Explain the big bang i am confused about the specifics?

It is explosion of Gamma ray that led to the Big Bang as per the theory which is not fully scientifically proved as yet. Because, now also there are Gamma ray explosions take place in the Space from where stars and other Cosmic bodies are formed. Matter formation is billions of light years after the Big Bang.\n\nFor more, please read the fascinating book by Carl Sagan, 'Cosmos'.

The universe "before" or at the instant of the Big Bang was probably a very different place, and the physics we observe now might be very different from what we would observe under such extreme conditions. \n\nI might make a few comments to help you:\n1. there are four fundamental forces, not just 2 (strong, weak, gravity and electromagnetism)\n2. there are more kinds of acceleration than that caused by gravity\n3. gravity still exists even when forces are balanced and there is no acceleration\n4. the strong force still exists when forces are balanced and there is no acceleration (in an atom, the strong forces balance the EM repulsion of the protons).\n5. since time was created in the big bang, there is no "before", at least according to some views of the theory\n\nLook at the attached link to help you understand the big bang more.

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!!!

First of all, try not to think of the Big Bang as an "explosion." An explosion happens inside something else and has a center. As far as is known by the best scientists around, the Big Bang didn't happen inside any 'thing' else, and it has no center.  All this also means that you can't speak of a "large empty region" either because the concept of 'large' only makes sense when compared to something else. If you're still with me, then understand that only at the first instant of the Big Bang was there any "empty region" at all (called 'space'), and that began expanding. Today that expansion has reached outward some 13.7-billion light years.

I think you are confused a bit. If you look around at nature, it is incredibly complex. The more we study it and the more we analyze i and measure it, the more complicated it appears. \n\nThe scientific theories and laws are attempts to put some order into this mass of complicated observations, to try to explain what is happening. Predictions based on these scientific theories can be made, and if it is a good theory, then the prediction will be verified by data. \n\nThe big bang is just one theory for the origin of the universe that attempts to explain what we observe: hubble's law, the microwave background radiation, etc. It is an attempt to produce a simpler theory to explain a very complicated and confusing set of observations.

in its present form, it can't describe the state of the universe at time=0.  Thus, it doesn't answer the question of where did all the mass and energy come from

Surely you know the proponants do not have an answer. On the same note, neither can anyone answer (yet) what was there before Big Bang?

About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of pure speculation. This occurance was not a conventional explosion but rather an event filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe rushing away from each other. The Big Bang actually consisted of an explosion of space within itself unlike an explosion of a bomb were fragments are thrown outward. The galaxies were not all clumped together, but rather the Big Bang lay the foundations for the universe.

Technically it would probably be wrong to say the original matter in the universe was smaller than a grain of sand. The big band is the start of the universe, according to scientists. It's the start of the 4 dimensions(3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time). It's the beginning of all matter and energy. What was there before the big bang? Nothing(if you don't believe in God). So what was it that exploded in the big bang? It couldn't have been the grain of sand sized speck of matter because all matter was a result or bi-product of the big bang. Whatever exploded had to be there before the explosion but matter didn't exist before the explosion. It was a bi-product of the explosion. So, what exploded? Nothing exploded. That, in essense, is what the big bang theory says.........nothing exploded and in the process everything was created. Everything was created out of nothing.\n  You might say "but don't christians believe everything was created out of nothing". Yes. I (as a christian) believe that God created the whole universe out of nothing. He literally spoke it into existence. God said "let there be light and there was light" or so it says in Genesis chapter 1. You say "then what's the difference"? The difference is that the atheists is saying that everything came from nothing and no one since he doesn't believe in a supreme being. Christians believe that everything came from nothing but NOT from no one. There was a God there to make it happen.\n  I guess another problem I have with the big bang is that you have unbelievable order and design coming from an explosion.\nExplode a grenade sometime and when all of the metal pieces fall back to the ground, see it you have a rolex watch lying there.

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.

Wow! You do not ask for much do you...This is a very complicated question to answer...and frankly NO ONEyet fully understands how to answer it. \n\nAccording to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which is our premier way of explaining how gravity works, there is no formal distinction between the description of what a gravitational field is, and what space-time is.\n\nEssentially, space is what we refer to as 3 of the 4 dimensions to a more comprehensive entity called the space-time continuum, and this continuum is itself just another name for the gravitational field of the universe. If you take away this gravitational field...space-time itself vanishes! \n\nTo ask where space comes from is the same as asking, according to general relativity, where this gravitational field came from originally, and that gets us to asking what were the circumstances that caused the Big Bang itself. We don't really know.

How did matter come to exist? Obviously, these are not simple questions and throughout our brief history on this planet much time and effort has been spent looking for some clue. Yet, after all this energy has been expended through the BIG BANG, much of what we know is still only speculation. \n\nWhat came before the Big Bang?\nThe standard Big Bang model is singular at the time of the Big Bang, t = 0. This means that one cannot even define time, since spacetime is singular. In some models like the chaotic or perpetual inflation favored by Linde, the Big Bang is just one of many inflating bubbles in a spacetime foam. But there is no possibility of getting information from outside our own one bubble. Thus I conclude that: "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."

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.

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

well let us take a "logical" look....the big bang says that there was nothing, then something, and now everything is expanding away.  So how did things get farther away than time has permitted?  Hmmm...kind of a hole in the theory.
