So the universe was created then? And not random?

Amazing that we can see some much into out own universe don't know how to tell tomorrows weather in advance, nor do we know much about our oceans!

If the Big Bang happens, and there's nobody around to hear it, did it make a soun?

@batboylive963 5 жыл бұрын

If you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around do you ever really crash or even make a sound

I've got a question........... if the universe was a tiny dense ball and it expanded, except the universe if everything, how did it have space to expand?????????????

@ShadeOnTheUtube 10 жыл бұрын

Isn't it obvious? The universe is space, so when the universe expanded so did it's space to expand in. Much like how you'd inflate a balloon, originally there is only a few square-centimeters of space inside the balloon, but depending on the elasticity and your patience, you can make the balloon pretty damn big. And if the balloon is the total amount of space it itself can inhabit, the total inhabitable space inflates equal to the balloon's expansion.

Big bang sounded no more than 120dB? Can't wrap my head around that. Can somebody explain?

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state then nearly 14 million years ago expansion started wait, the earth began to cool the autotrophs began to drool, neanderthals developed tools we built a wall, we built the pyramids, math science history unraveling the mystery that all started with a big bang, BANG!

Was the big bang really 120 Decibels if the was no space outside of the singularity to "hear" it?

@ry4nmaster 11 жыл бұрын

so this core.. how small was it? a size of an apple? and if the universe is created by the big bang, before the big bang happened, i'm guessing that there's nothing surrounding it? i mean the WHOLE universe is just a small dot and everything surrounding it is just darkness and nothingness?

I don't believe in nothing so likewise I don't believe in the big bang. It just is not a logical conclusion more or less an observation that things in the universe are drifting. What are they drifting into and what surrounded this so called big bang. I'm confident that the universe has always existed and is also infinite. It just makes more sense to me.

@KoffingOnion 11 жыл бұрын

I think the outside of the universe is a vacuum. The universe gets bigger because it's pulling itself apart

wait... how do you measure sound in space??

@furkanalperen3872 10 жыл бұрын

Sound travels at the same speed everywhere. As far as i know But you cant actually hear anything because bo air to carry sound

@Windy2468 10 жыл бұрын

I thought sound couldn't at all travel unless it's through a medium

Isn't this incorrect? I thought it was an infinite space packed infinitely tight, not a finite space packed in a singularity.

@ry4nmaster 11 жыл бұрын

isn't darkness is "nothingness", well i'm not saying if it's dark there's nothing in it, it's just dark = no light, right? so, i'm guessing it will be dark and there will be nothing

I don’t think ‘there was nothing, and then everything came flying out of it’ is really enough of an explanation :D

@iElite6809 10 жыл бұрын

This is incorrect. It wasn't a singularity, but everything was too close together to describe with our laws of physics.

Listen everyone. You have to repent of your sins and believe in the great gospel of JESUS CHRIST THE LIVING GOD. Do not be wise in your own eyes, the BIBLE SAYS. Fear the LORD, depart from evil, it will be healing to your flesh and strength to your bones. The Big Bang is not real, GOD created the Heavens and the Earth. Science makes mistakes, but GOD doesn’t, and he created you. Save your life by giving it to CHRIST TODAY. In JESUS NAME. AMEN.
