To all that is provable, there is no proof that explosions or big bangs bring about order. Show me a big bang or explosion that brings forth order then I will believe it. And I mean bigger than popcorn. Popcorn is not big or a bang. and even if it was each piece is totally different. No order. There has never been an observable bang that brought order. If so where and when, and don't say the universe because from what I can see bulllshhitt. I am not advocating anything but this is really lame and has never been demonstrated in the most natural way. EXPLOSIONS DESTROY AND CREATE CHAOS. Prove that they don't please. And if it gets to wordy then you always know it is B.S. Like a pushy saleman. It should be real simple like the majority of all people.

First, the big bang was not an explosion. That is a semantic misconception that allows the false comparisons with explosions you mention. This event can't be understood in any earthly context. If you are truly intellectually open to understanding what we know of the big bang and the early evolution of the universe the information is available explained in lay person terms.

I'm shocked at the childish level of knowledge in this subject. Apparently the intelligent people have mostly all gone to bed.

Gravity is the mutual attraction between all matter. Can we start with that as a postulate, or does that need to be proven too?

If the universe started out at its current size and shape, the same today as it was then, then gravity should have been working all this time to make all that matter collapse together. When we measure the distance to other stars and galaxies, when should find them rushing towards us from gravity's attraction. But we don't. Measurement of redshift tells us they're moving away, in every direction, everywhere.

Working backwards, this tells us that in the past, all matter must have been close together in the same place, and some massive amount of energy -- enough to overcome gravity -- forced it outwards -- and continues to force it outward now. That's the Big Bang. It's not an explosion. It's enormous amount of energy making the universe expand. It's the simplest explanation for the observable evidence.

What came before the Big Bang? We don't know. We can't know. It's anyone's guess. It's a pretty vague theory, but it's just about the best we can do until we get better evidence.

All the things we observe and call orderly can be explained by the fundamental forces of nature: gravity (which causes planets and stars to form), electromagnetism (which keep them from collapsing on themselves), and strong and weak nuclear interactions (which matter to form in the first place.) So the Big Bang did not bring about order, but these forces slowly will. Maybe.

I hope I didn't use too many big words. You sum up the attitude of many people when you say the universe ought to be real simple. But as I said, nature is nature. We may think we're entitled to live in a universe simple enough for everyone to understand, but the universe doesn't particularly care what we think we're entitled to.

As was said before, the big bang is a scientific theory that explains the expanding universe. It's hard to imagine an inside without a corresponding outside, much like a super, duper black hole with NOTHING outside of it except maybe strings or dark matter. The universe was once a point with no space or time (spacetime). The big bang is the theoretical "explosion" that created particles, therefore space, therefore distance, therefore time.

Using the concept of dark matter, something else may have been going on. Thinking about how this could happen begins with a postulate - observing an event and then trying to come to an explanation that can hopefully be tested. It's believed that dark matter is expanding the size of the universe, so maybe it pulled the first point to release its energy.

The underlying laws of physics to bring this chaos into a more orderly state, started and the forces of the quantum universe began to clump this energy release into proto stars and galaxies, so all of the elements were creted within these stars, Relatuve order exists because most of the collisions between objects have already happened....

My first question is: Who told you that the Big Bang brought order? If someone did, I believe that you were unfortunately told wrong, although one could think of creation as ordered and beautiful...it just depends on your perspective.

Second, yes popcorn is not big, but when it pops it can be thought of as a small explosion. In fact, if you were the size of an ant, I imagine that such an explosion at close proximity could seriously injure us.

Your best bet is to seriously read some articles, books, and papers about the Big Bang and other theories. It's not a short subject that can be given a short answer. Still, go ahead and search "Big Bang" at Wikipedia. If you need further help, ask an expert in astrophysics and/or cosmology.

Barring that, here's my stab at it:

From everything I've read and learned, at t = 0 (or possibly t <= 0), the "universe" wasn't yet formed, but was a "singularity". For all t > 0, the universe has since been formed and has been expanding, and increasing its rate of expansion, as measured via the cosmic background radiation. But even better, and I hope this helps to answer your query, "entropy" (can be thought of as "a direct measure of the randomness of a system" -- Wikipedia) is, and has always been increasing. Randomness should be read as chaos, but NOT destruction. There are many destructive forces in our universe, but also many creative ones. Given that the universe is expanding and needs enough matter & energy to not collapse upon itself under strain of the expansion, and such matter & energy is theoretically pouring into our universe constantly (especially in the "dark" form, and possibly via "white holes"), I'd say that more is being created than destroyed.

Best of luck to you in your quest for knowledge.

widely held theory of the evolution of the universe. Its essential feature is the emergence of the universe from a state of extremely high temperature and density—the so-called big bang that occurred at least 10,000,000,000 years ago. Although this type of universe was proposed by Alexander Friedmann and Abbé Georges Lemaître in the 1920s, the modern version was developed by George Gamow and colleagues in the 1940s.

The big-bang model is based on two assumptions. The first is that Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity correctly describes the gravitational interaction of all matter. The second assumption, called the cosmological principle, states that an observer's view of the universe depends neither on the direction in which he looks nor on his location. This principle applies only to the large-scale properties of the universe, but it does imply that the universe has no edge, so that the big-bang origin occurred not at a particular point in space but rather throughout space at the same time. These two assumptions make it possible to calculate the history of the cosmos after a certain epoch called the Planck time. Scientists have yet to determine what prevailed before Planck time.

According to the big-bang model, the universe expanded rapidly from a highly compressed primordial state, which resulted in a significant decrease in density and temperature. Soon afterward, the dominance of matter over antimatter (as observed today) may have been established by processes that also predict proton decay. During this stage many types of elementary particles may have been present. After a few seconds, the universe cooled enough to allow the formation of certain nuclei. The theory predicts that definite amounts of hydrogen, helium, and lithium were produced. Their abundances agree with what is observed today. About 1,000,000 years later the universe was sufficiently cool for atoms to form. The radiation that also filled the universe was then free to travel through space. This remnant of the early universe is the microwave background radiation (three degree background radiation) discovered in 1965 by Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson.

In addition to accounting for the presence of ordinary matter and radiation, the model predicts that the present universe should also be filled with neutrinos, fundamental particles with no mass or electric charge. The possibility exists that other relics from the early universe may eventually be discovered.

Right....

Okay, the big bang is the start. Everything goes BOOM and scatters out into every direction. All is chaos. During that scattering, over billions upon billions of years, some of the stuff that went boom starts to collect and cool and form little objects in the vastness of space. These objects are what is later called stars, or planets, or asteroids etc. The Big Bang did not create the universe, it simply left the conditions that allowed the universe to create itself.

In physical cosmology, the term Big Bang has three related meanings. It refers to the observable facts of the evolution of the universe. It is also a cosmological model in which the universe has been expanding for around 13.7 billion years (13.7 Ga), starting from a tremendously dense and hot state. The term is also used in a narrower sense to describe the fundamental 'fireball' that erupted at or close to time t=0 in the history of the universe.
Observational evidence for the Big Bang includes the analysis of the spectrum of light from galaxies, which reveal a shift towards longer wavelengths proportional to each galaxy's distance in a relationship described by Hubble's law. Combined with the assumption that observers located anywhere in the universe would make similar observations (the Copernican principle), this suggests that space itself is expanding. Extrapolation of this expansion back in time yields a state in the distant past in which the universe was in a state of immense density and temperature. This hot, dense state is the key premise of the Big Bang.
Theoretical support for the Big Bang comes from mathematical models, called Friedmann models, which show that a Big Bang is consistent with general relativity and with the cosmological principle, which states that the properties of the universe should be independent of position or orientation.
The theory of Big Bang nucleosynthesis predicts the rates at which various light elements are created in models of the early universe and gives results that are generally consistent with observations. The Big Bang model also predicts the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), a background of weak microwave radiation filling the whole universe. The discovery of the CMB in 1964 led to general acceptance among physicists that the Big Bang is the best model for the origin and evolution of the universe.

u think the Universe is ordered?????

the Universe has no order. there are places where theres extraordinary amount of matter in very small places and there are places here theres nothing..

Big Bang is not the kind of explosions u see arnd here..

its not possible even in principle to see the Big Bang or create another one.... If ur lucky then u might see the Big Crunch

U either believe the big bang theory or you don't. Scientists have ways to prove it, and if u dont believe them, prove em wrong. How do u think the world came to be? It happend when all the metals and scraps in the universe started coming together magnetically, creating the core, and slowly forming the Earth. If u think it's bullshit, give everybody a reason

I am lol at the minimal amount of people that actually believe in the BIG BANG theory. It has duped you again. The very educational system that gave you an education that limits your income instead of being financially free like me has duped all you fools again, with wordy manipulation. This Big Bang Was Gods voice saying "LET THERE BE" and it was. So I can't totally disagree. The crowd that was around when Jesus was about to get baptized by John heard a loud thunder from the sky, Jesus heard his fathers voice in a thunderous manner saying "this is my son in whom I am well pleased". What pleases God? Faith. Not duped arrogance. Once again all you average income people with educated limitations, no one can prove anything, otherwise the whole world would follow and believe. No other planets that we know of give life. Not consistent.
