What Is The Big Bang
...from the Aboriginal people's Dreaming to Christian's belief of the five day creation. However it has only relatively recently that technology has enabled us to form scientifically proven ideas such as the big bang theory. The big bang theory's popularity is due to the overwhelming amount of evidence, such as the Hubble's discovery of the redshift suggesting the distancing of galaxies. Furthermore the presence of cosmic background radiation and the greater understanding of nuclear physics also signifies the big bang theory could be true.
The Big Bang cosmological model states that approximately about 13 billion years ago, the universe rapidly emerged into existence, in an event now called the Big Bang. Prior to the Big Bang, nothing is known of what, where and how it existed, if any thing existed at all. The universe was a collection of the matter and radiation both indistinguishable in dense plasma state billions of billions degrees Celsius all condensed into an area smaller then a size of an atom. The Big Bang states that between 10-33 and 10-32 seconds after the Big Bang, driven apart by an antigravity like antimatter, the universe expanded faster then the speed of light, possibly increasing from being the size of an atom to the size of a galaxy in a fraction of a second. Still less then a thousandth of a second later it had cooled enough for particles such as quarks, neutrons and protons to form, as well as the anti particles arising in constant annihilation of matter, where only one in a billion quarks were spared. Matter consisting of electron and proton bonds were destroyed by the electromagnetic force carried by photon, resulting in the universe resembling a foggy, murky gas. It wasn’t until the universe cooled and universe expanded, that the photons had lost enough energy to allow electrons and protons to bond and create atoms. These first primitive...
