    Atheists: What exactly caused the Big Bang?

    Doubt you will listen or at least read. E= MC2 , its my own opinion. If E=MC2 and the universe is expanding than Energy is required, E is increasing . The only source we have for Energy is the conversion of mass. So E is increasing as M is decreasing which means C cannot be a contestant but is a variable of increasing value.

    Take that equation back to the origin, that is E=0 and the only thing you have in the Universe is mass. That is what the equations say. According to Schwarchild,, D= 4GM divided by C2. There is a thing called vacuum became which claims that any large mass will create a matter antimatter reaction. That is the Antimatter and matter are created in couplets which inter act and create energy where only mass existed before.

    Matter , antimatter reactions produce a hell of allot energy you could consider that the big bang,

    Not that simple how the reaction continues , that is the Big Bang is an on going process not a single event

    Every star emitting energy is part of the big bang. It is still on going and always shall be until the big crunch.

    Back in the day I met this really hot girl at a Jefferson Airplane concert at the Fillmore East on Second Ave

    We decided to walk over to Johns Pizzeria on Bleecker Street for some late night stoned munchies

    Somewhere between those two points our passion got the best of us and we ducked into an alley and had the Big Bang standing up

    So the combination of the woman , the weed , the music and the Village are what caused that particular Big Bang

    It's a tough question to even think about, because time did not exist until the instant of the Bang.

    So to say something "caused" it is to miss the point, because there was no time for any cause to have any effect.

    What we are left with is a gap in knowledge that some people like to fill with all kinds of unprovable assumptions. I don't accept their arguments because they are invariably poorly-formed.

    I don't know what caused the Big Bang, if "caused" is even the right word. I don't know that it wasn't a deity. Some other people think it was, however; but their evidence is without substance.

    The big crunch, it's that simple. A beginning breaks the law of causality, the law of gravity and the first law of thermodynamics, and they admit this. The current theory on dark energy is ridiculous, even though it can't be seen, and is only assumed to be there by the fact the universe isn't slowing down like you would expect it to due to gravity, they think that it's a totally new type of energy that behaves completely differently. They reckon it breaks the first law of thermodynamics and that it's growing in density as the universe expands. This would be the endless source of propulsion that the universe would need to overcome the endless reach of it's own gravity, if such a thing existed, and there's absolutely no reason to think it does. The fate of the universe hinges on what dark energy is, and it's probably just the pressure caused by a trillion trillion burning stars. When the stars burn out, the hot air cools down, and the universe collapses. A child could work it out.

    I have no idea whatsoever. The difference between me and theists is that I don't make crap up about unknown stuff.

    If anyone has actual non made up information about the causes of the big bang, I'd be very interested to see it.

    Nobody has enough information yet to waste time speculating on it. You can make fun guesses but they're totally meaningless right now. Once some easier questions get answered and quantum physics is better understood then maybe it will be time to create a hypothesis on pre inflationary conditions.

  • The big bang was the rapid expansion of all matter in existence from a single point (the singularity). Actually I have a theory that the singularity had always been expanding but due to the time dilation caused by all mass in the universe being compressed into a single spot, it was infinitely slow at the beginning. After an eternity the singularity finally grew a bit larger, the density decreased, reducing time dilation, and causing the the expansion to speed up exponentially, causing the 'Big Bang'.

    That's my theory anyway.

    Normal answer - it is likely to be a cycle, so when the previous universe went "big crunch" it became a infinitely small object, it big banged because it is unstable.

    Angry answer - same thing that caused "god" to exist

    Nobody knows.

    What makes you think atheists have the answer?

    Do you have a special 'thing' for atheists?

    Depends on your take on the Big Bang if you believe in multiverse etc.
