how long ago did scientists feel the "Big Bang" take place?

Answer 1

Nearly 14 Billion years ago.

Answer 2

They estimate between 13 and 14 billion years.
The universe could be much smaller and much older than current estimates.
Their estimates are based on the red shift and the Hubble constant.
The farthest galaxies that we can see don't exist to-day,but the red shift says they are expanding at an accelerating rate.
According to the age of the earth the universe could be as little as 7 billion years old but there is no way to estimate a maximum age.
The universe could have come into existence 7 billion years ago.
The 13.5 billion years estimate
is predicated on the interpretation of the red shift that could be completely wrong.

Answer 3

I can give you two answers. The first answer is my own personal theory. The second answer is from something I learned from a science documentary on TV soon after I had created my own theory.

The First Answer:
1) Think of space as being divided into two sections. The first section is white space. White space is a space that has an unlimited and an infinite amount of material that goes on forever. (So with in white space, with there being an unlimited and an infinite amount of material that goes on forever that also means that the concept of time is irrelevant.) The second section is black space. Black space is a space that is infinitely empty forever and ever. Now two things could have happened. The first thing that could have happened is that a particle from white space had been introduce into black space and at that point the that one particle had exploded into the BIG BANG which had occurred around 13 to 15 billion years ago. The second thing that could have happened is that white space could have introduced a leakage into black space thus creating not only the BIG BANG (or a BIG LEAK) but also creating all of the particles in our universe that had followed immediately after the BIG BANG (or a BIG LEAK). At the point that any amount of white space enters into black space is the same point that we begin to measure the age of our universe.
(Keep in mind that since white space and black space are both infinite, it also means that there may be an infinite number of universes spread out all over the place at any given time.)

The Second Answer:
2) The second answer is that our universe is one of many universes that have come and gone and that have came and went. For example think of a black hole. A black hole is an object with a gravitational field so powerful that a huge region of space becomes completely engulfed into the black hole. No matter or radiation (including light) that has entered its region can ever escape it. Now the inverse and the opposite end of a black hole is where everything is funneled out. Now when this happens it can be called a white hole. A lot of scientist now believe that the BIG BANG of our universe had been created by the process of a white hole 13 to 15 billion years ago. The funneling between a black hole and a white hole is like an umbilical cord. One theory is that there are a lot of universes, and each universe is trapped inside something like a bubble, and the bubbles are connected through an umbilical cord or through a worm hole. At the point that any amount of material from a black hole exit itself out as a white hole is the same point that we begin to measure the age of our universe.

Answer 4

Currently the consensus amongst astrophysicists is that the best estimate for the age of the universe based upon the available evidence is approximately 13.7 billion Earth-years.

Answer 5

15 - 16 billion yrs ago

Answer 6

I don't think that there is a scientist that old that would have felt it

Answer 7

About 13.7-billion years ago.

Answer 8

14.5 billion years
