One of my favorite shows on television
\nright now is The Big Bang Theory<\/i>. I think that feeling is shared by
\nmany. But despite my love for the show, I found it sad that the fifth
\nresult on google is the first to actually link to a site about the
\ntheory and not the show. Admittedly, I know only the basic idea of
\nthe theory myself so I hope to enlighten myself and others.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Humans are never satisfied with just
\naccepting things as they are. We question why we are here, how we
\nwere created and whether or not the universe has always existed. The
\nBig Bang theory is one explanation of the latter.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Once upon a time, there existed only a
\nsingularity. It is unknown what exactly a singularity is or where one comes from but it is believed it is an infinity dense zone,
\npossibly existing at the core of a black hole. The singularity that
\ngave us our universe, was infinitely small, hot and dense. At some point in time, about 13.7
\nbillion years ago, the singularity began to cool and expand. This
\nexpansion and cooling is still going on.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Many people question what evidence
\nexists to support this theory. One thing is that we are fairly certain
\nthat the universe had some beginning and we know that galaxies are
\nmoving away from each other. There is also a lot of light elements in
\nthe universe and the cosmic microwave background is made up of the remnants
\nof heat from the singularity. Also, it’s possible to ignore that the temperature and distribution of
\ngalaxies is uniform across the universe.<\/p>\n

The term Big Bang is a little
\ndeceptive. There was no actual explosion that occurred; it was actually an expansion. It is also incorrect
\nto envision the singularity as some fiery ball of matter floating in
\nspace. An extended version of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity
\nshowed that there once existed neither time nor space. Therefore, the singulaity would have had to exist outside of space if it in fact it was the dense version of the universe. The
\nexplanation of where, when and how the singularity came to be is
\nstill unknown but I’m sure someone is working on an explanation…<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Like most theories, it has it’s
\nchallengers and there are other theories that explain the findings
\nabout the universe. That being said, it is now widely accepted in the
\nscientific community. Of course it leaves questions about where God comes into play with this theory. That is a much more complex question than this blog could possibly address…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
