Was the Big Bang Infinite?

Space and time were created in the Big Bang. Although space may have been concentrated into a single point at the Big Bang, it is equally possible that space was infinite at the Big Bang. In both scenarios the space was completely filled with matter which began to expand.

What did the Big Bang singularity contain?

The initial singularity is a singularity predicted by some models of the Big Bang theory to have existed before the Big Bang and thought to have contained all the energy and spacetime of the Universe.

Where did the original singularity come from?

The singularity comes from winding the Cosmic clock backwards to the point of the Big Bang. And thus all the mass/energy of the universe can be accounted for in a single atom size point which provides the power for the “bang” when it explodes.

What existed before singularity?

The universal origin story known as the Big Bang postulates that, 13.7 billion years ago, our universe emerged from a singularity — a point of infinite density and gravity — and that before this event, space and time did not exist (which means the Big Bang took place at no place and no time).

Can we resolve the Big Bang singularity by changing the universe?

Ali and coauthor Saurya Das at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, have shown in a paper published in Physics Letters B that the Big Bang singularity can be resolved by their new model in which the universe has no beginning and no end.

Do singularities go on forever?

Therefore extrapolating points in our current universe far back in the past, they no longer meet in a Big Bang singularity. That means that they go on forever.

Does the Big Bang theory contradict itself?

However, the theory has a serious physical and mathematical problem known as Big Bang Singularity that predicts that our universe began from an infinitely dense point at which the laws of physics break down. This means the theory contains its own contradiction.

Is there any scientific evidence for a singularity?

But the video does point out that there are multiple lines of evidence for an initial singularity, “big bang” or creation event:\\.
