Whose Bang?
On looking upon the stars and the ever expansion of the universe - man has estimated that it is growing at tremendous rates. Thus, moving backward in time, it has been theorized that the universe, as a whole, sprung from one, singular point. In a simplistic nutshell, that is the theory of the Big Bang.
The idea is at best an extrapolation and best guess from the science we have available, but it is hailed as a trustworthy theory. There has been a lot of research done on the subject of the beginning of the universe through the study of galaxies, spacial radiation and the like.
Now planck time is a measurement scientists use to talk about the initial beginning. Planck time is approximately 10 to the -43 power in seconds. That is a decimal place followed by over 40 zeros followed by a one. That is a very, very small number. Extrapolating the idea that the universe was compressed all into one singular point, and judging from the speed at which the universe is expanding, at one planck (one 10^-43 seconds after the big bang), the temperature of the universe would have been ten trillion, trillion times hotter than the deep interior of the sun (10^32 Kelvin).
This astronomical extrapolation comes from the idea that the universe was compacted into a space smaller than the size of an atom. The pressure and temperature and sheer density of that "cosmic egg", as they call it, would be astronomical, thus the amazing numbers above. But that is not the only impressive thing about the Big Bang. Due to what must have been quite the violent explosion at the big bang, the size of the universe would have instantly expanded at an astronomical rate. The rate that modern science has placed it at is astonishing. About one trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the big bang, the size of the universe increased by a greater percentage than it has in the 15 billion years or so since (age estimate).
Here now is what I find the most incredible. Einstein's theory of relativity and Hubble where the two people who most influenced the realization of the Big Bang. Einstein's theory also demands a beginning of time. That is the point of the big bang and it can easily be ascertained that time before the big bang is quite impossible to postulate (though that does not stop many from speculating). With the big bang sitting in front of many a scientist, they still hold firm to naturalism and naturalism alone. Many have become adamant that all the material of the universe existed inside this physical "cosmic egg" that was smaller than the size of an atom (but still a physical existence). Then the universe shattering explosion of the big bang occurred. First off, 3rd rate observation extrapolations is all we have to go on, but to another extent they ignore the impetus of the big bang.
If physics did not work normally on the "cosmic egg", then there should be evidences of it in our universe today, for nothing is here that was not in the egg shell idea of theirs. Naturalism and naturalism alone says nothing is made or destroyed, only changed. So if that is the case, what was the impetus of the explosion? It's an ad hoc question that cannot be answered, but it does point out a blind spot. If an object in motion remains in motion and an object at rest remains at rest then the big bang has not answered any of our metaphysical questions at all.
What I find humorous is that the recent theory that has the science world all abuzz is the string theory. Smaller than an atom, a proton, neutron or electron, is the string - and a string is a one-dimensional unit that, depending upon it's vibrations, makes up the proton, neutron or electron (or other subatomic particles). A string that vibrates. Maybe that's why sound vibrates through the air like it does...
It is quite a picture when these two scientific theories are lined up. God spoke, and the world lept into existence. What a coincidence.
