What was the universe like just after the Big Bang? Well,according to earthsky.org, Cosmologists have been probing basic physics during that earliest time using particle accelerators. The biggest one in the world is the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, a tunnel 17 miles (27 km) in circumference, deep underground beneath the border of France and Switzerland. On May 31, 2021, researchers said they used the Large Hadron Collider to investigate a specific kind of plasma present during the first millionth of a second – aka the first microsecond, or 0.000001 second – of the Big Bang. They said this plasma was the first matter ever to be present in our universe. And, they said, it had liquid-like properties.
Okay - that explains the Big Bang. Now, what explains the Big Question -
where did the plasma come from if nothing else was there?

The most fundamental question, and the one no one seems to want to answer. Where did the stuff that superheated and exploded in the Big Bang come from?

DeleteLogically, all of reality can be divided into either something or nothing. The only possible source for something is from nothing. I’m not playing with words. This is inescapably logical despite it seeming unintuitive.
ReplyDeletescience can answer a lot of questions. the one that they seem fail on is why.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning G-d created the heavens and the earth. . .
ReplyDeleteThe DIVINE is all there is, ever was, or ever will be. How could it be otherwise? IT is the fundamental essence of what every perceived-to-be-manifest thing is founded upon and the TRUE NATURE of all existence. Scientists will never discover this truth because they are not actually looking for the truth.
ReplyDeleteYeah, gone down the YT rabbit hole on big bang videos and still ponder that question of where did that original matter come from but no real answers. It may be something that is just "unknowable" for our tiny brains.
ReplyDeleteYes, the real answer is God spoke creation into existence. There was nothing before and then there was something after. It truly is that simple. God is that powerful and awesome.
DeleteIn actual fact, there was NOTHING at the time of the Big Bang except energy, out of which came the quark-gluon plasma. (Because E=MC^2) It was a LOT of energy, but the question still remains WHERE did the energy come from if there was nothing before it? This is a question unanswerable by science and which can ONLY be answered by faith. Theoreticians can (and do) say that we are an offshoot universe from the collision of two "M-Branes" (Cosmic constructs in other, higher dimensions) and that their impact released the energy of the BB, but that begs the question where did those M-Branes come from? It's an infinite regress. Many intellectuals (Such as Charles Murray who began as a staunch atheist but changed his views after years of research) have come to the inevitable conclusion that only an eternal being such as God holds the answer. The weak anthropic principle remains the best "proof" that God exists, due to the fine tuning of all of the cosmic constants that allow stars to shine and planets to form, as well as allow atoms to come together in molecular form conducive to life. Persons of faith don't need the weak anthropic principle for their belief, however, it is still there.
