How big was the dense mass before the big bang?

Question

I would slso like to know where this dense mass of energy cam from and what surrounded the mass. Was it sitting in empty space?

I think that even if you got beyonfd the universe that you would still go on infinitely in to empty space. There may be no energy or mass, but you are not going to run in to a brick wall/

And I am not here to discuss the biblical theories...i am not saying that God did not create the universe I am wondering about how everything was created and what science has discovered aboutt the process...after all every storm, lightning, hurricane, flood, drought, famine, and war used to be explained away by God because people explain everything that is not understood by an act of God.

If I could take my cell phone of a flash light back to the ancient Egypt, they would swear that I was a God. As we learn more there is less that we don't understand. The only thing that bible toters have left is that God was here in the beginning and will be here in the end because science has not figured that out yet.

Answer 2

You have all the common misconceptions associated with intuition rooted in Euclidean space

"How big was the dense mass before the big bang?"

The *visible* universe inflated from volume that was likely smaller than a pea (perhaps much smaller), but it's not known how big the volume was that inflated into the entire universe - perhaps infinite.

"I would also like to know where this dense mass of energy came from"

This is not a meaningful question since "where" implied a pre-existing space at a pre-existing time from which things can be supposed to have come from. Both space and time as we know it originated *with* the big bang.

"and what surrounded the mass. Was it sitting in empty space?"

No, there was no boundary between the BB and a space that surrounded it. It was not an explosion *in* space, as the vast majority of people assume, but an unbounded explosion *of* space.

"I think that even if you got beyonfd the universe that you would still go on infinitely in to empty space."

If you travel far enough you are not going to run into anything, not even empty space. You may end up back at the same place, though, if the universe is finite. You need to abandon Euclidean thinking to comprehend that.

Answer 3

There was no density because there was no matter in the singularity that appeared from nowhere, it was pure enegy that had a life span of 10-43 second. Here is something to think about. Einstein said that different universes can have different laws, matter could travel faster than light, for example. Prior to the big bang, imagine two universes drifting in the void, each one has a volume a trillion times larger than the volume of our known universe, each has no matter and no detectable boundaries, and according to their laws, each has a temperature of absolute zero. However, an outside observer, using his own thermometer registers a slightly higher reading in one of the spheres. Eventually the spheres make contact with eachother, the point of contact would be the size of a singularity. Instanty there is an evenening of temperatures concentrated in the singularity. An outside observer detects this incredible concentration of heat and measures its life span as 10-43 second.

Coachstoll is an idiot. Various data has shown that the universe is expanding in every direction. The WMAT Satellite launched in 2003 took images of the early universe that offered more clues to the development of the universe. The Big Bang isn't perfect in theory, they still haven't completely explained about the even distribution of heat throughout the universe. The original dense mass that "banged" was the smaller than the smallest subatomic particle. As for what surrounded it, there was still infinite space surrounding this supermass.

Answer 5

Kalam cosmological argument isn't a God if the gaps argument
If you want another non God of the Gaps look at the argument from contingency... You need better reasons that that to believe God is not real
And the volume would have to be zero for it to be infinitely dense as hawkings proposes (which sounds impossible right?)

Answer 6

The was no Big Bang beginning.

The Universe is the totality of existence. Attempting to define it simply in terms of mass in space is nonsensical.

Answer 7

The longer they investigate this theory, the more unlikely it appears to be. I personally don't believe in the big bang theory. Somewhere, at sometime, everything had to be created. And if that's true, then you should be spending your time searching for who the creator is.

Answer 8

if it was a big bang at tha begining, it was caused by a sub atomic disturbance

Answer 9

as big as you can imagine plus infinity x's a billion more infinities
