What existed before the Big Bang?

Re: What existed before the Big Bang?

I don't think the Big Bang happened. Without heat and time (of which there were neither), you can't have an explosion, so how could there have been a Big Bang?

Time doesn't really exist now either. It's just a measurement we've created to better understand things, so to say time didn't exist seems silly, not to mention explosions don't have to be caused by heat. Chemical reactions can cause explosions no matter the temperature.
In short, my hair is a bird, your argument is invalid.

Galactus? I forget.

Re: What existed before the Big Bang?

Never say never... I'm sure a lot of things didn't make sense to humans in the 1300s that are now common knowledge for us today.

There are some things we have to accept are simply too profound for our brains to even comprehend.

I don't care what belief you subscribe to, all of us are going to have to come to one conclusion: At some point, "Something" had to come from "Nothing". Everything we know had a start. But all of that had to trace back to nothing. Time, God, Big Bang, physical laws etc. The sooner we embrace that, the sooner we can find answers we are able to fully able to comprehend.

I've never heard of this and it doesn't make much sense to me. Even if the universe did keep expanding, I'd imagine we would always still see stars in the sky because there are some stars so far away the light hasn't traveled far enough for us to see them yet. It could take millions of years before the light from stars very far away eventually reaches us. Many of the stars we currently see might not even be there anymore, but the light is just reaching us now.

Stars have a finite amount of fuel, so, yes, stars do burn out and all the current stars will eventually die. I don't see why new stars wouldn't continue to be born the way they currently are, though. Stars die and new stars are born and this theory doesn't explain why that woud end.

You are correct in a sense, however there is also a finite amount of matter in the universe from which new stars can be created. Over the course of trilliions of years, all the matter will become locked up in the super massive black holes at the center of galaxies as well as stellar mass black holes and the cooling husks of neutron stars and white dwarfs so that eventually (trillions of years in the future) there will simply not be enough matter of a sufficient desnity to collapse and form new stars.

I don't think the Big Bang happened. Without heat and time (of which there were neither), you can't have an explosion, so how could there have been a Big Bang?

Well, that's getting into quantum physics and quantum mechanics and relatively and all of that super advanced physics stuff. I barely got through high school physics so I couldn't possibly begin to understand those concepts.

That is something I do not accept at all. It's a mindset designed to remove knowledge from the grasp of the everyman and allow other to decide things for him.

As for the the Big Bang, I'm a fan of the idea that all mass was concentrated until external pressures of the vacume of nothingness exceded the pull that kept that mass together up to that point. And the inertia to fill a vacume will continue up untill the universal forces start a retraction back into a singular mass by becoming the superior force agian.

I existed before the big bang, but it was really more of a finger snap because I was bored and wanted to create something. Sorry for the confusion.

Either I finally decided to out myself as a deity or humor.

Re: What existed before the Big Bang?

But you bumped an 8 month old thread to do it and didn't add anything constructive to what had been a serious conversation. If you had made that comment while the thread was still active then fine, but 8 months after it ended just seems pointless.

Well excuse me for finding this thread using the search button, I didn't look at the dates.

Well...to be fair...in your universe, there is no time.

...oh...and you existed before the Big Bang?.....is that what your pop called it?
