According to a theory called Membrane theory, our universe is like a giant membrane. And there are such other universes too in a tightly packed place. So when a membrane of the universe touches another the big bang happens.

It is really reaching to discuss and formulate theories about why, and how the Big Bang happened. Beyond the point that none of us were actual witnesses at the time, and there are no written records of the event, or evidence trails left by the perpetrators, there is no answer to this question other than theories by well educated people, and pure garbage ideas offered by those unwilling to dig into the actual issues of outer space and the Universe. Occasional clowns will continue to do their thing, and post silly replies.

From most studies it seems that the event happened about 4 Billion Years ago and was fairly significant in that it started most objects on a movement outward from one central point. The total quantity of object groups involved has never been clearly established in text books that I have read, or I missed it in reading them.

The other unknowns that are influencing this concept are the immense power within say, a "Black Hole," an Exploding Star or Group of Stars (as in Binary Star, Trinary Star, or Cluster), etc.

These unknowns may hold the answer to "how" it happened, but it will take years for anyone to build a strong enough case for a theory using those energy sources as the root cause of the Big Bang. I, personally, have trouble with the idea that a black hole can swallow stuff for eternity without ever getting - shall we say 'Full" or over sized/weighted/balanced, whatever that is... Possibly a black hole swallowed so much material that its mass reached some criticality and the thing blew to smitherenes.

Another option is the possibility of exploding stars... According to Ian Ridpath, a well known author of astronomical books, about half of the stars we can see are not single objects. The ones in the not single object category are Binary Stars (two closely circling each other), Trinary Stars (Three doing the same thing), and Clusters (More than 3 doing the same thing). In my mind, given the more or less fixed life span of stars, maybe one of the Clusters reached a criticality point somehow and the whole thing went up in a huge explosion.

The point is, nobody knows. And, frankly, unless you demand authority credentials prior to delivery of Answers, what you will get in Answers from the average man in the street is probably not going to be a well developed technical explanation accepted by authorities on the subject. So, if what you seek is idle conversation, good. If you seek the real answer to this question, you are most likely looking in the wrong place. I would suggest majoring on ASTRONOMY in college and several years of intense study in Physics before attempting to delve into this subject with a real passion.

Current theory does not have the answer to what happens before the Plank time in the big bang time line. That's because we're not able to unifies all 4 fundamental forces together. Quantum physics has been able to unifies electromagnetism with the weak nuclear force, producing electroweak. Scientist believe if we turn back the universe clock further during the big bang, we will be able to unifies the strong nuclear force to the electroweak.

But in all of this, they don't know where does gravity fits in. Quantum theory doesn't have the fundamental explanation for gravity in the first place.

Currently there are several theory being work on to explain gravity, base on the assumption that gravity too has a particle called graviton. One leading theory is superstring theory, or also known as M theory.

This theory is still in its infancy and many scientist oppose it, but anyway it predicted that this big bang is a result of two membrane collided with each other, and the energy of the collision drove the big bang. Our universe is on a membrane and each other membrane represents another universe in a multiverse system.

Ignoring those two funny / religious answers, there is really not much information about the first few nanoseconds or picoseconds of the big bang. From an almost point size source, all the energy of the known universe came out and expanded so rapidly that it was more than any human made explosion. Since mass, time, space etc. started with the universe, there is no way as of now, to know how exactly it started and what caused it.

I came up with a hypothesis dealing with blackholes and extra deminsions. Too much to get into here though, but I do think that the universe existed before the big bang in a form we haven't been able to study yet. But as the years go by we will get closer to being able to study it from observation.

No way to tell. The laws of physics do not apply at a singularity. We have a fairly good idea of what happened afterward, but the source of the explosion itself is not known.

My personal opinion is that it happened suddenly and very fast.
