My Take on The Big Bang

[russianteen]

I know that this is a commonly debated topic, and we all know what the truth is *wink wink*, but I feel like ranting about it anyway. We have all heard about the big bang, but i'd like to explain it all anyway. According to that theory, all matter was condensed into one point, and that was the universe. There was nothing outside it. The one point in the universe was everything, and one day it exploded. That, along with the rest of the theory, seems seriously flawed.

For an explosion to happen, one or more forces have to act upon another group of forces. According to the big bang theory, there were no outside forces, or anything else outside the universe. There was no outside. Yet there was a big boom that eventually led to the creation of planets, stars, and of course us. hmm...nothing wrong with the theory yet?

One thing that I have thought about is if there was a big bang from one central point, if all matter wasn't incinerated from the start, it would all fly in a different direction from a single starting point. All chunks created by the explosion, however big or small, would go outward in its own way a nothing would come into contact with anything else. This would make galaxies or any clusters of spacial objects impossible to prove.

I'm going into my freshman year in high school in a few days and i don't think my opinion will be popular with most of my peers and teachers. sigh...damn liberals...

Big Bang? MOAB Bump!!!!

Here is a good site you may wish to read. Your take on the Big Bang is not correct.

Moab Bump! They're talking about the MOAB!

Well the singularity is kind of a simplified explanation. Many people are pushing toward the "no beginning" idea. Bascially with relativity as an item aproaches light-speed time appears to slow down. So if you were to wind back the clock you'd never get to the starting point because as each object fled at extrordinary speed it distorted time.

Of course I'm tired and I probably butchered that explanation.

There's also the hypothesis that matter doesn't exist quite as we know it and the universe is mearly the result of something outside of normal space-time.

Welcome to Free Republic, kid.

actually im 14 lol. also, about what some other people said. 1-this is ONE view on the big bang. Some are even more absurd. On TechTV one theroretical physicist actually said that when there is absolutely nothing, some sort of explosive bubbles appear, and eventually cluster up and explode. I'm dead serious. Also, im new to FR so please explain what a bump is... :)

Opinions are never popular with teachers. For many reasons.

As for the Big Bang? Observational time is too short to support any theory. Could be the expansion phase of bang, bang, bang where the universe pulses eternally inward and outward. Or the 'expanding' universe could just be an observational anomaly. Or we could just be a single atom in a grain of sand that just got smashed with a hammer by a very (very) big kid playing with his dad's tools.

What works is real. Whether you are navigating one of our starships between stars, or galaxies, or trying to locate a specific star with a telescope, or flying between planets in the solar system, you need a model of the universe that allows you to use its' particular mathematics to accomplish your feat successfully. Choose the model (theory) that suits your purpose and go with it (BTW, the flat earth model works quite well for navigating an automobile between cities. No theory is obsolete, they just get forgotten as a theory).

It's what ya get on your head for posting vanities.Just kidding!!!!! Just kidding!!!!

My questions for the big bang theory: Who made what blew up, and who made it blow up? ;-)

there are also beliefs (BELIEFS!) that the "Big Bang" is a cycle: that is, the universe expands out, but since space is slightly negatively curved, it continues contracting into a "big crunch" as Hawking likes to call it. When it reaches it's smallest point it simply folds over itself and starts expanding again in the "big bang" fashion you're familiar with.

and that's just one of their crackpot theories.

[russianteen]

huh? lol...

[russianteen]

heh that big crunch theory makes me hungry

[M. Peach]

Let's say for the heck of it, that some race was created in this universe or some former universe - that one of its members became so intellectually advanced and got so bored that he wanted to create his own universe - and he threw all of these gases and gravity in motion so that he could watch it all come together to see what would happen.

In some parts of this universe that he threw together, life was created and he watched it grow, letting each living entity develop on its own to see what would happen. Each entity and it's progeny was left to it's own ability to grow and develop - or destroy itself.

Just think - if you had immortality and the capability to do anything you wanted - what would you do with your time?

I think this explains both theories.

Reasons like it interferes with their work of turning you into a complacent, compliant sheep...Opinions are for the elite, the movers and shakers. All others should just keep quiet and do what they're told, think what they're told, and never question authority or an elite.

The Big Bang is just an interim theory until a better one comes along. It doesn't matter, anyway. The start of the universe was a one-time event — and we missed it. It's time to get over it.
