If before the big bang.. there was nothing. how could nothing explode and create everything your seeing...?

Answer 1

I assure you that nobody can answer your question.
we really can't understand this things.

Answer 2

The Big Bang theory came from the observation that the known Universe was expanding. Hence, regardless of how you feel about God, one may conclude in time past the Universe was smaller. (Indeed, many clergy felt the Big Bang was a 'proof' of creation.)

The notion however that the Big Bang came from nothing however is pure conjecture, and not particularly rational conjecture at that.

No mater what the priests and physicists tell you, the origin of the universe is a guess. The likelihood is that, like everything else, the universe is cyclic. I.e. before the Big Bang, was the Big Crunch, and before that another Big Bang.

Or to quote the cannon:
"As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be; world without end."

Which is to say, there is NO true beginning, only somewhat arbitrary reference points. Those who do not believe in God, tend to believe the universe is much like God - specifically not possessing any true beginning or end.

Answer 3

We have arrived at the paradoxical place in which our valid observations and understandings of the universe have presented us with the means to further extrapolate to things we cannot understand but which must be so. For example, the leading minds now thing the universe has what, eleven dimensions? And they really mean it and the math for that works. Hell I myself once determined how many n-dimensional balls would fit in a particular n-dimensional cube - yet none of us can intuit what any of that really means or looks like.

Yeah, the universe is expanding, yeah it looks like there was a big bang, yeah that implies not a previous nothing, but certainly a previous very compact point - none of which is even remotely reasonable sounding or truly believable in any realistic, useable, day to day way.

At this point, the very causes we use to explain the observed effects are themselves so far out there as to immediately demand explanation of what could possibly have caused THEM, and so on. It no longer has any real meaning to say a thing is explained by an eleven headed cat that once pisssed into the past from the future through a folded universe. Great, thanks for clearing that up for me.

How can there have been nothing, or something, before the Big Bang? Man, how can there REALLY have been a Big Bang? You got me, but probably not just me - and I'd recommend not spending a lot more of your valuable time or brain thinking about it, personally.

Answer 4

They say that in the beginning, the universe was infinitely dense and infinitely hot, if you can imagine. But there is a theory that there were 2 strings, from string theory of course, that collided and caused the big bang. It's even possible that everything imploded the last time around and started the whole cycle all over again.

Answer 5

The Big Bang theory does not contend that nothing existed before the birth of this universe. Nor does it contend that the universe spawned by the Big Bang is all that exists now.

Answer 6

"If I had no other data than the early chapters of Genesis, some of the Psalms and other passages of Scripture, I would have arrived at essentially the same picture of the origin of the universe, as is indicated by the scientific data." Nobel Prize-winning physicist Arno Penzias (Big Bang Theorist)

Answer 7

thats why the big bang isn't true...its just a bogus theory trying to explain away the one true GOD!

Answer 8

There was no "before".
