What+happened+before+the+Big+Bang?

Before we answer this question, we have to answer another. What is the Big Bang? The "Big Bang" is a theory of how the universe was created. According to the theory, the universe was once the size of a atom. This atom was called a "Singularity", it contained all of the elements that would make up the universe. No one is sure why this Singularity exploded, but when it did and it made a tremendous explosion! It send not just matter, but space and time in all directions. The heat of that explosion was so intense no one knows how hot it was; an explosion that created everything, including our sun (which is the hottest thing in our solar system) then it had to have been way hotter than our sun to create bits of stars everywhere. After the explosion, matter and energy began to form galaxies. This was around the time the universe was filled with radiation and cosmic energy. Gavitational pull helped form planets, Stars, even Galaxies! Think of a giant explosion and most likely you think of a mushroom cloud from a bomb. The explosion goes up curves down to make the mushroom look. Thin if the Big Bang as that. The explosion expanded, then created gravitational pull from the explosion. Today the explosion is still expanding in theory, the reason why I say "in theory" is because no one really knows for sure. People say that galaxies get's farther is evidence but you have to remember, our galaxy has a black whole in the middle therefore we are moving towards the middle. Not only that, but our galaxy is spinning as well so it would be really hard to tell. Also a theory is basically an educated guess. Now we know what the big bang is. So let’s try to answer our original question.

Source 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang Wikipedia is probably the most common place to get information about just about anything. It has practically everything you want to know or need to know about the Big Bang. The information however is for more, older understanding people. If you understand big words then it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I put this link up so you can get more information on The Big Bang, but don’t take the link to seriously. Remember, Wikipedia might be good but it can also be changed and manipulated by anyone, so be careful.

Source 2: http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm this is a somewhat better source, because like I stated before: "...Wikipedia might be good but it can also be changed and manipulated by anyone..." But this source can only be changed by the user who created the webpage and no one else. It surprisingly has good information about the Big Bang, such has how long ago it began, what explanation for the explosion and other stuff. The people who wrote it are named Chris LaRocco and Blair Rothstein. They are students from a university in Michigan. They created that webpage as part of something for their grade I guess. I know you can trust it since they were just taught it and have the Big Bang fresh in their minds. I highly recommend this link.

What Happened Before The Big Bang?

Usually when this question comes up people bring up religion, like "God created the universe, the heavens and the Earth!" but that’s not the case, I asked about the Big Bang, not about God. Viewing this question from a scientific point of view, it makes no sense at all. Why doesn’t it make sense? Well asking what happened before the Big Bang, it’s like asking what happened before everything existed. How do you answer that? How would anyone know? No one really knows or can even explain for that matter what happened before the universe was born. A new theory came up just recently, called the "Quantum bounce" theory. This theory suggests that "...our universe stems from the collapse of a previous universe…" which means that a universe that was here before us collapsed, and was recycled to make ours.

Big Bang --> Great Collapse --> Big Bang --> Great Collapse --> Big Bang etc... It basically is can go on forever.

This theory is basically saying that when this universe is destroyed by the "Great Collapse", it shall recycle itself to make another. This theory also suggests that our universe will be exactly the same each time its created, which I think that is highly unlikely but I’m not a scientist, now its time for a conclusion.

Source 1: http://www.superstringtheory.com/cosmo/cosmo4.html It doesn't have any information about the "Quantum Bounce" Theory but it does give good information about the aftermath of the Big Bang. It's a good source if you want to know what happened AFTER the Big Bang but not on before the Big Bang. If you still want to check it out then be my guest. I have no clue who wrote this, there is no name. All I'm going to say is if you don't want to trust it, then don't. I'm not garunteeing anything, I just think it has good information. Check it out if you want.

Source 2: http://www.physorg.com/news126955971.html This has information on the "Quantum Bounce" Theory and evidence that supports the theory. If you want to hear more about the "Quantum Bounce" theory then this is a great source. But I don’t know if this is the only source. You should search it on Google if this link doesn’t satisfy you. This article was written by a women named Lisa Zyga. She writes articles for this website called physorg.com, and she got her info from Nasa's scientists. I recommend it looking into it. Conclusion

In the end I've come up with two conclusions. The First One is: The "Quantum Bounce" theory just might be the answer; it makes sense since everything that we know recycles itself on this planet. Example: Water turns into vapor, Vapor goes to the clouds, the clouds turn into rain, the rain feeds the plants, the rain drops that don’t turn back into vapor, and the process begins again. Well there is more but I don't really want to get into that. It would only make sense that this theory would be correct because nothing ever goes to waste, nothing just disappear, It always goes somewhere. So I believe this theory is correct.

Second Conclusion: No one really knows what happened. There is probably no real way anybody can find out "What happened before the Big Bang?” It’s very possible that we will never know. A 99.9% chance we will never know, but there is still that 0.1% chance. So you never know, there is still a possibility we can find out…and who knows? We just might…
