What caused the Big Bang?

Question

So does this mean that everthing that can be seen was made from nothing?

Or does it mean that everthing that can be seen was made from things which cannot be seen?

Answer 1

oh. my fav

its called a cyclic universe or parallel universe.

first a primer (filmed in the 70s?)

now for the current "theory" (in a nut shell)

a long video used to help you understand OTHER dimensions.

(damn! they took down the whole link)
I have here a link to the video explaining the idea in much more depth................ 1 of 5.............. the others are listed on the right
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWIyam5cAko
altogether about an hour long



Or you could just say God did it........... or even an atom blew up..... (what atom? why did it blow up? how did it get there? the atom idea is worse than the god idea because it leaves TOO MANY questions)
I think parellel universes answers all of these questions and EVEN gives room for GOD to exist..................... even though I do not like to think God did it.

see people, you go around saying everyones wrong and your right (cause of the thumbs down)
But I can still say I'm right and wrong and right at the same time. And I'm not judging you............

jazzone------------ she was the first to get a thumbs up too. weird huh? We ARE in the 21st century........ right?

Answer 2

My chum, if I knew that, i could be packing my suitcase for Stockholm, to get carry of a Nobel Prize in Physics! ;-) we don't comprehend and the super question is: became there time till now the super bang? As we comprehend it, the two area and time "began" with the super bang. unusual, isn't it? How can some thing ensue if there became no time? the subsequent question is: If the super bang became a start up and the accelerating growth of the universe will bring about an eternal "enormous freeze" how can some thing eternal have a start up? it may be like asking: the place does a circle start up, ideal? the respond is: we don't comprehend and that's what makes technology so exciting! ;-)

It is very difficult or almost impossible to anwer your dilemma if we do not have any positive proof of what the Big Bang is . The Big Bang Phrase was coined by Fred Hoyle Because he did not believe in the General Relativity solution of a singularity was realistic.
.
As far as a theory of the Creation of the Universe,there was a theory postulated by George Lemaitre (who was a Bible believing Christian) indicated that the initial Creation of mass structure was a micromass which he called a premordial mass. This was not a Bible and science contradiction. His idea was most likely Based on The Biblical account of Creation which indicated that the first basic mass structure was "light".
However , Rev George Lemaitre never mentioned Space structure in his theory. Neither did the Present day solution of Einstein General relativity equations except in his statement of a Cosmological Constant which Albert Einstein later discarted.

Answer 4

The Big Bang is the 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 an initial time-point in the history of our observed spacetime.

Theoretical support for the Big Bang comes from mathematical models, called Friedmann models. These models 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.

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 evidence that observers located anywhere in the universe make similar observations (the Copernican principle), this suggests that space itself is expanding. The next most important observational evidence was the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964. This had been predicted as a relic from when hot ionized plasma of the early universe first cooled sufficiently to form neutral hydrogen and allow space to become transparent to light, and its discovery led to general acceptance among physicists that the Big Bang is the best model for the origin and evolution of the universe. A third important line of evidence is the relative proportion of light elements in the universe, which is a close match to predictions for the formation of light elements in the first minutes of the universe, according to Big Bang nucleosynthesis.

Answer 5

According to the Big Bang theory,all matter in the universe was concentrated in a very dense and very hot nucleus at the beginning.A cosmic explosion occured some 20 billion years ago and the matter was thrown out in the form of galaxies.The galaxies thus formed are continuously moving away from each other.

Answer 6

I've never heard of this "atom exploding" theory. But you ask what would cause the atom to explode? Probably a proton accelerator in the laboratory of the scientists in the real universe that exists outside of our current universe. And our "billions" of years of existence are actually just a momentary flash of insignificant consequence in a much larger world we can never know or see.

Answer 8

Nobody knows for sure. All we have are theories. But I'd rather believe the Big Bang than Genesis though :)

Answer 9

Man there are some intelligent answers here. The only big bang I know of was E=MCsquared.

Answer 10

That is beyond the scope of science. It's metaphysics, really. It's like asking, "What's beyond the universe?" It's completely beyond the scope of our empirical observation.

I love how that chic above used a Biblical quote to dispel a scientific theory. Yes, and the Earth is the center of the universe too, right? Get a freakin' clue.
