As Brian pointed out, if time started with our universe, then it makes no sense to ask what happened before that occurrence, and if it doesn’t make sense to ask what happened before that occurrence, it also doesn’t make any sense to ask how it occurred. That’s because the “how” question always implies a temporal element and apparently there was no time before the big bang.
IMO, nothing happened before the so-called, "Big Bang." The fabric of space and time came into existence from a black hole, and we're living within it.
That’s hilarious so we are not allowed to go beyond our understanding. Ok Einstein don’t ask any questions because we now have to stop thinking. Time is just a veneer. It can be manipulated so it’s like a cover. You can peer around it’s sides, through it and beneath it. What ever created it, or what came before, exist outside of time, and therefore is not governed by it. Now is not the time to stop thinking
One of the amazing things to me is that we’re not some sort of separate thing from the universe. We’re not an outside thing observing the universe around us. We are part of it all. So, especially the universe ponders itself. We ponder the universe and we are a little section of it. The universe is something that thinks about itself. I know that I’m not the first to think of it that way, but I never really hear anybody talk about it. Except by the woo people. But the woo people are correct, about that little part. The rest is, uh, woo.
Some people's head's, have been challenged if they have in fact, entered a race with cosmic inflation. Ego, is not bound by limits of general relativity, or the universe, in initial expansion.
I am no physicist by any stretch of the imagination, but I love watching this stuff. For all the physicists out there, I have a question. Prior to the Big Bang, were there any "laws of physics"? Were the processes driving the creation of matter controlled by a "physics" that was extant prior to the Big Bang? Are the laws of physics a product of the "matter" formed during the Big Bang (or simultaneously)? If there were no laws of physics prior to the Big Bang, what would this mean? Could the Big Bang have happened spontaneously from nothing as there were no "laws" that made this impossible? My brain goes into melt down just thinking about this stuff!
I am a physicist and so far as we can work out, the laws of physics as we know them came into being at the moment of the singularity. There were clearly physics involved but the rules as such are unknown.
As a physicist, can you please explain what possible physics explain cosmic inflation where all matter, energy and the expansion of space was faster than the speed of light. As I recall, in the early 80's the Cosmic Inflation Theory was proposed to fix problems with the Big Bang theory that cosmologists saw in the observable universe. It seems Einstein's Theory of Reality where nothing can travel faster than the speed of light was definitely not part of the physics immediately after the Big Bang. Cosmic inflation lasted for a trillionth of a second. Thanks.
@@MrPeterprincipleNothing with mass can travel THROUGH space faster than the speed of light. That's true. . BUT the 'big bang' was SPACE itself expanding and carrying the matter outwards with it. . . Imagine a ball of dough with raisins in it. . Raisns on the surface and within the dough cannot travel from place to place faster than the limit (let's call that limit 'the speed of light') BUT if the ball of dough expands as it's being cooked, all those raisins are moving away from one another in the dough. . . Each individual raisin is not moving *_through_* the dough, but is being carried along BY the dough as it expands (faster than the speed of light). Another analogy I've seen used is dots on the surface of a partly inflated balloon. Inflate the balloon quickly. . . All the dots rapidly move away from one another. NONE of the dots are moving across the surface of the balloon. . They remain fixed on the rubber exactly where they were, and yet without moving 'through space' (across the surface of the balloon) they are all moving away from one another at an impossible speed. the dots are moving outwards WITH space and not THROUGH space. Does that help explain?
I think a key point often overlooked is this video is only talking about 5% of the total matter and energy in the universe. Hardly worth a video, perhaps, once the smart folks figure out how dark energy / matter interact in all this which are by far the "drivers" of our universe. We just can't see it...
No physicist can answer this. There are speculations but we barely understand the laws of physics as they are. Gravity being a perfect example. So we have virtually no way of actually knowing what physics were like at the Big Bang.
“Imagine an infinite point containing all the matter and energy “ …… but how was all that matter and energy there? Where did it come from is my question not how it “expanded “ but how did this infinitely small point containing all matter and energy come to be , it couldn’t just have been how did this small point come into existence
My Model For The First Events in the Beginning of the Universe. (From left to right) 1. Singularity before the Big Bang was eternal photons. 2. Big Bang was a release of photon energy. 3. Photons through pair conversion, created space time; and both the fundamental particles and first atoms of hydrogen and helium. 4. The universe temperature continued to drop until the annihilation phase when all free electrons (e-) and positrons (e+) not in atoms, began to annihilate and turn into pure energy. 5. This massive universe wide conversion of mass to energy caused the inflation phase. This model suggests my answers to these physics questions. Q. What was the singularity that started the Big Bang? A. Eternal photons outside of space and time. Q. Where did the anti matter go? A. It went into the protons and neutrons. Protons have 2 positrons and one electron. Neutrons have 1 proton and one electron. Q. Why did inflation happen? A. When the temperature fell low enough, free electrons and positrons annihilated in a universal wide explosion of energy that created the inflation period.
That infinitesimal point you speak of was just a big huge star that collapse (big bang) creating a black hole . We are in one . In other words our “big bang “ was a white hole . And space , like in a black hole expand faster then the speed of light (light can’t escape a black hole) . The event horizon is exactly the same of a black hole and our beginning of our universe , we can’t go beyond (CMB) . Etc etc . The numbers of similarities is high
Well when you pull two quarks apart it creates two more. If accelerated expansion keeps going in our universe there may be a point where it expands fast enough to pull quarks apart. Then the expansion energy starts to pour into matter creation. Then gravity adds up and slows expansion down. Bang a bunch of matter and an extreme expansion rate.
There was nothing forever, and when theres nothing forever, something happens spontaneously in a blip, before it goes back to nothing forever. Basically, forever infinite...anything can happen and will.
Here is a thought about the big bang and big crunch theory. If the universe is expanding at the speed of light due to dark matter or dark energy, and everything will eventually cool down to the point of non-existence, then how will gravity call back the non-existent matter to form a big crunch? Seems to me that the big bang/big crunch theory won't work and we are living in a "one of" universe with no repeats.
It gets thumbs up from confirmation-bias numpties who don't really know what they're looking at and think of physicists as guessing and unknowing. The JWST observations have not challenged 'all of this' at all. All it suggests is that early galaxies might have formed more rapidly than we thought. Some people then naturally think we have it all wrong, there was no big bang, Einstein and Newton are wrong etc etc ad nauseam. Drivel. More likely that the early universe was super-dense and hot (we know that) with intense dark matter action allowing first-gen galaxies to accrete stars extremely rapidly.
NO. Einstein believed that the Universe is infinite (and therefore also infinitely old). That must mean he didn't believe in BigBang either. I certainly don't either.
Neither a finite universe or an infinite one make any sense to the human brain or mind. Ultimately it matters not what any of us believe, it will be revealed through mathematics to be one or the other, regardless of our feelings or beliefs.
@@khosta6690If it's infinite, then it couldn't have a beginning. You can't traverse infinity, meaning, you couldn't go from the beginning to where the universe is now, because that's infinite...you could literally never get from the beginning to now.
One interesting theory from the past, galaxies are a collection of island universes, each with a central gravitational force in an expanding object motion. Andromeda now has an estimated 1 trillion stars. The often asked puzzle Mass from nothing from a Big bang makes no sense.
With new discoverys, is it possible that there wasn't a big bang but a collision of two dimensions (one over full and one empty. Leaving one rapidly bleeding into the other? Giving the look of as if it was an explosion?
Where is this infinitely dense point if no space yet, and where did the energy come from? Scientist will avoid these questions by telling it's wrong to ask.
If everything has a beginning, like the universe, then so should God - No, God is outside of the universe and eternal, he always has been So it's possible for things to exist that have no beginning? - Yes, but only in my special situation. You can run it any way you like, you either get to the options that God started just like the Big Bang did, and there's a chain of god-creating-gods to at one point, a god must have appeared from nothing. OR, your idea of eternal existence outside of time is applicable, and that can apply to the pre-big-bang state of reality, without needing a diety involved. Which?
My theory is that there was a universe before ours. Like our universe it had black holes, which keep growing and growing, eating everything in its path. Until a time one black hole gets so big that it swallowed everything else in the universe. With that black hole having nothing else to feed it it eventually exploded in a "big bang" and a new universe began.
I think our universe formed much like a drop of water from a leaky faucet. Maybe a universe outside of ours, like you described, allowed for "larger" states of matter to exist. A massive amount of matter was possibly compressed by one of these black holes until a critical point was reached, which caused a white hole to burst into our universe, causing the inflation of our universe. Beyond that, I imagine dark matter might be what our universe is expanding into, and instead of rebounding our universe might just continue to disperse. My imagination is vast, lol. I think black holes are punctures in the fabric of our universe due to matter being too "heavy" for our universe to contain.
The baffling question is not only why the Big Bang happened but more importantly is how did the the infinitesimal point first appear and what or who made the infinitesimal point appear there and how did it get there...and what and how was that first infinitesimal point created. The Big Bang created the universe...but what created the Big Bang and how did the Big Bang first appear and who made it and how did they put there. If the Big Bang was creates from nothing...then how was the Big Bang created from nothings. And...whia is nothing and did nothing come to exist.
I don't buy much about cosmology theories about the Big Bang. For example, the idea that the singularity was an infinitesimally small point presumes the existence of space in order for "infinitesimally small" to make sense, but what if space didn't even exist yet? Or time. Why even use the word "explosion"? Clearly it was not one.
@@TedToal_TedToalThe narrator said "suddenly expanding in an explosive burst of creation". This is poorly worded (and misguided language) as it gives the wrong impression that there was an explosion. But cosmologists do not define the Big Bang as an explosion at all, only a rapid expansion of space and time. This video is not the best presentation for layman because it uses a lot of confusing language and even contradicts itself a few times. It conflates "theories" with "hypotheses" (which are two different things), it defines cosmic inflation as before the Big Bang, and then later says it came after the Big Bang. And it asserts that the "singularity" model is the primary model used by Big Bang cosmologists today, which is false. It does get a lot of things right, but the presentation is very poor, misleading, at times contradictory, and ultimately confusing. You are correct to be skeptical of the singularity theory because it has largely been debunked by the cosmological community. But your reasons for being skeptical of it makes no sense. If we assume that the universe did in fact originate as a singularity, then an "infinitesimally small point" would have no space because it is "infinitely" small. It would only represent a point of energy absent of all dimension (including space and time). So there would be no "space" in a singularity. Think of it as a negative dimension, existing nowhere in space, like the center of a black hole. The real problem with the singularity theory is that it doesn't allow for as many predictions as cosmic inflation prior to the Big Bang, which means it's superseded as the inferior theory. Under the cosmic inflation model, you never get to a singularity.
We have all grown up hearing that. But we now know it was always a bad choice of words. I beleive it arises because there was a sudden incredibly huge energy burst, acoompanied by an equally huge expanisonof spacetime.
CCC still makes me feel profoundly uneasy. All hypotheses regarding the beginning of the universe, or lack of a true beginning, do as well. We're just not equipped to deal with infinity.

Two thoughts...... First ...If time and space were created at the moment of the big bang, then events preceding it are unavailable for observation and are therefore irrelevant. Two...If, at the moment of the big bang, the universe was a singularity with infinite density, the gravitational forces would have been so immense that it would have been impossible for it to explode.
At one time, the entire universe occupied less space than a single atom. The universe was created by an invisible man in the sky. I don't know which story is more unbelievable.
Theology and cosmology are mutually exclusive; cosmology explains the how, the mechanics only. But it should be obvious that the universe was created by God - who is not a "man in the sky" but beyond our comprehension. God's mind is beyond our capacity to understand.
The Bible was never intended to be a scientific textbook. It tells us most importantly WHO created the universe and WHY it was created. It also tells us HOW it was created in a very non scientific way for us humans to understand. In my personal research, the sequence of creation events as represented in the Bible is not contrary to what science teaches.
What if it didn’t have everything in it but it was kinda like how 5 is in the middle but can be used to go down or up through the infinite numbers inside. So 5 could exist but it doesn’t have to be everything in one place at once.
The answer manifests itself in everything that happens. The universe forces everything to evolve in a spiral shape until the most outward parts are so spread they are forced back to the center that eventually will have stronger force/gravity. When the center is so tight it has no option but to evolve again, the process happens again, and again.
Something to consider is that running the clock backwards shows everything in the universe moving in the direction of convergence in a singularity, but it could be that all matter was confined to an unimaginable mass with finite and measurable dimensions, like an impossibly massive and bright and hot star but nevertheless with measurable properties. Think of it like if your house is on Main Street at the center of town (the singularity). Well, just because you show up at the grocery store at the edge of town (the modern era) one morning doesn't mean you left your house, maybe you had a sleepover at your friend's house who lives closer to the edge of town than you do. Just because you can point from the grocery store to the center of town doesn't mean all cars that arrive at the grocery store started at the center of town. Now, I'm not saying this is what happened, I'm just saying it's a possibility that is overlooked, and we can be asking the question what caused this mass of matter with some measurable size to exist. Maybe it's a rant of an older universe which collapsed. Maybe quantum field converged at the point and caused each other to generate particles in unfathomable quantities. Overall the big bang is a fascinating field to study.
You'll be thinking of "big bounce" cosmology. Then there is the idea that our universe isn't the only one, there's a "sea" of universes all bubbling away. Then there is the idea that we don't bounce, we just expand to oblivion, but the sea of expanded universes is prone to clumping into new big bangs.
The difference between scientists and creationists is we ask 'Why?', 'How?' and 'Where's the proof?' And we admit we are wrong when proven so. We don't start with answers and twist evidence to fit them, inserting magic in the gaps.
Where were the proof???science fiction...now we know the universe probably has no beginning...dark matter and dark energy ( ghost 👻) created by science to fix they theory ( some of them has no evidence)they are so arrogant and still taking about the 13.5 billion years (LIES)they don't know yet if our universe has a beginning 😊
“Everything we see now was compressed smaller than an atom” this is where they lost me, if we can believe that, we can believe anything that doesn’t make any sense
@@manoo422 you didn’t get my point, if you can believe everything can be compressed to less than an atom without any evidence, is not science, it is in the religion territory
But what about the new information regarding the potentially new galaxy discoveries made by the james-Webb telescope? Stating there are fully developed galaxies where there shouldn’t be? Or if he believe this may be something else? I’d love to know Brian cox’s take on this?
Everyone knows it was my Ex-wife’s rage that sparked the Big Bang. We even called our first date by that same name. At first she was very hot but become cold, and full of gas. Her gravity repulsed me.
My understanding is if I travelled to an area of super-high gravity (like a black hole), and came back to earth, thousands of years would have passed - effectively moving me forward in time. So, if an area of repulsive gravity existed, would that move me backward in time? Are time and gravity linked?
So there was nothing then a explosion happened, that doesn't make much sense but this does In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1-31 Genesis 2:1-3 John 1:1-34
From the time of big bang, the universe and life has gone through a large series of random "accidents" that are producing marvelous designs ... amazing! I wish I can see at least one of such accidents in my life.
It’s crazy how one human being cannot perceive all the information in the entire world, but that information spread out across every human being is the only way it can exist
Its just so insane our brains can not comprehend the absolute beginning of literal anything and everything. Its weird to try to think about on the "why?" And "but what about what caused that to cause that to cause that?" The smaller and further back you go
Another concept is that energy density as measured by the impedance of space is what governs what appears to be gravity. This new idea, The Z0 Code, allows for an open universe with no need for a singularity or big bang. This proposes that the development of the universe is ongoing. It explains what the the JWST sees and incorporates the observations of LIGO.
Thank you! Love this video! We all have to come to our own conclusions. I've been trying for years to figure out what mine is. I just can't figure out my own conclusion (and probably never will) what started everything, everywhere. In my mind, there has to be a beginning. Even if I believe the multi-verse theory, and our universe is a new bubble from other multi-verse bubbles, how did they start? It's mind boggling to even think about. I also am starting to think this has something to do with interaction and crossover between dimensions but that's pretty edgy stuff, even for me. Then there's the simulation theory which really makes me crazy so I can't even go there; thanks to whoever put that in my head, ugh! It all just makes me wish I went into this field, it is so very fascinating! I'm a huge fan of Brian......oh well, back to work.
How was the temperature of the singularity infinitely high? Singularity means when all matter is packed so densely that no particle is even able to move even so slightly. And temperature is the quantity which refers to how fast particles are moving in a thermodynamic system. So singularity should be at absolute zero temperature (-273.15 K). Please discuss 🙏🏻
With very high pressures, very minute vibration can translate to very high temperature. If back pressure is removed particle vibration would be big. Absolute zero is not like that. Eg: apply a high pressure with hand and rub it. Contrast that with low pressure rub. High pressure rub needs only a small rub to generate heat. Although work done will be same if time taken is constant to achieve a particular level of temperature.
it still doesnt make sense though. why was the universe contained for goodness knows how long ina n infinitely small singularity? whatg created that singularity?
I just listened to a theory that gravity is caused by the warping of time. If the big bang was caused by negative gravity would this be the warping of negative time? I.e. the end of one univers's deflation causes the inflation of the next universe with the warping of negative time?
It's easy .........God said "Let there be light and there was light". All of the energy concentrated in a singularity. Atheists say all that energy came from nothing. Or dodge the question by postulating an earlier universe or multiverse. A vacuum pulses with quantum fields - but those fields only exist because the vacuum is surrounded by matter.
That's not a scientific or rational explanation until a god can be demonstrated. Things that don't exist cannot serve as an explanation for things that do exist. Once you present evidence for a god, then we can consider God as a potential cause for the universe. Right now, you have what's called a begging the question fallacy. You're attempting to use your conclusion (the thing that you're trying to prove) in your premise in order to lead back to your conclusion. That's circular reasoning. Your claim also falsely represents what "atheists say". The idea that something came from nothing has nothing to do with atheism. Atheism just means not believing a god exists. The question of why the universe exists is a separate question and different atheists are free to have different ideas about that. The only people who have as part of their doctrine that the universe came from nothing are THEISTS! Specifically, Christians because that's what the Bible implies in both Genesis 1:1 and Hebrews 11:3. Scholars take these passages to mean that God created the universe was created Ex Nihilo (from nothing). So it is in fact Christians who says that everything came from nothing, not atheists. My position as an atheist is that there never was "nothing", and there has always been "something", because that's what the evidence shows.
@@captainbryce1 You cannot prove the existence of God. If you could free will would go out the window. You have to sift the evidence and consider what is the most likely explanation. The laws of science say nothing can produce something. According to this nothing should ever have happened ever - just nothingness for eternity. It's just illogical to suppose nothingness could produce countless galaxies....all that matter and energy.
Tom's Theorem: When a black hole ingests everything in it's path, including light, that light and matter isn't "eliminated" from the universe, nor is it a portal to another universe. Black holes create dark matter through this combined "devouring" of light and matter, and spew it out of their centers, fueling the expansion of the universe. A black hole is never "dormant", it doesn't "burp out" energy when it's full, and it's working way harder to produce and emit dark matter than it does to shoot gamma rays. When it does emit gamma rays, it's actually a drop in activity from "dark matter production", at the same time giving us something we can see and analyze in the form of light beams.
The hows and whys of the Universe and it's existence is probably a mystery that we'll probably never know despite of all of the cute little equations that try and fail to do so. But one thing is clear even though they won't admit it. Repulsive gravity = explosion. Inflation = explosion. Unimaginable forces, temperatures and expansion from an unimaginably small and dense object = explosion.

Hardly worth a video, perhaps, once the smart folks figure out how dark energy / matter interact in all this which are by far the "drivers" of our universe. We just can't see it...
No physicist can answer this. There are speculations but we barely understand the laws of physics as they are. Gravity being a perfect example. So we have virtually no way of actually knowing what physics were like at the Big Bang.
“Imagine an infinite point containing all the matter and energy “ …… but how was all that matter and energy there? Where did it come from is my question not how it “expanded “ but how did this infinitely small point containing all matter and energy come to be , it couldn’t just have been how did this small point come into existence
As a black hole from "another" universe? (another region outside our singularity) Speculating, obviously.
The beauty about Science is, it's not afraid to say - we don't know (yet).
This was very well written, and executed. Thank you.

My Model For The First Events in the Beginning of the Universe.
(From left to right)
1. Singularity before the Big Bang was eternal photons.
2. Big Bang was a release of photon energy.
3. Photons through pair conversion, created space time; and both the fundamental particles and first atoms of hydrogen and helium.
4. The universe temperature continued to drop until the annihilation phase when all free electrons (e-) and positrons (e+) not in atoms, began to annihilate and turn into pure energy.
5. This massive universe wide conversion of mass to energy caused the inflation phase.
This model suggests my answers to these physics questions.
Q. What was the singularity that started the Big Bang?
A. Eternal photons outside of space and time.
Q. Where did the anti matter go?
A. It went into the protons and neutrons. Protons have 2 positrons and one electron. Neutrons have 1 proton and one electron.
Q. Why did inflation happen?
A. When the temperature fell low enough, free electrons and positrons annihilated in a universal wide explosion of energy that created the inflation period.
Had a meal of baked beans & fosters beer some time ago ; that was my big bang ...
Thought provoking video & thanks for that .
I love all the discussion and hypothesis! I learn something reading all these everytime.
What created the infinitesimal point that held all the matter in the universe? 🤯
Maybe blackholes over many billions of years
Most likely a big crunch...
And, where is that point?
@@chrissmith6675 The center of the universe.
That infinitesimal point you speak of was just a big huge star that collapse (big bang) creating a black hole .
We are in one .
In other words our “big bang “ was a white hole .
And space , like in a black hole expand faster then the speed of light (light can’t escape a black hole) .
The event horizon is exactly the same of a black hole and our beginning of our universe , we can’t go beyond (CMB) .
Etc etc .
The numbers of similarities is high
Awareness is known by awareness alone; is the sole irreducible axiom of reality. To put forth a syllable to the contrary is but to concede.
Well when you pull two quarks apart it creates two more. If accelerated expansion keeps going in our universe there may be a point where it expands fast enough to pull quarks apart. Then the expansion energy starts to pour into matter creation. Then gravity adds up and slows expansion down. Bang a bunch of matter and an extreme expansion rate.
I have thought that very thought. That will be how a universe will restart from a big rip.
Or perhaps God just farted and our universe is made up of the remaining fart matter. The repulsive gravity was literally repulsive.
@@winkipinky wonder if we could expect a log to be following soon then...
Thanks! I did not know about the creation of two more quarks after a pair is pulled apart.
Don't worry. Be happy.😊
There was nothing forever, and when theres nothing forever, something happens spontaneously in a blip, before it goes back to nothing forever.
Basically, forever infinite...anything can happen and will.
Here is a thought about the big bang and big crunch theory. If the universe is expanding at the speed of light due to dark matter or dark energy, and everything will eventually cool down to the point of non-existence, then how will gravity call back the non-existent matter to form a big crunch? Seems to me that the big bang/big crunch theory won't work and we are living in a "one of" universe with no repeats.
Interesting that the James Webb telescope is now challenging all of this and is exposing how much guess work is going into it !!
They aren't happy about it, but history repeats its self. Alot of advancements missed because of peoples egos.
no... it isn't. What it is doing is challenging our assumptions of the young universe.
lol no it’s not. How tf does this comment have 20 thumbs up.
It gets thumbs up from confirmation-bias numpties who don't really know what they're looking at and think of physicists as guessing and unknowing. The JWST observations have not challenged 'all of this' at all. All it suggests is that early galaxies might have formed more rapidly than we thought. Some people then naturally think we have it all wrong, there was no big bang, Einstein and Newton are wrong etc etc ad nauseam. Drivel. More likely that the early universe was super-dense and hot (we know that) with intense dark matter action allowing first-gen galaxies to accrete stars extremely rapidly.
I had baked beans last night!
NO. Einstein believed that the Universe is infinite (and therefore also infinitely old). That must mean he didn't believe in BigBang either. I certainly don't either.
Neither a finite universe or an infinite one make any sense to the human brain or mind. Ultimately it matters not what any of us believe, it will be revealed through mathematics to be one or the other, regardless of our feelings or beliefs.
Well, that’s that sorted!
I don’t think saying the universe is infinite means it didn’t start somewhere buddy
@@khosta6690If it's infinite, then it couldn't have a beginning. You can't traverse infinity, meaning, you couldn't go from the beginning to where the universe is now, because that's infinite...you could literally never get from the beginning to now.
One interesting theory from the past, galaxies are a collection of island universes, each with a central gravitational force in an expanding object motion. Andromeda now has an estimated 1 trillion stars. The often asked puzzle Mass from nothing from a Big bang makes no sense.
With new discoverys, is it possible that there wasn't a big bang but a collision of two dimensions (one over full and one empty. Leaving one rapidly bleeding into the other? Giving the look of as if it was an explosion?
You guess is as good as anyone's because the scientists don't know either.
Where is this infinitely dense point if no space yet, and where did the energy come from? Scientist will avoid these questions by telling it's wrong to ask.
I've noticed that as well
Never mind the big bang, how did the singularity - every thing , get there in the first place? Are there any more of these hanging about?
Imagine that, the title was pure clickbait.
Penrose has an hypothesis for this in that, the big bang is the result of the collapse of a previous universe
@@dwinexboy77I like this idea!
@dwinexboy77 but how did that universe come to be?
you will go in infinit regress , so the answer is god
"What caused the Big Bang?" Literally no one knows, and you should be skeptical of and careful around anyone who claims to know.
In another universe you wrote this comment
no…the same nebula from two different times
What caused the big bang?
One word: God
If everything has a beginning, like the universe, then so should God
- No, God is outside of the universe and eternal, he always has been
So it's possible for things to exist that have no beginning?
- Yes, but only in my special situation.
You can run it any way you like, you either get to the options that God started just like the Big Bang did, and there's a chain of god-creating-gods to at one point, a god must have appeared from nothing.
OR, your idea of eternal existence outside of time is applicable, and that can apply to the pre-big-bang state of reality, without needing a diety involved.
Which?
What caused the big bang. GOD DID!!!
no one knows how it all started.. no one will ever know how it all started
My theory is that there was a universe before ours.
Like our universe it had black holes, which keep growing and growing, eating everything in its path. Until a time one black hole gets so big that it swallowed everything else in the universe.
With that black hole having nothing else to feed it it eventually exploded in a "big bang" and a new universe began.
hmm do you think that onces we die we could come back at some point with a diffrent life then the one we have today ?
I like the way you think. I've always thought something similar.
I think our universe formed much like a drop of water from a leaky faucet. Maybe a universe outside of ours, like you described, allowed for "larger" states of matter to exist. A massive amount of matter was possibly compressed by one of these black holes until a critical point was reached, which caused a white hole to burst into our universe, causing the inflation of our universe. Beyond that, I imagine dark matter might be what our universe is expanding into, and instead of rebounding our universe might just continue to disperse. My imagination is vast, lol. I think black holes are punctures in the fabric of our universe due to matter being too "heavy" for our universe to contain.
@@tanzilmuslehudd9403 I don't know about that, I suppose maybe but if so our memory of a previous life gets erased at death.
Two of three responses want to be included in the next universe... you wanna tell them, or should/could I?
The baffling question is not only why the Big Bang happened but more importantly is how did the the infinitesimal point first appear and what or who made the infinitesimal point appear there and how did it get there...and what and how was that first infinitesimal point created. The Big Bang created the universe...but what created the Big Bang and how did the Big Bang first appear and who made it and how did they put there. If the Big Bang was creates from nothing...then how was the Big Bang created from nothings. And...whia is nothing and did nothing come to exist.
I don't buy much about cosmology theories about the Big Bang. For example, the idea that the singularity was an infinitesimally small point presumes the existence of space in order for "infinitesimally small" to make sense, but what if space didn't even exist yet? Or time.
Why even use the word "explosion"? Clearly it was not one.
Who in the video used the word explosion...?
@@manoo422 it was used.
@@TedToal_TedToal Not to describe the Big Bang, idiot.
@@TedToal_TedToalThe narrator said "suddenly expanding in an explosive burst of creation". This is poorly worded (and misguided language) as it gives the wrong impression that there was an explosion. But cosmologists do not define the Big Bang as an explosion at all, only a rapid expansion of space and time.
This video is not the best presentation for layman because it uses a lot of confusing language and even contradicts itself a few times. It conflates "theories" with "hypotheses" (which are two different things), it defines cosmic inflation as before the Big Bang, and then later says it came after the Big Bang. And it asserts that the "singularity" model is the primary model used by Big Bang cosmologists today, which is false.
It does get a lot of things right, but the presentation is very poor, misleading, at times contradictory, and ultimately confusing. You are correct to be skeptical of the singularity theory because it has largely been debunked by the cosmological community. But your reasons for being skeptical of it makes no sense. If we assume that the universe did in fact originate as a singularity, then an "infinitesimally small point" would have no space because it is "infinitely" small. It would only represent a point of energy absent of all dimension (including space and time). So there would be no "space" in a singularity. Think of it as a negative dimension, existing nowhere in space, like the center of a black hole.
The real problem with the singularity theory is that it doesn't allow for as many predictions as cosmic inflation prior to the Big Bang, which means it's superseded as the inferior theory. Under the cosmic inflation model, you never get to a singularity.
We have all grown up hearing that. But we now know it was always a bad choice of words. I beleive it arises because there was a sudden incredibly huge energy burst, acoompanied by an equally huge expanisonof spacetime.
Go to 6:40 to get the answer of “we don’t know”.
I bet the big bang was nearly as loud as dropping the toilet seat in the middle of the night
Prof Brian Cox is the most clever and most beautiful man.,.
Before and after big bang is heaven with the smarter people
Listening to this, makes me support Sir Penrose's CCC even more
CCC still makes me feel profoundly uneasy. All hypotheses regarding the beginning of the universe, or lack of a true beginning, do as well. We're just not equipped to deal with infinity.
infinity is a bitch@@dougthompson1598

Two thoughts......
First ...If time and space were created at the moment of the big bang, then events preceding it are unavailable for observation and are therefore irrelevant.
Two...If, at the moment of the big bang, the universe was a singularity with infinite density, the gravitational forces would have been so immense that it would have been impossible for it to explode.
At one time, the entire universe occupied less space than a single atom.
The universe was created by an invisible man in the sky.
I don't know which story is more unbelievable.
the latter because it allows for multiple different laws of reality based on a higher or lower dimensional playing field
Theology and cosmology are mutually exclusive; cosmology explains the how, the mechanics only. But it should be obvious that the universe was created by God - who is not a "man in the sky" but beyond our comprehension. God's mind is beyond our capacity to understand.
The Bible was never intended to be a scientific textbook. It tells us most importantly WHO created the universe and WHY it was created. It also tells us HOW it was created in a very non scientific way for us humans to understand. In my personal research, the sequence of creation events as represented in the Bible is not contrary to what science teaches.
This is so much more religion than science. The cult of Big Bang. Speculations.
What if it didn’t have everything in it but it was kinda like how 5 is in the middle but can be used to go down or up through the infinite numbers inside. So 5 could exist but it doesn’t have to be everything in one place at once.
Excellent lecture.
Who else has a fear of falling up to towards the sky? Gravity reversal... Scary 😳
Not me.
I fear the the sudden loss of hydrogen oxygen bonding energy.
Seek help, that's not normal 😅
The answer manifests itself in everything that happens.
The universe forces everything to evolve in a spiral shape until the most outward parts are so spread they are forced back to the center that eventually will have stronger force/gravity.
When the center is so tight it has no option but to evolve again, the process happens again, and again.
One Big Bang doesn’t make any sense.
Multiples do? Both seem absurd to me. This all had to have a beginning.....whether it's one or an infinite number.
@@redriver6541 what’s wrong with “we don’t know” ?
Something to consider is that running the clock backwards shows everything in the universe moving in the direction of convergence in a singularity, but it could be that all matter was confined to an unimaginable mass with finite and measurable dimensions, like an impossibly massive and bright and hot star but nevertheless with measurable properties. Think of it like if your house is on Main Street at the center of town (the singularity). Well, just because you show up at the grocery store at the edge of town (the modern era) one morning doesn't mean you left your house, maybe you had a sleepover at your friend's house who lives closer to the edge of town than you do. Just because you can point from the grocery store to the center of town doesn't mean all cars that arrive at the grocery store started at the center of town. Now, I'm not saying this is what happened, I'm just saying it's a possibility that is overlooked, and we can be asking the question what caused this mass of matter with some measurable size to exist. Maybe it's a rant of an older universe which collapsed. Maybe quantum field converged at the point and caused each other to generate particles in unfathomable quantities. Overall the big bang is a fascinating field to study.
To me, BigBang is like a Hearbeat, it was not the first nor the last, we had bigbangs before and we will have bigbangs in future
I have often thought that… and there could be many in many dimensions
You'll be thinking of "big bounce" cosmology.
Then there is the idea that our universe isn't the only one, there's a "sea" of universes all bubbling away.
Then there is the idea that we don't bounce, we just expand to oblivion, but the sea of expanded universes is prone to clumping into new big bangs.
You have not any proof. İt is just your imagination.
I did!
Wow, that's a load off my mind.
I feel so much better now!
The difference between scientists and creationists is we ask 'Why?', 'How?' and 'Where's the proof?' And we admit we are wrong when proven so. We don't start with answers and twist evidence to fit them, inserting magic in the gaps.
Where were the proof???science fiction...now we know the universe probably has no beginning...dark matter and dark energy ( ghost 👻) created by science to fix they theory ( some of them has no evidence)they are so arrogant and still taking about the 13.5 billion years (LIES)they don't know yet if our universe has a beginning 😊
What Caused The Big Bang? Imagination.
“Everything we see now was compressed smaller than an atom” this is where they lost me, if we can believe that, we can believe anything that doesn’t make any sense
Just because its beyond you, isnt relevant.
@@manoo422 you didn’t get my point, if you can believe everything can be compressed to less than an atom without any evidence, is not science, it is in the religion territory
Of course, we should all understand that this is just theory.

I’d love to know Brian cox’s take on this?
Everyone knows it was my
Ex-wife’s rage that sparked the Big Bang. We even called our first date by that same name. At first she was very hot but become cold, and full of gas. Her gravity repulsed me.
I love silly cartoons. 😌 Heck, science doesn’t even know what time is.
I agree with the concept ask How not Why makes a lot more sense than the religious creation myth
My understanding is if I travelled to an area of super-high gravity (like a black hole), and came back to earth, thousands of years would have passed - effectively moving me forward in time. So, if an area of repulsive gravity existed, would that move me backward in time? Are time and gravity linked?
So there was nothing then a explosion happened, that doesn't make much sense but this does In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

From the time of big bang, the universe and life has gone through a large series of random "accidents" that are producing marvelous designs ... amazing! I wish I can see at least one of such accidents in my life.
"Accidents"? Or God?
Almost like those accidents are by design, oh wait they are. Thanks God for putting this is motion so we can have a chance to live
Do Christians seriously come on here just to judge us?
Where did the energy come from to produce the expansion?
We are biologically incapable of comprehending the concept of "before the big bang", assuming it's not a meaningless concept entirely.
It’s crazy how one human being cannot perceive all the information in the entire world, but that information spread out across every human being is the only way it can exist
Its just so insane our brains can not comprehend the absolute beginning of literal anything and everything. Its weird to try to think about on the "why?" And "but what about what caused that to cause that to cause that?" The smaller and further back you go
Intelligent Design no doubt.
not necessarily
Another concept is that energy density as measured by the impedance of space is what governs what appears to be gravity. This new idea, The Z0 Code, allows for an open universe with no need for a singularity or big bang. This proposes that the development of the universe is ongoing. It explains what the the JWST sees and incorporates the observations of LIGO.

Thank you! Love this video! We all have to come to our own conclusions. I've been trying for years to figure out what mine is. I just can't figure out my own conclusion (and probably never will) what started everything, everywhere. In my mind, there has to be a beginning. Even if I believe the multi-verse theory, and our universe is a new bubble from other multi-verse bubbles, how did they start?
It's mind boggling to even think about. I also am starting to think this has something to do with interaction and crossover between dimensions but that's pretty edgy stuff, even for me. Then there's the simulation theory which really makes me crazy so I can't even go there; thanks to whoever put that in my head, ugh! It all just makes me wish I went into this field, it is so very fascinating! I'm a huge fan of Brian......oh well, back to work.
Better than asmr
How was the temperature of the singularity infinitely high? Singularity means when all matter is packed so densely that no particle is even able to move even so slightly. And temperature is the quantity which refers to how fast particles are moving in a thermodynamic system. So singularity should be at absolute zero temperature (-273.15 K).
Please discuss 🙏🏻
With very high pressures, very minute vibration can translate to very high temperature. If back pressure is removed particle vibration would be big. Absolute zero is not like that. Eg: apply a high pressure with hand and rub it. Contrast that with low pressure rub. High pressure rub needs only a small rub to generate heat. Although work done will be same if time taken is constant to achieve a particular level of temperature.
it still doesnt make sense though. why was the universe contained for goodness knows how long ina n infinitely small singularity? whatg created that singularity?
How did the Big Bang occur? God squeezed a pimple.
I just listened to a theory that gravity is caused by the warping of time. If the big bang was caused by negative gravity would this be the warping of negative time?
I.e. the end of one univers's deflation causes the inflation of the next universe with the warping of negative time?
Nothing balanced Ever came out of a "Random " Bang .
Not originally
?? Example please
It's easy .........God said "Let there be light and there was light". All of the energy concentrated in a singularity. Atheists say all that energy came from nothing. Or dodge the question by postulating an earlier universe or multiverse. A vacuum pulses with quantum fields - but those fields only exist because the vacuum is surrounded by matter.
That's not a scientific or rational explanation until a god can be demonstrated. Things that don't exist cannot serve as an explanation for things that do exist. Once you present evidence for a god, then we can consider God as a potential cause for the universe. Right now, you have what's called a begging the question fallacy. You're attempting to use your conclusion (the thing that you're trying to prove) in your premise in order to lead back to your conclusion. That's circular reasoning. Your claim also falsely represents what "atheists say". The idea that something came from nothing has nothing to do with atheism. Atheism just means not believing a god exists. The question of why the universe exists is a separate question and different atheists are free to have different ideas about that. The only people who have as part of their doctrine that the universe came from nothing are THEISTS! Specifically, Christians because that's what the Bible implies in both Genesis 1:1 and Hebrews 11:3. Scholars take these passages to mean that God created the universe was created Ex Nihilo (from nothing). So it is in fact Christians who says that everything came from nothing, not atheists. My position as an atheist is that there never was "nothing", and there has always been "something", because that's what the evidence shows.
@@captainbryce1 You cannot prove the existence of God. If you could free will would go out the window. You have to sift the evidence and consider what is the most likely explanation. The laws of science say nothing can produce something. According to this nothing should ever have happened ever - just nothingness for eternity. It's just illogical to suppose nothingness could produce countless galaxies....all that matter and energy.
YOU!

Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
How does the 'eventuation' of space fit into current understanding / discussion?
Tom's Theorem:
When a black hole ingests everything in it's path, including light, that light and matter isn't "eliminated" from the universe, nor is it a portal to another universe. Black holes create dark matter through this combined "devouring" of light and matter, and spew it out of their centers, fueling the expansion of the universe. A black hole is never "dormant", it doesn't "burp out" energy when it's full, and it's working way harder to produce and emit dark matter than it does to shoot gamma rays. When it does emit gamma rays, it's actually a drop in activity from "dark matter production", at the same time giving us something we can see and analyze in the form of light beams.
Bro it was when tippy tinkletrousers exploded a nucualr bomb in space 14.5 billion years ago
Can science prove God doesn't exist? I'm genuinely curious. I can't help but think there is a God that created all this.
As of now science can neither prove nor disprove God
It was two black holes bigger than any galaxies traveling near the speed of light.. it was a collision and not an explosion or bang. Science
Consciousness
13.75 billion years seems a very short time period when theres all eternity to go at. 2 branes collided? What made the branes?
The hows and whys of the Universe and it's existence is probably a mystery that we'll probably never know despite of all of the cute little equations that try and fail to do so. But one thing is clear even though they won't admit it. Repulsive gravity = explosion. Inflation = explosion. Unimaginable forces, temperatures and expansion from an unimaginably small and dense object = explosion.
