The Big Bang

Introduction

This theory describes the supposed creation of the whole universe.

We have not yet managed to prove whether or not there was actually a beginning to the universe, nor have we proved if there will eventually be an end.

Singular

The big bang is a model of everything that imagines a singular point in time when the universe began.

Distant

It suggests that at some point in the extremely distant past, all the matter and energy in what we now know as the universe was once concentrated into an unimaginably dense state.

Original

This original state is usually described as a singularity.

Contract

According to this model, at some relative time in the future the universe will eventually contract back into the dense nothingness from which it came.

Return

It will return to an original and singular state.

Crunch

This idea is known as the "big crunch."

Expanding

It is currently accepted by many that the universe is still expanding from this original singularity.

Cosmic

Cosmic background radiation implies that we can still detect radiation travelling through the universe from the same event, even though it supposedly happened countless millions of years ago.

Emanating

Red light emanating from distant galaxies implies that they are moving away from us and blue light implies the opposite.

Shifted

Red shifted light has been observed and this eventually lead to the idea that the universe seems to be expanding, or at least moving away from our relative point of reference at the current moment.

Summary

Is the universe currently expanding from an original singularity?

Is there a definite and singular beginning and end to the universe?

The Problem

Did some sort of massive explosion create the universe?

The Answer

Energy

All energy (everything) is not unchangingly "created" or "destroyed" it is changed.

Whole

The universe as a relative whole is change and as such a more accurate definition cannot be achieved.

Observable

You might say that change is the only observable property of the universe that doesn't change, so to speak.

Expanding

The universe may currently appear to be expanding but this is a relative observation that is subject to change of three types in three ways simultaneously.

Relative

Even if the universe seems to be moving away from us we must not forget that our earthly view is ultimately relative.

Unchangeable

There is no singular and unchangeable start or finish to our universe, there is change of three potentials, at all relative times.

Did a "big bang" create the universe?

1. A big bang created the universe.

2. A big bang did not create the universe.

3. There is a neutral possibility.

Simultaneously.

Am I wrong?

I simultaneously oppose, agree with, and neutralise all criticism ad infinitum.

My point is literal.

There is no point creating a theory of everything that doesn't work.
