The Beginning!

The Big Bang,
As most scientists view it as, the beginning of the universe is called the "Big Bang", they say our universe is approximatly 13 billion years old. At first the universe was a singularity in an empty space, and at some point in time an explosion happened and from that sigularity came an infinite place called the universe where time and space was created.
We have evidence and can trace back the big bang to the 10^-43 of the first second after it happened, so almsot to its starting point but not quite, we know that at first the universe was infinitly hot, and the super force is created which consists of the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetic, and gravity, this was called inflation and the universe was increasing at a rate greater than the speed of light. Then at 10^-32 of the first second after it happened the universe cooled down to 10^27 degrees celcius (thats really hot) and the universe at the point was known as the Quark soup because it was just electrons and other particles. Then at 10^-6 of the first second the universe dramaticly cooled to 10^13 degrees celcius, at that point clumps of protons and netrons started to form. After 3 minutes the universe has now cooled to 10^8 degrees celcius, but unforutanlty it was still too hot to form atoms or let light penetrate. The we jump to 300,000 years after it happened and it has finally cooled down to 10,000 degrees celcius, and finally hydrogen and helium atoms start to form ( our first elements) and light can shine (so the universe was pitch black for the first 300,00 years). After 1 billion years gravity (every object has gravity, even us) starts to for helium and hydrogen clouds that evetually will become galaxies and stars. The after 12 billion years its cools to -270 degrees celcius and planets and heavy elements start to form.

  1. I'm still not in positive agreement with the Big Bang Theory... But I do hope to see the Theory of Evolution up here sometime soon... Then maybe I'll have a better argument for you.

  2. If this is true, then at one point we were like a ball of liquid metal floating in space. When you think about, thats pretty awesome. It's very interesting that know there is life on Earth and that we are able to survive. Knowing what's happened billions of years ago.

  3. I think this theory is really hard to understand but there is a lot of evidence to back it up. I hope this doesn't repeat anytime soon because like people say "this might happen in a billion of years or it can happen in two weeks."
