The origin of the universe started with the Big Bang, but how the supernova explosion ignited has long been a mystery - until now. 
 In a new paper appearing in Science Magazine, researchers detailed the mechanisms that could cause the explosion, which is key for the models that scientists use to understand the origin of the universe. 
 "We defined the critical criteria where we can drive a flame to self-generate its own turbulence, spontaneously accelerate, and transition into detonation," says Kareem Ahmed, an assistant professor in UCF's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and co-author of the study.

    Despite a certain unavoidable amount of journalistic over-hype, this is a very important discovery. Having been an atheist myself, I know how atheists will spin it. 
 Bear in mind this is the mechanism of the big bang itself. No one is claiming to know where all that energy came from in the first place.

    yes, someday the scientists may discover HOW G-d created the universe. (The Bible teaches us WHY.)

    The Big Bang was clearly caused by global warming and climate change!

    Where did the matter come from before the big bang? Oh - I guess they havent figured THAT out yet-
 
To: Salman
    But,of course,to suggest that God...or “a god”...might have been ultimately responsible is silly,simplistic and juvenile.

    I personally think the “Big Bang” was the Fall of the Archangel Lucifer (AKA Satan). The universe was his realm.

    What does a flame...I.e..oxygen and fuel...turbulence got to do with origin of matter...in a non oxygen...fuel..scenario? Other than stoking their imagination?

    The problem is where did the flame and turbulence come from before the big bang?

    "Mach 5 hypersonic supernova explosion" this doesn't make any sense. 
  A nuclear weapon just out side the fireball is Mach 50. Why would the "big bang" be significantly smaller bang then a nuclear weapon?

    Its a model. For example, what does testing a scaled down moedl of a plane in a wind tunnel have to do with the actual airplane?

    Question would be: where did the stuff that went blooie come from in the first place? Scientists say matter cannot be created or destroyed.
