there are powerful forces at work in the
universe
from manmade explosions
to mother nature’s devastating
destruction – epic blasts of
unbelievable cosmic power
all of them reveal a universe of lurking
pounds like exploding stars apocalyptic
asteroid impacts and invisible Jets of
radiation streaming across the universe
the cosmos is a place of ever-present
danger
but what’s amazing is that in the entire
universe nothing is more powerful than
the colossal explosion that created it
all the Big Bang
the Big Bang is an amazingly difficult
thing to wrap your brain around which
isn’t surprising when you’re trying to
think about the universe being smaller
than the head of a pin
actually smaller than an atom about as
small as the proton at the center of an
atom whatever the universe was at the
very beginning some 13.7 billion years
ago we think it was tiny an
infinitesimal nugget of space and then
something happened
triggering the most colossal explosion
in history
in a billionth of a billionth of a
billionth of a second the universe grew
from the size of that tiny point to
something billions of miles across this
colossal blast created everything all
the matter we see in the universe today
and it did all this without even making
a sound when one sees the Big Bang
portrayed in the film there’s always a
big bang a noise of course that’s silly
because sound doesn’t propagate in space
but what’s often overlooked is that the
Big Bang is not just an explosion that
happened at some moment in time at some
point in space
it was not just an explosion of material
into an empty universe that was sitting
there waiting to be filled it was the
explosion of space and time into
existence to begin with and that’s what
trips most of us up before the Big Bang
there was nothing literally nothing and
the black void of space is something so
is time they ask what’s before the Big
Bang what’s before there is time is
really a meaningless question and
likewise to ask where the Big Bang
occurred is meaningless because there
was no space
