If matter cant be created or destroyed, explain the big bang please. No religious explanations please.?

Law of Conservation of Energy states\n\nEnergy and matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered\n\nAt the big bang, the temperature was 100 billion degrees C. So hot that everything was energy.\n\nThe big bang propelled out all this energy where some was transfered into matter.\n\nThe tempterature of the universe is now 5K but still the total energy and matter now is equal to the total energy and matter at the big bang

You have to think back and ask the correct questions to answer this one. The theory of the "Big Bang" is incorrect. First Question: "Where did the matter come from for the "Big Bang"? Answer: "From somewhere else". Keep asking the question of "Where did something come from"? and you have to arrive at the fact that at some point, there was absolutely nothing.\n\nThis is a very hard concept to understand and think about because you always want to think in terms of a "void" if you try to think of nothing, but you have to realize that "a void" is "something" so you have to think of "nothing", "nada", "zip".\n\nThen you can arrive to the conclusion that...\n\n"It is the propensity for NOTHING to create SOMETHING".\n\nThe very first thing nothing would create is energy, something that would keep manifesting itself and propegate. That is what you would call "Life". Some refer it to "God" but it still all the same thing and exists everywhere in the universe.\n\nThis "Energy" would eventually become so extreme that it would create the "void", then the energy would transform into matter and gravity and begin to fill the void.\n\nThese three forces are the basis for all the laws of our current "Universe" and have dictated it's behavior ever since.\n\nThe universe if far older then the 13 billion years old we now can detect, it is constantly changing, expanding, and filling the ever greater void it creates as the energy, matter and gravity continues to be created.\n\nTo answer your question, you are sitting on it, it does not sit on anything.\n\nWhen your coporal body can no longer contain the energy that created you, as in all "living" things, your energy will again become part of this universe, no matter how trivial that energy may be, it is still a part of the entire energy that was and is still being created at this time.

I don't see why the "God" and the "Big Bang" theories can't go hand-in-hand. My personal opinion is that GOD made the two atoms ram into each other, thus causing the BIG BANG occur. I think it makes sense enough, but that's just me...

This is probably more a philosophical question than scientific one, as it is (currently) impossible to prove.  The answer, then, is a matter of faith.  If you are religious, and believe in an eternal God, then there has always been something, but not the present universe (which, by definition, would have to exists "in" God, as that being is without boundaries and could not be contained).\n\nIf you are not religion-bound, then you can argue either point.  The Big Bang theory only speaks about what happened after the inception of the universe, not what was present before.

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."

Big Bang is a proven fact... nothing remains unsolved!\n\nBig Bang is that event in the history of the whole cosmos that without the big bang... the existence of the present cosmos would never have been possible.\n\nA cosmos without a Cosmos... it is only for an umpteenth moment of a second... the time between the dissolution of the Cosmos (called Pralaya in Hinduism) and the start of a fresh Cosmos with the big bang that there exists nothing but an absolute blank.\n\nI get a lot of queries as to why the Cosmos was created by Almighty God in the first place. What was the need to do that? If we define God then the things would become pretty clear.\n\n\nWhat is the Definition God? The sum total of all purified Souls Atmans in the whole of Cosmos at a given moment of time is what we know as Almighty God. These purified souls... the size of half a thumb as defined in the sacred Bhagvad Gita (the doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna at the time of Mahabharata, the war of dharma) unable to contain themselves explode with the big bang.\n\nThis conceptualizes the start of the Cosmos with a big bang. The explosion (the big bang itself) is so massive that all Souls Atmans spread out with unbelievable speeds in all directions. In the process on their way they collect impurities.\n\n\nAs the prime property of any soul atman is to remain in pure pristine form... it again starts on its journey of purification. This leads to the journey by a soul atman through a chain of manifestations (a total of 8.4 million manifestations in total)... the beginning of a cosmic life cycle. A total earthly journey of about 96.4 million years... a long journey indeed!\n\nThe sooner the big bang occurs... starts the journey of every soul atman to come back to its pristine pure form. As any planet like Mother Earth is found conducive for germination of any form of life... the Souls Atmans have their day.\n\nTo purify them... every soul atman needs a body to work out its karma. And what is karma? As defined in the Hindu sacred Scriptures and the Bhagvad Gita, karma is the process by which every soul atman is able to cleanse itself of the impurities contained within.\n\n\nSimilarly as the metal within an ore cannot separate itself on its own and requires the requisite mining machinery and the process... likewise every soul atman on its cosmic journey requires a body to work out its karma (i.e. remove the dross from within).\n\nThis is how the need for creating a Cosmos arises. The big bang is not a controlled feature. It happens on its own. The moment the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs (called Pralaya in Hinduism)... the combined power of all the souls (the size of half a thumb) unable to control it explodes with a big bang... the start of a new journey... a new Cosmos!\n\nWhatever logistics the various group of scientists put forward as to how the Cosmos was created... some accept and some do not accept the theory of the big bang... the facts and the truth remains the same. It is only through the process of the big bang and only the big bang that formation of any new Cosmos takes place.\n\n\nReduced to the basic building block of the whole Cosmos... the whole world nay the whole Cosmos is but a cluster of atoms and molecules. It is pure energy all around surrounded by ether... the black and the empty portion of the Cosmos.\n\nBhagvad Gita explains in minute details the complete formation of the Cosmos from the beginning to the end. Nothing is hidden... it is only when things are perceived from the angle of absolute faith... the inner meaning of the concepts explained in Bhagvad Gita become clear.\n\nBhagavad Gita is beyond the capture of the senses and the mind. The prime reason why majority of the scientists around the world have failed to learn of the wisdom contained in the Bhagvad Gita. It is not purely logistics but also the element of faith which is essential for learning what Bhagvad Gita has to impart to the humanity.\n\n\nOne single document Bhagavad

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!!!

This is probably the best explanation I can give you:\n\nThe big bang theory basicaly states that at one point, there was a huge ammount of energy that clashed with itself into a given point. Through various experiments, it has been proven that clashing highly mobile sources of energetic particles can result in genesis, in the formation of matter and anti matter. This means that this energy was transformed into matter (matter is basicaly just energy trapped into the form of an atom, giving curvature to the universe, and therefore having mass). The matter, as we know it today, shot towards 1 direction from the bang, and the anti matter into the other. Theoreticaly there should be the same ammount of matter as there is antimatter in the universe. There are galaxies just like ours out there made up of antimatter, and would look virtualy the same. If these galaxies were to come together, they would turn back into the energy, since the reaction of 1 atom of hydrogen, and 1 antihydrogen atom result in the release of a photon (energy basicaly put). The universe was made this way.\n\nP.S.  A Wood's answer is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  First of all, the big  bang does not state that it came from nothing, and second of all, the law of conservation of mass and energy is not newtonian law....  Jesus... such ignorance out there...

Gremlin I have contemplated this question for many years. The conclusion I have come to is this. For the Universe to exist today one of two things that we deem to be impossible has to have happened. Either something materialized from nothing, or something always was. At that point that we call "the beginning" one of those two things was fact. Which one, we may never know. So for me, "In the beginning God created" is as good an explanation as any. It cannot be proved or disproved. Perhaps it may be stated that in the beginning God said "BANG!!!". Perhaps God's previous job was just being an idea. Perhaps it was being the Idea (logos). Then the idea exploded into being, and God said "BANG".

Hello Rendier.. :)\n\nI just heard the other day, a scientist that said that you cannot produce something out of nothing..\n\nSo how then can they say, that the universe came from nothing..\n\nGod created the Heavens and the Earth..that makes more sense..It just seems to easy for those that do not believe in God..

That's the problem with the evolutionist's "theory" they say,"It was there and it exploded"No. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Have u heard of Intelligent design? Yea most of it is "religious" but see, the word "Creation" means the making from nothing" so u can easily say that God created the universe.It's easy to believe since no scientific evidence is needed.If the bang did come about, why do planets spin in opposite directions? Look in the conservation of angular momentum. I'm not trying to make u christian, but i'm glad u see a flaw in,these theories of the bang, no one was around at the time to know, so how could they be right? I'm glad u asked. My name is Tyler from Kearney, Ne E-mail me @ meatballofall@yahoo.com if u have more to ask or want to know more.

It's either God created it or it created itself. After the big bang, matter might have packed and packed together due to gravity. It packs itself, and pulls itself. As it becomes more dense, the center or core becomes hotter and hotter. The denser materials descend to the core, such as iron. Then at the surface, it's cool since it is exposed to space and is far from the core.

The Big Bang \n\nAbout fifty years ago, American astronomers studying the galactic star clusters, stumbled on evidence that the entire Universe is blowing up before our eyes. According to their observations, all the galaxies in the Universe are moving away from us and from one another at very high speeds, and the most distant are receding at the extraordinary speed of hundreds of millions of miles an hour.\n\nFirst there was nothing and it blew up and then there was everything and scientists have calculated that it all happened in 1043 of a second. [The] echo of that explosion can still be heard bouncing around in space. Scientists claim that in the big bang all of the fundamental particles necessary for life were formed. All of the complexity we see around us is the result of this massive explosion.\n\n"The new finding hit the scientific world like a thunderclap." It meant that the idea of an ultimate beginning was no longer merely religious dogma. Science itself now indicated that the universe burst into existence at a particular time in the remote past.\n\nIn 1992 measurements by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) and by the Hubble Space Telescope seemed to confirm beyond any reasonable doubt that the Big Bang cosmology is indeed correct. George Smoot, Professor at the University of California at Berkeley and Principle Investigator of the COBE team which made the discovery, said regarding these new observations, "What we have found is evidence for the birth of the universe . . . It's like looking at God."\n\nWorking backwards, the evidence implies that there was a time when the universe was infinitesimally small. The evidence from general relativity also indicates that it was not merely a case of the matter in the universe being concentrated at a particular location, but that space itself was this tiny. At a sudden instant in time all of the energy and mass in the universe was located at this infinitesimally small point and exploded. The currently observed outbound motion of the galaxies from each other is a continuing effect of that explosion.\n\n"The scientific community is prepared to consider the idea that God created the universe is a more respectable hypothesis today than at any time in the last 100 years," Frederic B. Burnham, science historian, declared.\n\nHowever, some die-hard secularists propose that the universe goes through endless cycles of expansions and collapses. Hence, eternity becomes nothing more than an eternal succession of big bangs followed by big crunches followed by big bangs followed by big crunches over and over again and again forever.\n\nBut this violates the second law of thermodynamics, the law of decay, that implies that the universe is in a process of gradual disintegration - running down, like a wound-up clock. And if it is running down, then there must have been a time when it was wound up. Once the big bang takes place and the universe begins its expansion, entropy starts to increase. From this point on it will never be able to go back to its original state.\n\nWhat's more, the first law of thermodynamics (the conservation of matter) implies that matter cannot just pop into existence or create itself. And therefore, if the universe had a beginning, then something external to the universe must have caused it to come into existence - something, or Someone, transcendent to the natural world.\n\nThe facts clearly indicate that the universe is not eternal, and it cannot originate itself The implication is that the universe began at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy. Science has begun to sound eerily like Genesis 1: "And God said, 'Let there be light"' (1:3).\n\nThe evidence requires that we believe God formed the universe at His command, pointing to the importance of taking God at His word literally - from the beginning both of time and the Bible. Second, there is such a striking parallel between the Hebrews 1

One of the most fundemental Laws of Physics is that matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed. The question I pose to science as to the existence of GOD is that if this Law is true, then where did all the matter and energy ORIGINALLY come from?

What lies beyond the edge of the universe is matter that is receding at a speed greater than that of light relative to us. Check out the Begy atomic model, It proposes that the big bang has no beggining and no end and is an ongoing process. Belief in God is possible, comprehension of God is not.

the same thing thats on this side. new matter is not being formed it is just expanding from the force of the big bang all those millions of years ago. Some scientists say the expansion will eventually stop and the universe will collapse onto itself, and then maybe explode again. All theories so in effect we dont know.

um     you can wonder a lot of crazy things about the universe when one takes the big bang into consideration...\nsay, one might imagine that all the matter that is us and our cosmos, was once one tiny particle- could it remain entangled?
