Darth, I agree with your point, but respectfully, I think it missed mine. Maybe I am just not making mine well. Let me try this. I realize it is simplistic, but it helps illustrate my point. Conjure up a singularity in the dead center of a big ball of nothingness. (You don't need the ball, actually, since it contradicts the notion of the singularity as "all there is," but it helps visualize the Big Bang. Now, the Big Bang occurs. Matter/energy spewing out and heading toward the exterior ball. ASSUMING no external gravitational forces, or other forces (and that has to be the case, consistent with the notion that the singularity is "all there is"), WHY wouldn't the first created matter hit the surface of the exterior ball at exactly the same time? And why wouldn't, at that moment, there be nothing but contiguous solid matter from the former singularity point to the surface of the ball. Why would there be any "space" in between pieces of matter? Why would there be any variation from one pole of the ball to another? I.e. how can it be that a singularity transforming to a universe of matter/energy sends out anything but concentric spheres of matter that are uniform? Traditional Big Bang theory holds that tug and pull of some kind eventually occurs, accounting for local variation in gravity, and that in turn allows for a variety of variation in the formation of matter. But why would there be any variation in the tug and pull to begin with? Unless there is an external influence on the system that is NOT part of the created matter/energy?

Perhaps the question cannot be answered since, at the point of the singularity, the laws of physics break down anyway. Yep, that's a cop out. I understand your point and am sure I'm not the one to explain for Physicist. I anxiously await his reply. My attempted explanation (wild-a$$-guess) assumed there would be sound after the bang and the sound waves themselves would disrupt the initial post-bang uniformity.
