the debate is now over. Three reason cause me to believe in the Big Bang, or as i call it the Horrendous Kablooie:

1. First, and most obvious, the universe is expanding, as observed by the so-called 'red-shift' light when looking at distant galaxies, a product of the doppler effect.

2. 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.

3. 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.

We're 10-15 billion years away from the beginning of known existence.....from the singular event known as the horrendous kablooie......

Astronomers are still pondering dark matter, dark energy and the flatness of space-time. Will there be a big crunch or will the galaxies continue to expand. In trillions upon trillions of years, the sky will be filled only by the Milky Way stars, all the galaxies will be too far away or consumed by black holes/darkness....a vast cold, dark and lonely place.

Until there's a better theory to fit the observations, i'll go with the Horrendous Kablooie, i'm always open for new evidence. To jump to the supernatural explanation does not make sense.

Answer 3

If your are asking about how something was created from "basically" nothing to create something that turned into the big bang than I can only say this: many scientists today believe that the combination of matter and antimatter is what created the energy that turned into the big bang. What happens is that when matter would create, it would autmatically de-create because of the antimatter, and over time this constant juggle of matter being created and antimatter de-creating is what cause friction and eventually enough energy to create the big bang.
Another interesting theory I have read about is that of parellel universes. The universes are basically like all existing right next to each other (parellel) and when they become too close, they bump and create more universes. Where did these parellel universes come from? We don't have a scientific knowledge or even capacity to understand that just yet, but someday we will.

Answer 4

The big bang (named by George Gamow in the 40's or 50's) is the popular (among astrophysicists) explanation for the apparent expansion of the universe, which is the accepted explanation of the Hubble red shift. There's no explanation, though, of why the bang occurred.

Don't get so carried away with "purely." Nothing's that pure. It's an oversimplification.

Answer 5

you seem not entirely unintelligent, but you are all over the board. you may benefit from reading more. there are so many exhorbitantly wrong things in your post that I can't start to correct you. just get some books. buy a copy of "A Brief History of Time" and start borrowing other books from library. Hawkings gives an excellent explanation of why "where did it all come from" is an inappropriate question.

Some of the things you are saying are right, it's just that you're missing the whole picture.

Time begins when space begins. Does that help?

Answer 6

Your right; you do not get the big bag theory. It was not a star, but an incredibly dense form of matter. I do not know where to begin with the rest of your " positing ", so I suggest you engage a tutor that is cognizant of these matters.

Answer 7

First.. think: nothing is perfect.. so then you may understand that "space" is/was never a perfect "nothing" - ah.. so.. then we can maybe imagine a difference in potential energies.. + and - and then.. a quantum fluctuation.. and the beginning of all we have today... no deity was involved.

Answer 8

Your idea of vibrations or energy that have simply always existed is no easier for me to stomach than a star who's origin we don't know, or a ball of matter that always existed.

Answer 9

That star that blew up was a star formed by the remains of the last universe when it compressed and ended.

Answer 10

THat's the point with theory.
It's designed to get you to think.
At the end of the day, you must decide.
Evolution or Creation Theory...both cannot exist.
