Rubus Leucodermis Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 That's a physical theory on what caused the universe to expand. It doesn't explain what caused it or how the matter originally came into existence. Actually the Big Bang is the expansion itself. What existed before it, is not known. Probably a singularity, but there is actually some debate on that; it may not have been quite so dense. 1 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

Blizzard777 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 My buddy went on as a guest with Lars once and got totally destroyed. It was so bad his mom called in the next day and disowned him. It was funny because he was a huge Lars fan before that happened. It is always good to bring up for a good laugh at his expense. Lars is quite the debater and loves it! He’s great at trapping the most confident and getting them turned around and lost but when things go the other way can hit the disconnect button...lolIf music is not my gig for the day traveling to PDX I tune in on 101.1 ( Vancamp show is the best though...those guys rock!).

Phil Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 The whole "before" part renders the question probably meaningless, since a singularity comprising the entire mass (and mass that is now energy) of the universe would so dense and massive that time as we know it would not exist.Time is most likely a reflection of entropy. It’s not some flowing, aetheric fabric that we exist within. And yes it would exist mathematically (albeit immeasurably as an infinite series of potentials) so long as the singularly exists. If it even was a singularity? I’m not sure that’s settled.

Probably a singularity, but there is actually some debate on that; it may not have been quite so dense.The expansion is ongoing. The big bang theorizes how it started.
