How was the Big Bang created?

Answer 1

Okay...before the big bang, there was an imploding universe. Everything was moving towards one center. Eventually everything got so compact that a tremendous explosion occurred (bigger than anything we can really comprehend). Every piece of matter in the universe was sent hurling outward with such force that we are still moving, billions of years after it happened.

Answer 2

Several theories out there of which two are more generally accepted today.

1) The Big Bang resulted from the rapid expansion of all matter in the Universe that was previously compressed to the size of a grapefruit or smaller. Where did this come from - a good question and probably not answerable at this stage in our knowledge of the universe. Perhaps a random fluctuation in an underlying quantum foam.

2) The Big Bang is the result of the collision of two multi-dimensional branes. Our universe exists on the surface of such a brane, there are potentially an infinite number of branes. From time to time these collide and the resulting energy creates a new universe.

Answer 3

That is the great question of our universe. Unfortunately, as we know the laws of physics now, it cannot be solved. The Big Bang started out as a singularity, or black hole, and erupted into a place with 3 dimensions.

There are two reasons we cannot say what the state of the universe was before the Big Bang: 1) we cannot gain any information about what is inside a singularity and 2) a singularity has no dimensions. We live in 3. It's impossible for us to imagine what a singularity is actually like. Since we can't detect what is in there and it exceeds our imagination, it is beyond our ability to say what is in there and, by extension, what created the Big Bang.

Answer 4

What caused the big bang is impossible to determine. The general theory of relativity tells us that all physical laws break down at a singularity, including the general theory of relativity. As the big bang, if it occurred, occurred at a singularity, which is a very small area with infinite mass, all physical laws are inapplicable. The result is we cannot determine anything before the big bang by the state of the universe after it. Nor can anything before the big bang influence anything after it. So, if the big bang in its classic form is true, we cannot tell what actually caused it to occur.
If you take into account quantum theory, M-theory, p-branes and so on, the big bang may not actually have been a big bang. As to how the universe started I think the jury is still out. We aren't even sure how many dimensions it exists in and whether there are shadow membranes of finite size or the membrane we exist on is infinite and warped.

Answer 5

Since Space did not exist before the Big Bang, you're asking in the wrong forum. Try Philosophy.

Answer 6

The Big Bang is only the point beyond which scientists cannot make any reasonable conjecture, so good luck figuring out the answer.

Answer 7

Current "M" theory says our 3 dimensional universe was created when two 11 dimensional membranes collided. The theory also postulates that, if this is true, we could create universes on our own in the lab.

Answer 8

To awnser it simply the theory is that 2 giant masses hit and caused it to explode and in less than a few seconds energy and different gases and soilids were made at extremely high temp.

Answer 9

No one knows, there is no known information available. Any current explanations are just conjectures.

Answer 10

yet another question evolution doesn't satisfy. how could something explode when nothing's there?! there has to be an external creator, in this case, God.
