What about the Big Bang Theory?

I think it's a bunch of crap, people are terrified to believe in a higher power. There was no big bang... there was God and he wanted life on earth, so there you go.

The Big Bang theory does have a good amount of evidence behind it. So we’ll take a look at the three biggies.\n\na) Cosmological Redshift: We can use spectroscopy to determine the rate at which galaxies are moving away from us. Additionally, since it takes light time to travel, the further away we look, the further back in time we are looking.\n\nWhat we find, is that all galaxies in the universe are moving away from us. The further they are, the faster they’re moving away. So if we play the whole thing in reverse, all the galaxies will come back together at a single point in time. This point in time is what we call the Big Bang.\n\nb) The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB): Figuring that if you played everything back in time like this that all that energy would be crammed into a smaller space, that means the temperature would go up. And also since galaxies couldn’t have formed yet, we’d expect a gaseous sort of universe early on. As I discussed earlier, hot dense gasses emit photons at a peak wavelength corresponding to their temperature. Unfortunately, since things were so dense, photons couldn’t get very far.\n\nHowever, with the available information, astronomers were able to determine at what density and time, photons would finally be able to get far enough that we could observe them. This is called the “surface of last scattering” and has a very specific temperature. So we should be able to look for photons with energy (wavelength) corresponding to that temperature.\n\nBut due to redshift, they will appear at a different wavelength. This radiation should appear from every direction. This was a prediction made by the Big Bang theory that was later confirmed by Penzias and Wilson who stumbled on it accidentally!\n\nNo other theory of the universe has ever been able to make such a profound prediction to the degree of accuracy the Big Bang did in this instance. Making such amazing predictions is one of the highlights of a good theory. None before or since have ever been able to pull off such a feat.\n\nBut the successes of the CMB prediction don’t stop there. Another important piece of the puzzle lies in that the CMB couldn’t be completely even. If it were, then galaxies couldn’t form since there would be no “seeds” with higher mass and thus a stronger gravitational pull to form around.\n\nThus, the Big Bang theory had to predict that the CMB would not be completely homogeneous. It should have some variations to it, and those variations would have to be of a specific size in order to get the universe we see today.\n\nEarly results for the Big Bang didn’t look too good for this prediction and threatened to sink the whole ship. However, the devices used were not actually sensitive enough to pick up these minute variations. But recently, with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), these perturbations have been discovered precisely as predicted.\n\nScore two strong predictions for the Big Bang. Zero for any others.\n\nc) Distribution of Elements: With the conceptual framework intact thanks to the first point, it was also possible to calculate how much of each element should be formed in the initial event. It should be obvious that, given a bunch of protons, electrons, and neutrons, hydrogen should be the easiest to form. Indeed, stick a proton and an electron in a room together and they’ll automatically hook up due to their magnetic attractions.\n\nAdditionally, with such high energies, it would be possible to fuse some of this hydrogen into helium and even a little bit of heavier elements. Since astronomers had a good handle on the energies, it was possible to calculate how much of each there should be. If that number didn’t match up with observations, the Big Bang theory would be shot.\n\nFortunately, the predictions do match up pretty closely. I stated a value earlier of 80% hydrogen, 20% helium, and neglected the rest since it would be statistically insignificant. In the universe today,

ok..the big bang is not true..the accepted theory is..wen all the elemstns from earth went to outer space and the moon's gravity pulled it ans tthats how the moon was created

The "big bang" is all about math. But not a zero divided by x math...a little more complex. Two competing theories are Inflation - which states that a sudden switch in the vaccuum state formed a false vaccuum that led to a positive-feedback mechanism of matter creation within a few seconds that happened so quickly that space began to expand faster than the speed of light, blowing apart spacetime into a "flat universe".\n\nThe second is the "ekpyrotic scenario" where two membranes collide in five-dimensional space and cause a huge release of energy that condenses into matter. This one's a bit scary because it also postulates that the collision could happen again at any moment and destroy the universe in a big ball of flame.

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

The big bang theory makes several very specific predictions about what astronomers should find in the universe if the theory is correct.  One of these is the "microwave background radiation," the remnants of the period in the early universe when it first cooled enough for light to be visible.  The theory also predicts what that radiation should look like in terms of temperature, density, and fluctuations.\nA couple of Bell Labs engineers, working with a microwave antenna, had this persistent noise they couldn't figure out the source of.  After isolating it, and measuring it in various parts of the sky, they discovered it was this very background radiation that was predicted by the big bang theory -- and they weren't even looking for it.  Since then we've launced satellites that have measured the CMB (cosmic microwave background) across the entire sky at high resolution, and it matches the theory's predictions to a very high degree of accuracy.\n\nThat's just one prediction the theory makes that has been found to be correct -- there are dozens of others.  Go to your library and get some books on the big bang and cosmology in general -- too much to answer here :)

You get into Quantum Theory with your intrigue and there is no evidence to support that the universe is not infinate.\n\nHOWEVER, according to the Big Bang theory there was nothing and then there was something in a centralized location millions (billions) of years ago. At the speed that the universe is spreading outwards there has to be an end to it and scientists are trying to get telescopes powerful enough to see to the beginning of time.\n\nWhat lays on the other side? Nobody knows.

I believe in the Big Bang theory and evolution.  No "one" caused the BB.  Scientists are still theorizing on what may have caused the BB.  \n\nI like the theory of BB's being commonplace and "new universes" being created.  Multiverses.  :-)

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.

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. \nIn 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemaître's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance. \n\nThe big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery. \n\nAlthough the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions.

It is generally stated that there are three observational pillars that support the Big Bang theory of cosmology. These are the Hubble-type expansion seen in the redshifts of galaxies, the detailed measurements of the cosmic microwave background, and the abundance of light elements. (See Big Bang nucleosynthesis.) Additionally, the observed correlation function of Large-scale structure of the cosmos fits well with standard Big Bang theory.

For your theory to work some 'thing' must exist before the Big Bang event and in which it could occur. Science has found absolutely no evidence whatsoever that any 'thing' preceded the Big Bang.

Just check this link and go thru the following article also\n\nhttp://www.big-bang-theory.com/\n\nBig Bang Theory - The Premise\nThe Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. \n\nAccording to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a mathematical concept which truly boggles the mind). These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? We don't know. Why did it appear? We don't know. \n\nAfter its initial appearance, it apparently inflated (the "Big Bang"), expanded and cooled, going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day and we are inside of it: incredible creatures living on a unique planet, circling a beautiful star clustered together with several hundred billion other stars in a galaxy soaring through the cosmos, all of which is inside of an expanding universe that began as an infinitesimal singularity which appeared out of nowhere for reasons unknown. This is the Big Bang theory. \n\nBig Bang Theory - Common Misconceptions\nThere are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe. \n\nAnother misconception is that we tend to image the singularity as a little fireball appearing somewhere in space. According to the many experts however, space didn't exist prior to the Big Bang. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, when men first walked upon the moon, "three British astrophysicists, Steven Hawking, George Ellis, and Roger Penrose turned their attention to the Theory of Relativity and its implications regarding our notions of time. In 1968 and 1970, they published papers in which they extended Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to include measurements of time and space.1, 2 According to their calculations, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy."3 The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know. We don't know where it came from, why it's here, or even where it is. All we really know is that we are inside of it and at one time it didn't exist and neither did we. \n\nBig Bang Theory - Evidence for the Theory\nWhat are the major evidences which support the Big Bang theory? \n\nFirst of all, we are reasonably certain that the universe had a beginning. \nSecond, galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called "Hubble's Law,"

The Big Bang theory itself, doesn't say anything about the *cause* of the explosion. It describes only how the Universe evolved after the explosion took place.\n\nThe reason is twofold.\nFirst of all, the models physicists use to describe the Universe, like General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics break down in the extreme conditions immediately after the initial explosion. However, they do a very good job in describing the existing data afterwards. And with the recent high precision measurements by satellite of the cosmic background that is very impressive.\n\nThe second reason is that GR and QM are only approximations of the correct theory. In fact they give different answers in the region were they overlap. Fortunately this happens only in extreme conditions, close to black holes for instance. And, you guessed it, in the microseconds after the Big Bang.\n\nConclusion: there is therefore a lot of room left to speculate. Not for the scientists though, because there are no data available for these initial moments of the Universe. No data means, nothing to test theories on.

There is a theory that the big bang was a result of a collison of two other universes. Say there is this sphere and inside this sphere there are other gelatinous spheres, these are the other universes, and two collided in a way that they created a big exlosion, which is the Big Bang.

Big Bang is a theory that tries to explain the formation of the universe, its galaxies, its stars and planets etc.\n\nIt says that the Universe was created by an explosion of a Primeval Atom thus causing it to expand and move away from each other. This was actually based on the Hubble Law which says that Galaxies around us are expanding at speeds directly proportional to their distance from Earth, based on the observation of Edwin Hubble, 1929.\n\nIts a huge topic with lots of technical arguments and counter arguments. Here is the link that will satisfy your quest on Big Bang, atleast for starters...\n\n.:Fishie:.
