the question is obsolete cause there is solid evidence that the beginning of our universe was in fact a singularity.
It was shown by Hawking and Penrose.

It would be a shock because all evidence points to the occurrence of a Big Bang. But new evidence must have come out to prove otherwise, so books would be revised and theories altered. And Man would continue to discover the universe around him.

The scientists who proposed the theory would explain how a universe created according to their theory would differ from a "Big Bang" universe, and other scientists would start looking for evidence to confirm or deny the theory. If the new theory proved superior, there'd probably be a Nobel Prize or two involved.

nothing. things have been proven wrong in the past, and nothing has happened to physics. by the way big bang is a theory not a law.
and any thing that disproves the big bang theory would it self be physics, so a few things might change, but the rest would be the same.

Not much, really. Alternative models have been proposed--though none have stood up when tested. Even if the "big bang" model were modified at some point--unlikely given the amount of supporting evidence--it would have little effect on physics in general.

It would depend on what replaced the Bang. The new theory could call for only a few minor alterations in small obscure areas of theory. Or it could point out huge flaws in our basic assumptions that would turn the field of physics on it's ear.

well they'd obviously scrap the big bang theory. Physics wouldn't just curl up and die though, the scientists would just develop a new theory.

Then there would be other theories to replace Big Bang theories.

they would change their books because thats not the only theory that has ever been found to be false.. it would be a big one but its nothing to ruin physics over.

nothing will change except the theories that will replace it will eventually be replaced by more acceptable theories
