Why is it so mind boggling to think about how our universe started?

Question

It's crazy...

Answer 1

there are many theries but none is proved to be true. I go with the creation one which makes some sense. gen. 1 . but in order to make any sense of it you have to know there were one creation of the universe and 2 of the earth and 3 recreations of living things. the big bang has way too many loop holes in it. such as how a planet made of gas would be a by product of an explosion of an other planet. just dont make no sense..i agree its crazy but i go with what god made which to me is the easiest to understand that everything has its place and is there as god directed and any new finds are always another gift from god

Answer 2

Well, I could give you a few reasons.

First, the human brain never evolved to do Science, it is simply not adapted to do so. I know for the easier problems, we can find solutions to them, but once we step into things a little more complicated like Einstein's relativity, we get easily confused. And we all know that relativity is an important factor to understand the beginning of the universe, like all that space-time curvature.

Second, we are just too reliant on our 5 senses. When asked to perceive something outside of them, we just can't. Unfortunately, there's much more to the universe that we're simply "blinded" to. We can't sense magnetism or electricity, or space-time curvature. Even the things that we can sense, we already do it quite poorly, only so little of the EM spectrum is light, the rest is undetectable to us.

Other than that, it is very difficult for our brain to gauge accurately measurements that are too large or too small. We can do quite well like for example 100 years to 1 second, away from that time just get distorted in our heads. The universe having existed for so long, about 15 billion years, is just too difficult for us to imagine. This is further enforced by the fact that no one was there to watch it. All this just leaves us with quite an incomprehensible universe.

Limitations aside, our universe most likely started off with all the matter and energy of every single thing present today compressed into a very, very small volume consisting just of energy. The big bang occurs, expanding the universe millions of millions of times. The rapid expansion caused rapid cooling and the energy began forming subatomic particles, the universe cooled further and neutrons and protons are overcome by attraction between each other to form hydrogen and helium nuclei. Cooling some more, electrons are overcome by attraction to orbit around nucleus forming atoms, this marks the beginning matter in the universe. Matter then started clumping together in gigantic clouds of gases that formed stars, ... ... and so the story continues

Answer 3

Thinking in linear terms is what or where the boggle could be.
Born,lie,die, is the Human experience, it is what we base all things on,does not make it fact, but it makes it easy to comprehend.
Alpha Start
Omega End
Go beyond these learned and taught boundaries and think of the Multiple Instances in boundless and unkown quantums of space time theory.
No I do not know how all this came to be, but the reality is it exists now, that is really , and all that is still theoretical.
Then again Gravity is a Theory, Gravitation is a fact, but the Theory of Gravity is , a Theory.

Answer 4

Because it was so long in the past, and that means so much was at the same place at the same time... A whole universe, in such a tiny volume, and no way to know what was beyond it at the time; before time started actually.

Answer 5

It's mind boggling because our minds can't get round just how amazing God's creation is.
The more we discover about the world, the more complexity and design we find.

But God has told us what we need to know in Genesis

Answer 6

because it was the creation of everything. and how could complex life be created after there was basically nothing.
