How do you think the Universe started?
 

there are some people who think there's some guy who said let there be this and let there be that...and there are those who think there was a big bang that got things going. all of the different theories seem so illogical to me. if there was a big bang, what was it like before the big bang? how could there be infinite nothing? how could something just form from nothing? anyone have some more interesting theories to fuck with my mind some more?

I started it, now bow down bitch!

is that true you really started the universe BRISK?

kak_azn started it

YO! For real it was like an explosion or somethin' yo.

It says so on the Internet, so it's true.

Since matter (and energy) can neither be created nor destroyed, the Big Bang theory seems to go on the assumption that matter always existed.

Personally I'm not sure whether the same laws apply when all the matter in the universe is compressed into one big ball.

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage

No idea, but this thread can go on till the end of life :)

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.

In 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.

The 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.

Although the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions.

PS Your question is one of those unanswered questions that will never be proved.

Big Bang...nuff said.

I believe in the Gang Bang theory...a big bukkake fest created the ooze out of which we were all created.

The fact that uni verse is constantly expanding is one factor that gives to this Georges Lemaître's theory.

that's why it's so fun to think about. i drive myself crazy pondering on this shit...it's mindblowing, i dont think we have a possible way of even fathoming the truth...

string theorists suggest that the "big bang" was possibly the result of two parallel universes colliding.

I saw two BBW's in the grocery store yesterday morning that could've caused it.

Read that site, and you will learn about how the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe.

You said it a funny way but that is the truth. :thumbsup

i feel sorry for you...

National Geographic had a great special on it last week.

Yes, it started with a bit of gas, and yeah, if you want to believe in Creationism you can go with the argument that He put the wheels in motion.

Ok - if all the matter is spreading out away from us - how come some of it is heading towards us?

IE the Milky Way and the galaxy Andromeda are on a collision course - long long way off in terms of our tiny numbered days here - but perhaps not so long away in cosmoligical terms.

Im sure there are calculations that can show its due to gravitational deflection - but it is an indication anyways that it can all collapse again - at least certain large sections of it.

With the absolute seemingly vastness of space and time - I seriously have to consider that all this down on this rock is just a very very strange illusion.

In fact - I find it sooooo freaking strange and illusion (this down here) - when I consider just how utterly tiny we as individuals are - that I see no reason at all to suspect that we dont carry on in some other "strange illusion" after we die here.

I mean - how much stranger than this life can it get? Probably a whole lot stranger - and maybe - less strange too.

The state of the universe before the big bang - well - another form of illusion I guess.

It easier to understand when you realise that YOU TOO - are a bit of the shit that was chucked out of an explosion. You are not separate from it or special - you are a part of it.

To portray - somebody once said that the definition of the word nature was "All that is not human kind".

Personally how can anyone be so utterly thick to even attempt to portray US as something separate from everthing else.

When you feel the wind on your face next time - your skin is breathing it in - you move through the universe and it moves through you constantly.

We are all part of it - and we are all one.

Hope this helps.

fuck I dont know sorry see siggy

also,think about what would you do if you knew everything there is to know.

As far as I know, the closest scientific theory has to do with the primordial soup, but I don't really know the details.
