What would have been the escape velocity of the matter in the universe at the big bang, in order to stop it re-imploding?
Surely it couldn't be faster than light? And light cannot even escape the gravity in a black hole!
Surely there must be some natural mechanism for this that can be seen today, after all this is only simple uniformitisum.

The escape velocity of the matter in the Cosmos (one Cosmos consists of many universes) at the time of big bang was much much greater than the speed of light. It is only once in the lifetime of Cosmos that the escape velocity increases manifold at the time of the big bang. So great... so massive is the explosion that causes creation of a new cosmos... no theory of science could make a guesswork.

It is not that scientists world over cannot find it... they can do it provided they believe in the concept. The big bang theory primarily is beyond the capture of science. It is only a truly enlightened soul who understands the entire concept. The concept of the big bang directly relates to the field of spirituality. Only one... a serious seeker of spirituality can fathom the depth of the big bang theory in its entirety.

All concepts of science... all theories would fail at the time of big bang. This one concept is unique in itself. It only occurs once in the life time of a Cosmos. All concepts of the big bang theory are beyond the capture of the senses and the mind. The complete theory of the big bang is narrated in Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Hinduism given to mankind by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata.

Bhagavad Gita cannot be studied literally. All the 700 verses contained in Bhagavad Gita have a deep inner meaning. To fathom the depth of Bhagavad Gita... one needs to travel the path traversed by enlightened souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all. More on Big Bang theory - http://www.godrealized.org/big_bang_theory.html

Speed of light=C, it is an electro magnetic force and therefore nothing physical can get close to that speed. Could the big bang be an explosion of a nebular star or a neutron star, a neutorn star is one that gravitationally pulls every thing to a small ball, then it should expand. The velocity would have been much less than C and there is no immediate danger of the implosion. Light is a result of a chamical reaction, therefore it has mass, mass can be pulled by gravity and stars are affected by gravity. So the mechanism is gravity pulls mass towards it. I hope this helps.

Had their been matter or gravity, either one, in the initial moments of the big bang--the universe might never have taken off. There was no matter for gravity to act upon, nor was there any gravity to affect matter. The energy content "heat" of the early universe was extremely high, and four of the fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces) were united. They were one.

Gravity did not decouple from the other fundamental forces for some time, during which there was an inflationary period where space itself expanded much faster than c.

Chas insists the big bang is philosophy. On that he is utterly mistaken. Observations of the atomic spectra of the most distant galaxies indicates they are poor in metals. The ratios of elemental abundances in these galaxies much more closely parallels primordial values predicted by big bang nucleosynthesis. There is a certain amount of hydrogen and helium, trace amounts of lithium, beryllium, and next to nothing of anything else. Closer galaxies have much larger abundances of heavy elements, indicating the subsequent chemical evolution of the universe.

The distribution of quasar galaxies in the universe also indicates evolutionary trends.

The temperature and distribution of cosmic background radiation (CBR) closely matches the value predicted by the big bang model.

The big bang is an extremely successful theory. It compares favorably with Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. (Newton's theory of gravity is only slightly inaccurate).

Humans are too limited in intelligence to fully comprehend the concept of the Big Bang Theory or indeed the origin of the universe.

It is similar to asking a goldfish to comprehend Quantum mechanics.

Theories are very speculative and generally begin with assumptions.

Read up on the latest 'String Theory' via Google or Wikpedia.

You might also consider the ramifications of 'Dark Matter' which is said to make up the greater percentage of our known universe.

The theory of the "big bang" has a major problem. I could not have happened. This is evidenced within the center of our own sun. Were you to determine mass acceleration 400 miles and inward from its center, you would find that a mass released within that area would accelerate beyond the speed of light in one second. Within our own planet the distance inward is 0.716 miles from its center.

The equation for a gravitational field is c2 = E/m. It is an energy to mass relationship. Notice that the energy cannot exceed that of the mass. There is a physical limit to the size of stars according to this equation, and there is no manner by which a black hole is able to form within our sun, as it would due to the condition of a mass sucking, time distorting core existing there. If a "black hole" is unable to form, it is obvious that the "big bang" is an impossibility.

Check out Inflation Theory.

They think that there was a period immediately after the big bang where everything inflated very, very quickly (faster than light).

Don't forget, the Big Bang is only a hypothesis.
It is philosphical idea rather than a scientific theory.
There are many many problems with it from a scientific point of view. The only reason many people cling to it is because the more obvious alternative of Creation is unpalatable on religious grounds.

30(10) the big bang didnt come from a black hole..........???

Soooo....

Nothing is faster than the speed of light

This question deals with the curvature of spacetime in the universe as a whole.

it isnt the matter thats traveling at high speeds, its the space that contains the matter that is traveling at high speed, and since space is made of "nothing" it doesnt latter how fast it travels. i hope this helps you to understand this concept.
