Could it be matter? I thought the Big Bang created matter, energy, time, and light. So what could it be?

no one knows what existing in the earliest fractions of a second (i.e. nano seconds) - but in the first millisecond or so all the matter in the universe was quarks and gluons - this quickly cooled and these particles combined to form HARDONS (the subatomic particles we know today - protons, neutrons, etc.), but they existed in a plasma (like lightening)  After about 380,000 years the hardons cooled enough to form neutral atoms

Hmmm...very theoretical of an answer you pursue there, my friend.\n\nSince our limted senses are not able to confirm our speculations, I shall speak in a dialect to the speculations only.\n\nThe matter and energy hols themselves in individual co-relation, and would cease to exist in this paradox without each other.\n\nThe Big Bang itself holds itself as a theory due to the sole fact, that the Universe is observed to have expanded, and it supports Einstein's theories as well. \n\nIn such an accordance, energy is prone to have evolved into matter, from Einstein's equation, which seems to be pretty logical, due to the colossal amount of energy at that point in time, that may have resulted in the formation of Universe.\n\nAs the theory goes, the 'infinite' amount of energy was existant for only a millisecond or so. It blast was followed by the formation of waves, which collapsed into miniscule particles we call photon, electron, and neutron and perhaps some other form of matter. This matter furthermore bonded together to give birth to the present Universe.\n\nWhat is actually amazing is the very fact, that all this occured in a few seconds. The forces took over and resulted in various formations, that we bear to our knowledge. We ourselves bear credit to such particles. The concept of life is a debatable query, yet it may hold itself in a form of energy as well. A sort of self-functioning energy that holds this matter in a co-ordinated existence. What we call memory, emotions and other fragments of our brain, could be a manifestation of this energy as well. Perhaps energy bears itself true to the 'spirit' as we address it. \n\nWhatever the matter, yet one factuality is in the least doubt. Matter cannot produced, nor destroyed, for just a creation or devastation would bear no fundaments to it, for energy holds itself responsible for every action. Such a creation/devastation would be like killing death. Heh he...\n\nTill next time, my friend, adieu!

If M-theory is correct, the Big Bang may have been caused by a collision between other universes so you may find other universes (perhaps with differing physics to our own) beyond our universe. Otherwise you would find nothing.

LOL I like Mainworry's answer...not!\nCreate anything living without using matter that already exists.\nHe's right, I can't we all can't.... yet!\nBut maybe we will Create matter, out of energy one day.\nThen what will he say.\nBut I know something I can create right now...GOD.\nYes I can create GOD In my own image.

Light of a form of energy. Energy is the only thing in universe. There are different forms for energy. Light is just another form of energy - A radiation. \n\n   Hope you know that matter (whatever it is) is just Energy got trapped in space. Matter produces energy in-order to maintain its stability. That may be a chemical reaction, a nuclear reaction or even annihilation. This released energy may contain light energy and so light is produced.\n\n  There are different theories to explain what is light.\n\n1. Newtons Corposcular theory - Light is a stream of corpusles (small balls) - and thus exhibit a particle nature.\n\n2. Hygen's Wave theory - Light is comprised of compressions and rare-fractions and thus exhibit a wave nature.\n\n3. Maxwell's Electro-Magnetic theory - Light is a combination of electrical and magnetic field perpendicular to each other - travells in a straight line in a constant speed.\n\n4. Max- Plank's Quantum theory - Light cotains packets of energy - called photons. The packets are called Quanta\n\nThese theories are quite old and some how relevent even in theses days. Today we know that light exhibits both particle and wave nature.\n\nLight exists for ever. - It is never created nor destroyed.\nIt only changes its form.

speaking in terms of physics, there exist only two fundamental components of the universe. they are: energy and matter. \n "the interaction between these(energy and matter) is what force is."

I believe in a comparitively new but very popular theory that Universe creation and destruction are cyclic in nature. Its like the BIG BANG, then BIG CRUNCH, then BIG BANG again and so on.... The energy for the newest big bang event (the one studied by Edwin Hubble), came from the previous big crunch.  The Cosmic Microwave Background, when studied suggests that the radiation at the denser parts of the universe are heavily red shifted. This is an evidence in support of energy being 'old'.

Okay considering this scientifically (ie not just assuming there is a God) at the moment no one is sure how the big band happened. However the big bang was the start of time as well as space so it is difficult to talk about before. Some scientists believe that the big band was caused by tiny fluctuations of the vacume. Something like the universe can be forever just by never stopping or by time ending much as it began in a 'big crunch'. It is possible that there is something beyond the universe. M-theory suggests that there are many different dimensional universes floating around in a larger dimensional space. All of these are of course theories the point is to try to use these to make observable predictions which will either support or contradict the theory.

The concept of universe is associated with matter expanding in space . The same space can be occupied by anti matter as well . So space and time quantum are across the boared on the universe and even far beyond that .

Hmmmm......... could it be energy?????

Just one doubt about your  theory,how do you know that only one big bang has taken place as you say that a second one is coming up???And tell me how you would accelerate something to the speed of light as the mass would become infinite.\nAnd according to your theory the total energy in the universe will go on increasing.You are stuck in a viscious circle!!!

*Edit2*\nBe careful! Most people that have replied to this question have obvious lack of knowledge in quantum field theory, relativity, cosmology, string theory and particle physics. I don't know where they get their facts from, but they are outdated and don't contain any correct information from ANY of the five fields I listed above. They do sound very matter-of-fact though. At least go to that www.superstringtheory.com website to see for yourself who is right and who is wrong.\n\nWhat you have loosely described is called the horizon problem. It was a huge problem for cosmologists and physics theorists to solve, and all the answers aren't quite in place yet, but I'll give you the jist and you can visit that website I mentioned to get the real goods on exactly why and how we know what we know.\n\nThe "big bang" was actually not an explosion, it was a rapid expansion, like a balloon being inflated. The universe started out as nothing but a seemingly empty vacuum that expanded so fast it released a whole lot of energy. This energy started out as extremely hot radiation that cooled into particles like quarks and gluons. These quarks and gluons then came together to form protons which then cooled further and formed atomic matter, which we are all familiar with (except for religious folk who don't want to think very hard, they like simple, three-word answers that start with "G" and require no thought).\n\nThe horizon problem, kind of like what you described, is that light can only travel at a fixed speed, but the universe is huge (over 50 billion light years across) and has NOT existed long enough to allow light to travel from one side to the other (the oldest light we see has travelled 40 billion light years even though the universe is only 14.5 billion years old - the discrepancy is due to expansion). In fact, it is unlikely that light from one side of the universe will ever reach the other side because the universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. \n\nWhat inflation also did is almost instantly expand the matter that now makes up the Earth so far away from the matter making up those early galaxies that the light from them is only just reaching us today. The light takes even longer to reach us than the distance to the galaxies because we are moving away from those galaxies faster than the speed of light. You might think this means the light would never reach us but this is not true because as the photon travels towards us, the expansion rate of the part of the universe it is traveling through gets slower and slower relative to us until the photon's speed is greater than the expansion speed and it zooms to us. Thus the galaxy might have started out only a few billion light years away but the expansion caused the photon to take 10 billion years to get to us, so we see these galaxies as they were 10 billion years ago.\n\nAs for the rest of the horizon problem: Studies of the cosmic background radiation show that the entire universe was isotropic in the beginning (that means it was almost the same everywhere). The cosmic background radiation is almost like a giant cast of the universe - it shows the shape and contours of many different properties of the universe when it was only about half a million years old. Anyways in order for the universe to be the same everywhere, it means the particles had to be all interacting with each other over a short distance, and inflation explains this very well. It makes the universe and all matter in it small enough that all matter is initially able to interact before being blown all outward in 3 dimensions like a balloon.\n\n*Edit*\nI just want to add that the universe is ~14.5 billion years old and the Earth is not travelling at the speed of light relative to spacetime, we zip around our galaxy at a few hundred kilometers a second and our galaxy whips around its cluster at an even greater speed, but not even close to the speed of light.

Science words.  I think about this alot. Even we humans have figured out how to create mini black holes, so I think that it's very possible the universe(s) was 'created'.  On the other hand, pure thought can create reality.  We may be someone's thoughts or someone's dream.....

the universe WAS a singularity (everything packed into an tiny tiny tiny space) before the big bang. So, i guess, technically, you  can go see the consequence of a singularity by opening your eyes. but see one as a singularity, i have no idea, sorry.

String theory.  Two parallel universives touched briefly - creating the big bang.

People would take you more seriously if you wrote in proper English.\n\nYou have good thinking skills!  You are asking the right questions; keep it up!\n\nYour questions are dealt with in the field of "cosmology," which is a branch of physics.  Specifically, you are asking questions about the Theory of Relativity and the Big Bang.\n\nAccording to the Theory of Relativity, the structure of space is defined by the gravitational field generated by matter.  According to the Big Bang theory, everything began as an infinitely small, infinitely dense point about 13.7 billion years ago.  This point exploded, and continues to explode, so that matter and energy fly outward.  This is called "the expansion of the universe."\n\nWhen you put relativity together with the Big Bang, that means that space is expanding.  No one knows what space is expanding into, and at present, there is no way of knowing.  The Universe might be expanding into another, larger Universe, or it might be expanding into nothing.  This "nothing" is not a vacuum, it is litteraly nothing.  There would be no matter and no energy, not even gravity to give structure to the nothing.\n\nIs there an end to space?  If the Universe is expanding into nothing, then there is an end.  It is the outer edge of the gravitational waves being emitted by the Universe's matter.  Electromagnetic radiation would probably extend as far as the gravitational waves.  Matter would be lagging far behind the wavefront.\n\nIf the Universe is expanding into another Universe, then there is an end to our Universe; it is at the interface with the other Universe.  What this interface is like, is impossible to know because we have no knowledge of what the other Universe is like.  Suppose it is identical to ours, the same forces--gravity, electromagnatism, strong, and weak--and the same matter--hadrons and leptons. In that case, the interface would probably be a shockwave where matter was compressed by the advance of our Universe, but on either side of the shockwave, space would be continuous.\n\nBut suppose the larger Universe was much different than ours.  Who knows what kind of wild interaction takes place at the boundary?  It might be something mild, as in the case of a similar Universe, or it might be utter annihilation, or anything in betwee.  In this dissimilar Universe scenario, the space of our Universe would have a definite boundary, and on the other side of it would exist a different kind of space.  There is no sensible way to guess at what it might be like.\n\nNow, we have estabilished that if the Universe is expanding into "nothing" that there is a definite end to space.  However, if the Universe is expanding into something (another Universe), then, does space have an end.  Well, that is an unanswerable question because we have no knowledge of the larger universe.  Maybe it originated in a big bang, the way ours did, in which case it also has a definite ending.  But maybe it has always existed and goes on forever.  There is no way to know.\n\nYou are asking very good questions.  You will probably find it very interesting to read about the Theory of Relativity and the Big Bang.  Below are a couple of links and you can find a lot more by searching the Internet.  Your school or public library will have books on the subject, and of course, you can talk to your teachers.\n\nGood luck, and keep asking questions!

big bang. and its a big universe, we cant be all alone
