Are there any theories regarding the origin of the energy that initiated the "big bang"?

Question

OobyDooby---interesting, but how can this be the origin of this energy when it requires energy of it's own initiated elsewhere?

Answer 1

God lit some major firecrackers......M80's even.

Answer 2

The new string theory led to the theory of branes that offer an explanation of where the big bang came from. Branes are higher dimension parallel planes that can move around and when they collide a new universe such as ours is born. Click on the following link to explain the brane theory: http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20010922/bob9.asp

Answer 3

in m theory, in which the observable universe is one of many extended 4 dimensional branes in a 12 dimensional spacetime,suggests that the big bang was the result of 2 colliding branes

Answer 4

String theor has a little side theory that says there are a bunch, infinite actually, of universes existing next to ours, and the big bang occured when our universe and another collided.

Answer 5

There is a very good paper "Evidence for the Big bang" which you will find here:

It will help you understand your question and give you some answers.

Answer 6

well of course there is einstein but i think the best readable material is by stephen hawkins who corrected einstein's theorys.
he wrote "A Brief history in/ of Time" ( can't remember which)and you can find that anywhere- happy reading
