Some, if not all of us have heard of the big bang.. the event that started the whole universe. Well it is said that the 4 fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetic force, weak and strong nuclear force) were once combined and joined w/ extreme heat, exploded, and thats how the universe was born. Well if this is true, shouldn't we be able to reenact this event? We have all these forces present on earth so isn't it possible that this could be done?

we could make a mini bang.. everything is possible.. but the energy we have is too weak

all of those forces are present on earth yes. they arent combined. we would have to combine gluons, w and z bosons, photons, and gravitons and make them one particle, and do it on a massive scale.
we cant even prove that gravitons and gluons exist. w and z bosons last for less than a billionth of a second, and we cant confine photons without something absorbing them. sound feasible?

No because God created the universe.... It's impossible to do what God did. Oh and I love the scientific name.
What they probably did to make up the name.
'Okay, John, we're going to make up how the earth formed, because we're too scared to admit there is a God. What should we call it?'
'Uhhh. How about.. A bang? A big one?'
'Yes John! You're a genius! The Big Bang!'
It never happened.

You can do it in an particle accelarator provided you have 10 nuclear power plants powering it.

Humans are unable to recreate this event....so relax....

well, sorta..... they claim the 4 forces....
(except gravity, completely- it is said to be in its strongest form in the HIGHEST dimension #11. This idea has recently been added to string theory and allows string theory work more completely than it did before, mathematically.)
....and "different dimensions" are all contained in containers called branes in the 11th dimension...... these branes slam into each other and release energy/matter/time into a new brane / or dimension
(good video, but this point is brought in at 4:00 in the flick)

they claim it IS possible to create a new big bang.
http://space.newscientist.com/article/mg19125591.500
AND fairly effortlessly!!!
seems like the only thing we're missing is a magnetic monopole.... a small particle that is extremely heavy for its size and has a magnetic field that travels in only one direction.
(I believe magnetic monopoles could exist quantumly within black holes)
if string theory proves true, (by CERN in march)
then we CANNOT destroy ourselves or our universe by creating a new big bang/universe.
(string theory claims all the infinite universes are separated in most forms, even time within each can exist in infinite states without disrupting each other)
once you create this new big bang, it basically breaks off of our "reality" and all the dimensions "here" and starts to form in its own universe, and space. so you really don't get a chance to see or experience it before it breaks off into its own realm.
we seem to be safe from killing ourselves... , I mean if a big bang could damage a universe, wouldn't we see signs of it here in this one???

No this could not be done since we do not even have the physics to fully understand the moment of the Big Bang. Our physics so far only can take us back to a fraction of a second after the BB but "The Moment" is where we need a true working Unified Theory that would explain it using the 4 fundamental forces (co-existing and agreeing). Currently the Standard Model can't combine gravity with the other 3.

Like others here have so aptly pointed out, re-creating the conditions of the Big Bang would wipe out our universe. However, one of mankind's highest scientific goals is to devise a viable system that would combine the four fundamental forces. We've been successful with three of them, but so far gravity has resisted all attempts. So-called 'string theory' was developed in part to finally devise the Grand Unified Theory (..GUT..) or as it's also known The Theory of Everything.

In principle, maybe. In practice, not a chance. The numbers involved are almost inconceivably large.

You had better hope that it doesn't happen because if it did it would wipe out this universe, replacing it. Let the supercomputers do the modeling, but this is one experiment that should NEVER be tried.

No, the conditions are so extreme that they would be impossible to duplicate. We can't duplicate some conditions which are a lot easier than the Big Bang.
Anyway, why would you want to? You could be destroying our Universe while creating a new one!
