would you bang the big bang?

i think that what the bible says goes. the bible doesn't mention the "big bang" so i don't think that it happened.

As well as you can picture the force that led to the big bang or the first spark of life on earth.

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

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.

No one "discoverd" the Big Bang - it is a theory, not a fact - just like evolution.\n\nIf you believe in God and believe that God created the universe you can still believe in the Big Bang theory - it may be the method in which He created the universe. \n\nBut to believe in the Big Bang theory without believing in God is a Big Mistake. "Nothing" cannot begat something, whether it is the universe, or life. To believe that out of nothing all of a sudden something came into existence defies good science. Even science iteself had to start somwhere - it could not come out of nothing!\n\nLife did not begin in some premordial ooze as the result of a reaction between certain chemicals catalyzed by sunlight. That theory is sheer stupidity and requires more faith to believe than it does to believe in God.

If I were you, I'd search it myself instead of asking people, but that's just me.\n\nThere are so many theories to how the universe started, in which the Big Bang theory is the most popular. In this theory, it all started with a single point with the same amount of matter in the universe and it was really really hot. Then it just explodes, continuing to expand at an alarming speed. It was so hot that not even the particles that made up atoms could not even form until the universe was expanded enough to cool down, and then the first atoms were made. Then it just continues to expand to where we are now.\n\nThat's one theory. I like the never-started theory. There was no beginning to our universe. The reason why the Big Bang theory is the most accepted theory is because we (us humans) like to think that there is a start to everything. It just makes sense that there is a beginning. And it's easier to build theories and ideas upon it.\n\nPS Penguins!!!

I would bang Maxwell apon the head

In physical cosmology, the Big Bang is the scientific theory that the universe emerged from a tremendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago

I am certain you have heard of the Big Bang if you can articulate the question as lucidly as you have.  See this month's Scientific American for an excellent article that delves into the latest expierimental evidence in support of current theories that take us back to the first millisecond of the universe.  This article is featured on the cover.  If you can't get your hands on it, send me an email to strangerbarry@yahoo.com and I'll scan / email it for you.

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

"Where?" requires the existance of space. There was no space before the Big Bang. We cannot even talk about "before", since there was no time, either. It's counterintuitive and cannot be assessed in a normal state of mind - logic won't help here, even a twisted one. Science struggles to answer the questions regarding the very beginning. What is known, however, is that right after the Big Bang there was no hydrogen - it was too hot for it to form. First quark-gluon plasma, then protons and neutrons, then hydrogen atoms. So it took some time, though, given the age of the Universe, it occurred almost instantaneously.

If you believe the theory of creation, found in all major religions, you don't have a problem answering your own question.  If you subscribe to the 'Big Bang' theory (or a derivitive thereof), I would have to ask 'Who lit the fuse?'

The second answer above is dead wrong. Well, not all of it ; )\n\nThe big bang DID create sound, although they are termed "acoustic oscillations" but they work just like sound does, with overpressure and underpressure but just on a larger scale. The "sound" of the big bang also had harmonics, just like any other sound does.\n\nThe big bang itself was likely an inflation of a high energy vacuum state and subsequent decay. That is why it is possible that it did not require any matter or energy to begin with, just virtual energy. We see this virtual energy in vacuums all the time, because our universe' vacuum state is non-zero.\n\nSo in short, the idea is that energy and matter decayed out of a vacuum state, and the acoustic oscillations, complete with harmonics, is visible in the CMB, so there was sound. How about that?

I agree that such an explanation is one possibility.  In fact, my failure to fully comprehend the Big Bang in a purely scientific manner is the only reason why I am an agnostic, and not an athiest.  I feel that I need to allow for the possibility.

err the big bang was not really a a collision of matter. All mass and energy in the universe existed at a sigularity, or a dimensionless point. The Big Bang simply expanded and inflated it.

how else would the universe have come into creation?  Before time existed, there must have been nothing, and at the first possible moment of time, there must have been some minute form of matter.  Whether or not the universe was created in a big bang, I cannot know, since if the big bang theory is true (as well as the Big Crunch theory), then it is possible that the universe has already cycled many times.\n\nBeyond that though, the Big Bang theory does NOT say that the size of the initial chunk of matter was infinitessimally small, it just says that it was supercompact.  It was probably insanely large, but relatively small for all the matter it withheld.

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.
