Question

How did the universe form? Like before the big bang and all that, how was material created?

Answer 1

It formed when God created it........................

Answer 2

Before the Big Bang? There are enough s.w.a.g's (scientific wild a**ed guess) going around to choke a horse! The ONLY answer to questions about 'before the Big Bang' is, "Nobody knows."



As for how material was created, that's a valid question. Einstein showed that material (mass) and energy are just different forms of the same thing. From enough energy you can get material, and in the early moments of the Big Bang there was easily enough energy to cause mass to form. As a matter of fact, virtually ALL the mass of today's universe first appeared early in the Big Bang event.



P.S.

Don't be misled by some answers you get describing the the Big Bang as an explosion. It was NOT! An explosion has a center, and the Big Bang and our universe today doesn't have a center.



God should be spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G

Answer 3

It is non-sensical to ask about "before" the big band, because time itself didn't start until the big bang. The expansion of the big bang started the space time continuum. So in a sense, the universe has ALWAYS existing, since there was never a time that it did not.



Think about a basketball game. If I asked you how many points did Kobe score in the game BEFORE the tip-off, what would you answer be? Zero is the wrong answer, as it implies that Kobe COULD have scored at that time. But since a game has to officially start before he could score a basket, it is not accurate to say he has scored ZERO points.



Time and the big bang work the same way. Read the below article to understand when the game (universe) officially started.

Answer 4

There's the rub. It's easy to say "this is where it all started" but where does that start from? It is possible that before the Big Bang was the Big Crunch, and in the far future our universe will have a Big Crunch of its own, and the cycle will begin again...

Answer 5

I believe that God created the whole universe. I don't believe in the big bang at all. Some people may ask "Who created God?". I believe that God has always existed, and it's just one of those things that's too complex for me to even TRY to understand, but this is what I believe.

Answer 6

Some supreme power (whether you call it* GOD, Allah, Jesus, Chuck Norris, etc.) created the required materials to start the Big Bang; then within the tiniest fraction of a second- to small to guess- the explosion went off, eventually after billions of years of cooling and expansion, the universe is what we witness today. so to be more succinct: God started the Big Bang.



*the supreme power is well beyond any human qualities including emotions and gender, not to be disrespectful, a mere accurate way would be to refer to god as: it.

Answer 7

Before the big bang there was nothing no space not even time.

The material was all created in the big bang. Its only a theory though.

Answer 8

Imagine the universe is cyclical. It explodes, expands, stops contracts, then explodes again. But like a circle, there is no end or beginning. So when the universe contracts in on itself at the end of the cycle, it goes all the way back to the beginning, and everything, from the Horsehead Nebula, to the Great Wall of China, to Elvis happens all over again, and again and again.

Answer 9

When a solar star system exploded gases,and metal were trapped inside the revolving "whirlwind", which formed planets, namely earth. Go to to-day's "science" to see a picture and read the report from, I think it's NASA's report on one such that they happened to "catch on one of their "roaming camera's" just the other day. A good fascinating read.

Answer 10

God created matter, then he crashed it together in the Big Bang. God is male, you see, so he likes explosions.
