Could someone explain singluarity" as used in BIG BANG?

Question

How small and how is this testable as required by science?

Answer 1

The concept of evolution of the Cosmos is beyond the purview of science. Only as a spiritual seeker does one understand the concept of spirituality. Albert Einstein the famous physicist regretted in the end days of his life not having traveled the path of spirituality in the initial stages of his life. He deeply wanted to understand the gist of Bhagavad Gita but it was too late!

Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna explicitly makes clear the concept of big bang. The singularity at the time of big bang was the size of half a thumb. This half the size of a thumb... the volume of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos... this cluster of pure energy unable to contain itself explodes with a big bang giving rise to a new cosmos... a new cosmic life cycle!

And from where does this cluster of purified souls atmans... the size of half the thumb come from? Imagine a situation when the dissolution of the old cosmos takes place. This results in all souls atmans in the Cosmos reaching the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! In the circumstances all human beings gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).

This cluster of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos after the complete dissolution of the old cosmos is the singularity that is the only truth of the Cosmos. This cosmic concept becomes clear when one reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the stage of enlightenment! For Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed understanding the gist of big bang theory was like ABC. This cosmic analogy is beyond the purview of the five senses and the mind.

Having traveled the path of pure spirituality and absolute truthfulness when one gains enlightenment... everything that is contained in Cosmos becomes clear. Having gained enlightenment... all purified souls atmans go back to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). More on Big Bang theory - http://www.godrealized.com/bigbangtheory.html

Answer 2

There are two natural types of singularity in general relativity. The first is called a 'coordinate singularity'. An easy example of this can be found at the north pole. The latitude of the north pole is 90 degrees, but there is not just one longitude for it. This means that latitude/longitude coordinates are singular there.

The second type of singularity is a geometric singularity. This is a place where the curvature or some other geometric quantity is infinite or undefined. An example is the point of a cone: the curvature is undefined there. So, the north pole is not a geometric singularity but it is a coordinate singularity.

For the Big Bang, the singularity is a geometric one accordinag to general relativity. The curvature of spacetime becomes infinite there. Since every geometric singularity has to be a coordinate singularity, it turns out that time cannot even be extended to before the Big Bang: there is no 'before the Big Bang'!

There is also a geometric singularity inside a black hole, although of a different sort than that at the Big Bang. In neither case can we directly measure the singularity, but we can measure effects of points close by.

Answer 3

Singularity is not about small or big, it is about a space-time region where and when the curvature is infinite and the law of physic is no longer apply. So before, after or beyond the singularity there will be no way to predict anything using our current law of physic. Therefore a point in space-time before, beyond or after a singularity, is in essence another universe.
Singularity can form if space is bent by excessive mass, just like the weight of a person will bent a 2D matress, the mass can also bent 3D space. Of course an N dimension object can only bent in N+1 space dimension or higher.
If the mass is so massive, the bending curvature will be infinite, and so form a singularity. A singularity forming in an older universe is the big bang of a younger universe, the universe itself is alive.

Answer 4

A singularity is a point in space, it doesn't have actual dimensions physically. It's the smallest thing possible. And incrediably dense - the laws of physics as we know them break down inside. The LHC should be able to test a lot of our theories, and the big bang theory itself made a number of testable predictions that came true (microwave background radiation).

Answer 5

Goto wikipedia.com and type in Big Bang. Also read this from another post. It may help in understanding that finite singularity concept.

There are 2 main definitions of "universe"

The first: Is the known universe meaning the universe that we are able to detect via all methods such as x rays, gamma rays, radio waves, visible light etc. I like to call this the "Big Bang Universe." The estimated diameter of this universe is somewhere around 93 billion light years. The center of this universe definition was and is the center of the big bang mass at detonation. We are not currently in that location as the matter that formed the earth as we know it today was flung from big bang at detonation.

The second definition: This one I like better: The entire universe is the totality of everything including the big bang before, during and after, all space, time, space-time, matter, objects, non-objects, anti-matter, anti-gravity, dark matter, parallel universes, other matter, things we dont yet know of, light, energy, black holes, quasars, quarks, pulsars, radiation of all types, dark universes and all of the complete totality of the entire cosmos. This universe is not limited by time, or space and continues in all directions for infinity in both time, distance and space. This concept may be hard to grasp, but the center of this universe my friend, is at the center of the origin of your thought process. And the physical location of your thought process is most likely very near the center of your cerebral cortex. So, the location of the center of the universe is in your skull somewhere.

Answer 6

According to a program on the Science Channel today, no one can explain the singularity that the universe apparently came from.

Answer 7

I wish I could answer, but all I know about Singularity is that it takes place in the Event Horizon in a black hole and that it is when the laws of Physics no longer apply, don't know how it applies to the Big Bang, sry.

Answer 8

A singularity is a single point in space
The only singularity that ever will ever exist is the first space-time pulse that occurred after time zero
It is a quantum entity of minimum size and duration.
It expanded radially to evolve into our universe and us.
