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

Answer 1

Physicists are now talking about M theory which says that there are an infinite number of different shaped universes in the 11th dimension. All of which have similar or completely different laws of physics and have different shapes such as flat membranes, spheres, or donuts. Theorists say that our universe was created when two membrane shaped universes collided in the 11th dimension and caused the big bang in our universe. They also theorize that the membranes had fluctuations in there surfaces that caused the differences in texture we see in the microwave background radiation, which ultimately led to the formation of the first galaxies.

Answer 2

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 3

simple answer, there was no before. time started with he big bang, so that little ball of energy was always there. there are many theories to explain why space, time, and energy came into existence, we can never know for sure what ones are right.

and its true, god makes more sense than all of those theories. but the ONLY reason god makes more sense is because god requires no thought. you can just say "because hes god he can do anything". how is that a mature answer? there is no thought as to why or how when you think of god. the entire notion is 100% illogical and retarded.

mike s, why dont u apply the watch idea to god, where did come from. i bet you'd say something like "god has always been there". so how does a complex being that can do anything and has always been there make more sense than a little sphere of energy that has always been there. i have an idea, lets apply some math. take out the common idea, the fact that both of the 2 have always been there. your left with the notion that a complex, infallible, infinitely powerful being is easier to create than energy...what makes sense now?

Answer 4

The Big Bang Explosion

Answer 5

All theorists like to avoid the big question 'what did everything come from'? According to Steven Hawkins only God knows. The real question is what is God?

Answer 6

I believe that before the singularity there was potential energy in the vast space that existed, some unknown event caused this energy to focus into a point and this point did not explode, it expanded rapidly and cooled to where the first sub atomic particles formed and from there the universe evolved into what it is today.

Answer 7

a few hundred years ago god-worshipers were claiming "The Earth has always been here!" which proves god exists or something, then it was shown that the Earth is old, but not THAT old and that way back when it probably formed naturally, so the god-worshipers started saying "Well, okay, but God certainly created the Sun, then... no? How about the Milky Way?"

Finally, it was decided that science didn't really have a clear-cut explanation of the first few seconds of the Big Bang, so the god-worshipers rejoiced.

"yeah!"

Answer 8

Who said that there was nothing before the big bang?

Oh, yeah... I remember, it was the creationists. They need a point in time when there was nothing... or they could not start with their story about special creation!

:-)

Answer 9

We don't know that there was nothing there. We just know our universe wasn't there. There's a good chance (recent results from Penn State) that our universe emerged from the collapse of a previous universe.

Answer 10

Well, it's been observed that, from nothing, an elecron and a positron can suddenly appear, then annihilate each other - leaving a net gain of mass and energy of zero.

Maybe that's what happened on a grand scale...?
