How the universe came about?

Nobody knows for sure. There are only theories and beliefs. Some think God made it, others say it was a large ball of gas, than again it was created from another older universe. The ideas are endless, like the universe or is it(?).

It's a big mystery. I have read that initially, at the onset of the Big Bang, all the matter of the universe existed as a singularity that was infinitely dense and it, suddenly, expanded several times the speed of light. Once the expansion, or explosion, occurred the mass was no longer homogenous, but was clumped together, which can explain the formation of the planets, stars, etc. It's funny that all the big brains of the scientific community can tell you what happened .1, .01, .001 seconds (and so on) after the big bang, but none of them can tell you what occured the half second before.

Allow me to confuse you even more. \n\nTo begin with, the universe is not the result of an explosion. An explosion takes place inside something else, like a building, earth's atmosphere, etc.,  There is absolutely not one single shred of evidence that our universe began inside anything else.\n\nIn the first few instants of the universe there was nothing but spacetime and pure energy--no matter (mass) of any kind, including hydrogen. It wasn't until the universe was about 3 minutes old that the first low-mass atomic nuclei began to form, and another 400,000 years would pass before neutral atoms formed. Finally, after that 400,000 year point, the universe had cooled enough that hydrogen could first appear to fill the already existing spacetime volume of the universe.

god has no beginning and has no end\nhe wasnt created\nhe is since forever and will stay forever\nno time limits\nand the creation of the universe started with the BIG BANG which was an expolosion emmitting light.....\nso light basically was one of the first creations\nand god commanded...and things came into existance!

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.

Simple question, simple answer, GOD. You think the whole universe came from a dot? If you standing tall enough to see the entire milky way galaxy, our earth is smaller than a dot. Scientists can't understand that. How could you ever squish  the whole universe into a dot? \nAnswer: God created heaven and the earth and all that are in them is. I say this because the BIBLE says so.\nHey!! do you know what universe means?\nUNI-single, VERSE-spoken sentence, single spoken sentence(Genesis 1:1).

The essence of the Big Bang theory is pretty simple:  sometime billions of years ago the universe began;  everything now in the universe was created from energy/matter that was compacted into a really, really small volume/space, and indeed that really, really small volume/space was all there was to the universe at that moment; and since the universe began, it's been expanding.  These are the essential points of the theory.  Over time, we've added new details, such as pinning down the age of the universe to within a few hundred million years (last I heard, we thought it was 13.7 +/- 0.2 billion years old).  And a lot of theoretical and observational work have gone into investigating and refining the theory.\n\nAs to why we think that there was a Big Bang instead of, say, a universe which had always existed or a universe which came into being pretty much fully formed, the main reason and the reason we started thinking there was a Big Bang in the first place is because of very peculiar observations that we can make of distant galaxies.  This observation is that, except for a bunch galaxies which are both nearby and gravitationally bound to our own galaxy, all the galaxies we can see are moving away from both our galaxy and all other galaxies.  Also, the speed with which a galaxy is moving away from us depends directly on how far away from us it is (e.g. galaxies farther away from us are moving away from us faster than galaxies which are closer).  And the reason we first infered a Big Bang from this is that if you imagine running this movement backwards, doing a cosmic rewind if you will, then all the galaxies will be moving back towards each other, and eventually will all find themselves in the same place.\n\nSeveral years after this observation, a key predicition of the Big Bang theory was verified.  When the universe was young, it was also really hot and so for a time would have given off light all its own (I'm simplifying things a bit, but these are the essential facts as we know them).  It was predicted that some of this light should still be around.  And, lo and behold, at the very same time that people were making this prediction and beginning to think of looking for it, practically right down the road some experimentalists stumbled upon it accidentally.\n\nSo, in short and hopefully simple words, that's what the Big Bang is and why we think it happened.

there are many theories had been formulated by scientists...\n1. the big bang theory -- it states that at first there was a blazing or hot sphere...untill time goes on this sphere continues to acccumulate heat..after such time it bursted and emitted particles and this particles formed into different galaxies.\n2. the collision theory--scientist said that there was a comet heading to another comet in space..then this two comets collided with each other and there particles scattered into space and therefore creating galaxies.\nand there are other more theories..\nbut for me it is really god who created the galaxies and space...cause if there is a thing or a galaxy probably somebody puts it there..or somebody is responsible for it to be created...

Well, its been theorised that what is beyond the universe is a fourth dimensional bowl. Basically our universe is a 3d soup encased in a four dimensional bowl. How was that made? I would think the same way that our universe was created. I mean, we have only just begun to comprehend the world around us, many of the theories that are coming out are exactly that theories because we really dont know. Untill we can explore more of our universe, we arent really going to know, and if its in a 4th dimension, we really wont know. But, what you could do, is look at some of the sources, and hopefully those will help.

The theory of the big bang doesn't explain things before it. But usually it's believed that before the creation of the universe there was energy concentrated or concentrating to the critic point where it blasted and spreaded through universe. The Big Bang theory is'nt the only theory about the creation of the universe, only the most accepted, you could find very interesting and different ideas. I don't like religious answers because their principal argument is faith and since faith can't be proven or refuted, I don't think it can be used as a valid argument, sounds tautologic for me (in logic, tautology is an statement that is ever true).

The big bang is the creation of the universe. Scientists have recorded an echo in space, it is the echo of the big bang.

How?  It was created by the Big Bang (or simply known in physics as 2 branes slapping together, causing the big bang).  This is also known as the Kaluza-Klein Theory and a similar theory is M Theory (aka Strings).  Branes exist outside our Universe (in the Multiverse) and when they come together matter is formed where-ever they touched.\n\nWhy was the Universe created?  Because without it, it would be VERY boring indeed.\n\nBranes\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane\n\nKaluza-Klein Theory\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Kaluza-Klein+Theory&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaluza-Klein_theory\n\nM Theory\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory

Maybe it was god. maybe it was the big bang, maybe god created the universe through the big bang...I dont know...but I just want to 'think - out - loud' in this forum....maybe the Universe alwasy existed? No beginning? no end? Because we experience life and death in every cycle on Earth doesnt mean the Universe is also controlled in the same manner. *sigh* I wish I knew it all :)

The universe is believed to have begun with the Big Bang. However the term 'begun' is a bit misleading since the Big Bang created time itself. Thus, if you think about it, the universe began with the Big Bang but, at the same time, it was always there since time itself only started then!\n\nIF the universe is on course to collapse in the Big Crunch presumably the argument will reverse and time will come to an end.

The Big Bang theory is a scientific theory in cosmology, initially suggested by Georges Lemaitre. It is essentially the most widely accepted theory about the universe's origin. \n\nThe idea is that the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago (current estimate ~13.5 billion) from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter in all directions. Before that point all matter was concentrated at an infinitessimal point, known as a singularity. \n\nThe idea was most strongly propounded after the astronomer Edwin Hubble (after whom the famous telescope is named) found in 1929 that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance, suggesting at some point they were all at a single point. The theory also predicted the existence of a cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). and received widespread acceptance when this radiation was actually discovered by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson in the 1960s.

I have no clue!! God IS REAL and He DID make the universe. Please explain to me how everything just all of a sudden boomed and everything came to be. I DONT THINK SO! GOD MADE THE WUNIVERSE!!!!!!!!
