The Dinosaurs became extinct because of the Big Bang right? But what exactly caused the Big Bang?

Question

I mean there should've been a problem in space or something cuz when somebody or a center explains about the Big Bang they dont usually dont explain how the Big Bang caused.

Sori cant really understand these things tnx for explaining guys-)

Sori guys i got confused ty for explaining=)
Ok dont bother reading my 1st sentence i was really on about how the Big Bang started...........

Answer 1

Steven Hawkins' book "Red Giants and White Dwarfs" tells about the Big Bang theory. Due to rapid advances in astronomy this century, we now know that in our Milky Way Galaxy there are 235 planetary bodies, of which 169 moons are in our Solar System. These 169 moons are the well documented satellite moons of the 9 planets. Jupiter alone has 63 moons. The challenge lies in how we can build atmospheres on them to support human life and all other living things. Also, we have to weed out the ones that are inhospitable.

Venus=0, Earth=1, Mars=2, Jupiter=63, Saturn=60, Uranus=27, Neptune=13, Pluto=3

The trick is to categorize them into planets/moons that either spin on their axis, or don't. Then, increase the surface gravity by inserting a Superconducting Magnet into the core. The magnet would range from 2 Tesla to 15 Tesla, depending on the amount of iron/nickel that is present in the core.

Finally, to introduce atmospheric gases into the man made electromagnetic bubble.

This website gives the exact location of each of the moons of Jupiter: http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sheppard/sate...

and this site tells us how to make an ATMOSPHERE on all the moons: http://www.atmospheres.5u.com/index.html...

Answer 2

To start with, the dino's went extinct because of a meteorite hitting the earth about 65 million years ago, and the "apocalypse" it caused worldwide. It must have been a big bang, but not The Big Bang.
The question about what caused the big bang that was the beginning of our know universe, is not likely to be answered for 100% by scientists, just like how exactly life started on earth. There can be theories and tests proving that things could have happened in a certain manner, but it will even be harder to prove it actually happened that way.
The latest scientific thesis about the origin of the big bang lie in M-theory, a kind of super-string theory, which is a mathematical theory explaining how the universe could be made up out of all the small particles we know exist today. Though this theory is very controversial, there are more and more tests in particle colliders that seem to support it. Probably it will never be able to directly prove the existence of strings, because they're just too small, scientists are trying to find indirect evidence.
It's just too much to explain in a few words, but there are real good sites about it:

String theory:

There are more theories, like our universe is somehow part of a giant black hole (a white hole), or an "exploding" black hole, or a universe that expands, then contracts into a singularity, than expands again, etc., or maybe a combination of both.
There's much more yet not known than we already do know today. Science is still young, and if humanity will survive long enough, maybe some questions will be answered, but most of it is still an intellectual guess.

Answer 3

You seem to be getting things confused. The Big Bang Theory, and it is strictly a theory, is the one that attempts to explain the birth of the Universe. More thank likely we will never know the answer to just how the Universe started. There are still many hypothesis that are not known and have not been clearly answered.

What you are asking about is the events which caused world wide catastrophic destruction and the end of life as it was in the period before such an event. This is not theory. It is known, factually, that there have been many major changes to Earths global environment. The last event was the last Ice Age. Plants and animals that survived the last ice age are the present flora and fauna.

There have been two major causes of world wide catastrophic changes: asteroid impact and the Earths natural internal events we call volcanoes, earthquakes, tectonic shifts and tsunami. These events can easily be documented by studying the Earths crust layers.

Answer 4

The dinosaurs didn't extinct because of the Big Bang.
Big Bang is an explosion which scientists believe that happened about 15 billion years ago. Scientists say it created our universe.
Just after the big bang the universe is believed to have been a knot of tightly packed particles only about the size of a pea. It's temperature was trillions of celsius.

Answer 5

The Big Bang Theory deals with how the universe might have been created...NOT how dinosaurs became extinct.

Common theory of the mass extinction of dinosaurs involves a large comet or meteor hitting the planet creating, for all purposes, a pre-historic nuclear winter.

I'm not really sure what the theory is concerning how the Big Bang came about. I believe it might have something to do with the expansion and contraction of space and time.

Answer 6

OK then, the big bang was the creation matter in the universe, it is expected that the universe started off as a single point of pure energy, when this went "bang" it expanded, and as it cooled it formed hydrogen, helium and maybe a bit of lithium. all other elements up to iron were formed in the centre of stars by nuclear fusion, any above iron had to be made in super nova events as they require energy to be put in to make them, up to iron they release energy when formed. the universe is about 15 billion years old.

the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. the Dino's were around about 65 million years ago, they were killed by a meteorite that landed near what is now Mexico (we think), but the meteor was not big enough to cause a mass extinction event, it is now thought that at the same time(ish) a very large volcano was erupting on the other side of the planet, these together cooled the atmosphere as well as realising loads and loads of sulphur gas into the air, this is toxic, they might have been able to survive one at a time, but not both together

Answer 7

two different theories.

the big bang, is a model - that some 10 billion years ago - a cosmological model of the universe, whose primary assertion is that the universe has expanded into its current state from a primordial condition of enormous density and temperature. 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.

There have been many different ideas put forward to explain why the dinosuars died out. The two most likely are that their habitat slowly changed, and that a meteor impact triggered their extinction.

Gradualist theory
The gradualist hypothesis points to declines in the numbers and diversity of different groups of land and marine animals.

It suggests that the extinction of these groups was due to climate change. The climate at the end of the Cretaceous was cooling - and a fall in sea level reduced dinosaur and shallow water marine animal habitats.

Impact theory
The impact hypothesis gets a lot of press coverage because it is spectacular. There is good geophysical evidence for the occurrence of an asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous.

A band of clay rich in the mineral iridium was deposited at the end of the Cretaceous and has been found at many places in the world. This mineral is rare on Earth but more common in meteorites.

It has been suggested that the impact would have triggered a nuclear winter scenario that would have caused the death of the dinosaurs as well as the pterosaurs, several families of birds and mammals and also marine animals such as the plesiosaurs and ammonites.

The second is widely known as the K–T extinction event and is associated with a geological signature, usually a thin band dated to that time and found in various parts of the world, known as the K–T boundary. K is the traditional abbreviation for the Cretaceous Period, and T is the abbreviation for the Tertiary Period. The event marks the end of the Mesozoic Era, and the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. There is lots of evidence to support the theories world wide. however ig bang, is older than the earth, so evidence lies in complex obsevations of red shift in distant galaxies.

The Big Bang is a scientific theory, and as such stands or falls by its agreement with observations. But as a theory which addresses, or at least seems to address, creation itself, it has always been entangled with theological and philosophical implications. In the 1920s and '30s almost every major cosmologist preferred an eternal universe, and several complained that the beginning of time implied by the Big Bang imported religious concepts into physics; this objection was later repeated by supporters of the steady state theory. This perception was enhanced by the fact that the theory's inventor, Georges Lemaître, was a Roman Catholic priest. Lemaître himself always insisted that as a physical theory, the Big Bang has no religious implications; and yet the congruence between his scientific and religious beliefs is apparent in his famous description of the beginning of the universe as "a day without yesterday"—alluding to the creation account in Genesis. George Gamow had no compunction in describing the graphs of conditions in the Big Bang as "divine creation curves", and sent a copy of his book The Creation of the Universe to the pope; yet even he favoured an oscillating model in which the Big Bang was not a literal beginning. To this day, many people's reactions to the Big Bang theory, both positive and negative, are influenced by how well it can be harmonised with their religious and philosophical world views.

Answer 8

Big Bang caused the creation of our universe. And then our earth. And then the dinosaurs came after a long time. After that one day a big asteroid smashed into earth causing the dinosaurs to extinct.

so, it was an asteroid that was responsible for extinction. In near future we will be hit by astroid again.

Answer 9

According to one theory the Dinosaurs were wiped out by a giant asteroid/meteorite that smashed into the Earth and caused the Earths atmosphere to change.

This is not is usually referred to as the "Big Bang" however, the "Big Bang" is a term used to describe a theory as to the creation of the current Universe

"The Dinosaurs became extinct because of the Big Bang right? But what exactly caused the Big Bang?"

Thank you for bringing me a smile early in the morning.
