wtf happened before the big bang?

[andruejaysin]

The big bang is a lie.
The sun is just the right distance from the earth.
The earth has just the right temperature for life (with modest variations).
The planet has just the right gravity.
The earth holds a incredibly sufficient system to support plants and life and recycle energy.
The earth spins around the sun at just the right distance, a little bit farther and we'd freeze, a little bit closer and we'd burn. It also spins at just the right speed.

It should not surprise us to look around and see conditions which permit our existence. To the contrary, it would be very odd indeed should we see otherwise.

Once we figure out what dark energy is. These questions might be simple. We still dont know were or what 70% of our universe is.

[flanders]

honestly, there isn't an answer for this question other than there isn't a start, and isn't a finish...asking this question will only lead to more questions, and infinite cycle of inquiries. time has no start, and no end, it's infinite..

as for other life outside of the milky way, i believe there is but I'm surprised we haven't picked up any signs from all the antennas/sensors/whatever else we have monitoring space. a theory i share with my dad on this subject is that we are just a single cell that is smaller than infinitely many other universes, and larger than infinitely many universes.. reality is what you make it.. there is no way to prove that i'm real, that you're real, or anything is real so you have to kind of accept that, and after i've done a little bit of researching into this and conversations with various other people, i've come to realize that you have to make the best of what you have, and live life to the fullest

i was high one day and was thinking about the big bang and stuff.
and thought what happened before the big bang? scientist always talk about the big bang and everything that happened after that, but none talk about before the big bang?

It is impossible for us to know exactly what conditions were present before the Big Bang. Using theoretical physics and such, we have been able to trace back the history of the universe all the way up to 1 Plank time (5.4 x 1^-44 seconds) after the big bang, but before this point all physical laws and mathematics breaks down and chaos rules, thus conditions are impossible to determine.

Some scientists suggest the cyclic model of the universe in which each big bang eventually concludes with a big crunch and repeats itself, but recent estimations are showing that the universe will almost certainly continue to expand forever, given that the universe is flat and not open or closed.

History channel has a show called before the big bang, something about space pockets i think

[Acouwaila]

im sorry, but fuck explanation and fuck science. I mean yeah, its totally cool to study whats around you and what the fuck is goin on, but any one with common sense would understand that they aren't going to find any type of answer to explain everything. Everything works itself around in a circle. The answer is already here and we dont need no fuckin test tubes to see it. We've got what we've got....look at the world right now...look where it is....look whats out there....man we're all alone on this fucking planet. This planet with creatures of all colors and sizes and creatures that change colors to match the environment, and huge oceans and an endless sky and universe. Could your LIFE, really be YOURS....no, its the fucking universes so give it back...it made you, and you made it....sun doesnt give light to the moon assuming the moons gonna owe him one. lol linkin park...their old shit was good

[MadSativa]

their are big bangs happinin all the time as many as 2 a second or even more. so the answer is what happend before is right now happend before. also trillions of years after, depending on how you want to look at. It its important to keep in mind that the big bang was not one occurance or even a rare occurance, the univerise is not slowing down but, speeding up. And yes their is answers to everything but not one universal answer. Answers change with the equations and everything is an equation.

Either time did not exist, and it is the beginning, or


Before the big bang there was another universe everything was eventually pulled into that small ball by gravity, just so it could blow up and start over again.
Possible the Big Bang isn't THE big bang, but just A big bang. Maybe very far away there are more galaxies that are from another big bang, and not our big bang.


I think the second one is correct.

[Mr. Clandestine]

Maybe very far away there are more galaxies that are from another big bang, and not our big bang.

But the big bang theory isn't purported to have created galaxies, but instead the ENTIRE universe originated from it. From nothing came everything we know to exist. No recollection of how this matter happened to appear out of nowhere, just blind faith that it did.

Believing in this theory makes believing in intelligent design just as plausible. They're both deemed as impossibilities, only one generally backs up their assertation with historical religious scripture, where the other doesn't. Science as we know it cannot define either, and therefore cannot confirm the truth and validity of either. Beyond this, we start delving into the metaphysical... which is far beyond the realms of science.

[carinia]

Its gotta be cyclical, otherwise where did everything come from? Not that it being cyclical really answers that question...
Ive always found the idea of time travel intriguing, so that leads me to believe there are other dimensions that we cannot see or experience, and that these dimensions affect our 'laws' of life. Such as the constant speed of light. In certain ways we are begining to see that these laws can be modified and changed.

Basically I think there is sooo much stuff out there we dont know, that its going to take us a very, very long time to figure it out. Man, I love watching discovery channel wacked out.
