Hi:

What happened before the big bang?

Sadly, its a question that can't be answered, yet its so interesting.

Something like this question may be answerable. Time is a property of
our universe, and it began when the universe began, so the concept of
"before" isn't easily defined. However, if theory and experiment
ultimately support the existence of one or more hyperuniverses, then the
_cause_ of the Big Bang in that larger context could be understood, even
if "before" isn't exactly the right way of putting it.

It is not! Time marches on independently of the universe!

Totally warped thinking, to think time did not exist until the Big Bang.
There was a bang, wasn't there?
What set off the bang!
Something in time.

Can you prove this? Time seems very much to be a property of
this Universe.

That is like saying water is a property of what we are, when we know
water acts completely independent of us, in the way it evaporates and
condenses over our oceans.

The running thought is that some primordial atom exploded somehow, and
became everything. All matter is hurtling from one central location,
proving
the explosion. What else could it be?

No, that is like saying "can you prove this"? Otherwise you are
wasting effort on something that cannot ever be measured.

There is no unique "central location" in the direction we are
moving from. There is no unique "central location anywhere we
can see.

An inflation of spacetime, from nearly nothing to where we are

No. One presupposes that time is distinct from this Universe.
The other assumes that time is a product of the Universe.

For a statement like "time is a property of the universe," to have any
meaning,
one must understand the universe is by definition all that exists.
Time certainly exists.

Further, time is linear. Examine any historical timeline.
And a line has no beginning, and no end.

So time had to continue forever before the Big Bang.

What other kind of force could cause all galaxies to move away from a
central point? It must have been a superpowerful force, to motivate all
matter that exists. Only some kind of spectacular detonation seems possible
to move matter in such a forceful way.

I guess I am jumping the gun, then, if the central location hasn't yet been
discovered yet.

O.K., then maybe the universe was a cloud of vapor, that just sort of
moved out in all directions, becoming everything?

That just doesn't sound possible, since we are talking about a wispy
expansion as becoming all that exists.

You are saying that the universe could somehow manufacture time?

This is rubbish. Most lines have a beginning and an end*. When was the

(*With the possible exceptions of the white lines on the Milton Keynes
ringroad of course, which form a moebius strip from my experience. )

You reason from false facts, so you arrive at a false conclusion, much

What galaxies? There /were/ no galaxies at the time. There was a hell
of a lot of energy, which needed no assistance to start moving apart
really really fast.

*sigh*
As a great writer once said, to the uninitiated, any sufficiently
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. That is to say
just because ones imagination or knowledge cannot concieve of or
understand the necessary process, does not mean it does not exist.

NO, please RE READ what was said. Everything is expanding away from
everything else. There's no centre.

Its really not possible to explain this with trivial analogies.

Again, you're essentially saying "I don't understand this mechanism,
so it can't exist".

Exactly. In the same sense that a banana manufactures yellowness, or a
frog manufactures croakiness.

... for precisely this reason. Not to mention the analogy is so broken
its laughable.

Nevertheless: experimental evidence points to time being a fundamental
property of the universe. Theoretical models fit this idea too.
There's absolutely no evidence at all for it existing except in the
universe. There's no call to invoke such an idea to explain any known
phenomena.

Running amongst whom? This is /not/ how actual scientists think of the

Nothing that hurtled from any location, for one thing.

In the instant of the creation of the universe, time and space came
into being. There was nowhere to hurtle from until then, and notime to
do it in.

Hmm, that would be in the same sense that "in a crocodile" and "of a
crocodile" are the same? Or "in jail" and "of jail"?

Have you seen my handbag?

No, I run mostly counter to scientific views.
Scientists are what are keeping us in Earth orbit 37 years after landing
a man on the Moon. We should have long ago started traveling to the stars
and beyond.

No, that would be money and politics. The US alone spends roughly 300x

since 2001 the space budget has been cut. Attack the right people

No, it is scientists that are keeping us in Earth orbit. They tell us it
would take many generations to reach a nearby star, and we blindly believe
it.

Actually, with current technology...we could get to the nearest star in
about 4 weeks.

The Space Shuttle could get there if you souped up its engines, in about 4
weeks. It just could not land, unless the Centaurians allowed it to land on
one of its desert landing strips.

It would not take trillions of dollars. Just a little ingenuity.

And you could go. Space travel is really very simple.
A lot simple than our scientists like to make us think.

So why aren't you doing it instead of shooting your mouth off about things

People like you are what destroyed the space program, because you
have no idea how difficult it is to even get into space, much
less any understanding of Newton and/or the basic laws of
rocketry. It either has to be simple and cheap, or you get
frustrated and take away any funding.

If you've got a better idea, let's hear it.

All you have to do is look at the planets, to know that it is the nature of
objects that move fast enough to constantly accelerate.

The Sun's gravity is a force of constant acceleration. Planets must counter
that force by a constant acceleration force of their own.

It's simple. If planets by going fast enough constantly accelerate, so
will
a space ship from Earth constantly accelerate, if it only initially goes
fast enough.

And you could get to Alpha Centauri in about 4 weeks.

you can travel across the universe in a few seconds according to your own clock
if you can accelerate fast enough

oxidation (or any other chemical reaction)
releases too little energy from the fuel mass
to go anywhere near this fast

Planets aren't accelerating. They have (approximately) constant
angular velocity.

The force of gravity from the Sun is one of constant acceleration.
If planets don't accelerate, they will fall into the Sun.

Hmmmm. My reading and listening tell me that it is not known if time
began at the BB, or if time existed prior to the BB and the BB was an
event that occurred at a certain point in time. Tough question, but
perhaps answerable one day.

well,
if the universe expands and then contract,then BB again,etc,
then there was a time before,because by contracting the time might go
backwards,yes?
IOW,when space is contracting time must contract too,because it's part of
spacetime
yes,or is it no?

Probably not.

Spacetime is contracting in a black hole yet time is going forward.

yes ,that thought of me was indeed probably not a just thought,
and indeed if the universe goes into contraction after expanding,eventually
it ends up in a enormous black hole,right,
and time stands stll there or almost (relatively)
but it indeed does'nt go backwards

For some reason [that I can't figure out myself], I believe that time
did exist before the BB and that BB was as you say "an event that
occurred at a certain point in time".

AFAIK, the BB was the most major event known to science, however it
does not mean that BB was the start of time.

It just so happens that we [scientists] haven't discovered anything
prior to the big bang.

That's not true. Everything we know about physics breaks down very close
to the BB, including time. Time is generally seen as a component of our
universe just as the spatial dimensions are. It really makes no sense to
consider time as something which existed "before" the BB, anymore than
it makes sense to consider space as having existed. As sentient
inhabitants of _this_ universe, our intuition is shaped by its laws, and
we have a hard time separating causality and time. But there is no
reason there has to be a "before" the BB in any sense that we can grasp
non-mathematically.

For a few hundred thousand years _after_ the bang,
all the matter in the universe was in the form of
hot hydrogen/helium plasma, similar to the present
surface of the Sun. No life could have existed, in
fact not even any form of solid matter.

Think again.

However, what you said, was a just a technically speaking, whether, it
allows to turn around a possible similarity betweem a biolology matter and
the universe itself, whether, as for instance, any biochemical process and
extremelly any environmental conditions, as for instance, along their
combinations, which would determine any reactions as any overreaction along
the universe.

Therefore, all the chemical molecules, that has had made the atmosphere,
along that matter, would be allowed a possibility, at least to try to
figure, that it has had been, along that matter, a definitely allowed to
diminish the sun by a just to make it a farther as to allow the creations to
get, more or less, an appropriate sunlight, for appropriate life as to allow
a most of anything to be a visible, a definitely as a matter a fact.

P.S- along some cases, the thinking delay the perception!

From the conservation of energy and matter, before the big bang there was
energy.

In most models, the gravitational potential
energy is equal and opposite to the matter
and other forms hence the prior total was
zero.

Energy equal to the total of matter and anti-matter.

Yes, gravitational potential energy is equal in
magnitude to the total energy contained in both
matter and anti-matter and other forms (kinetic
energy, binding energy, etc.). Since the
gravitational energy is negative, the total is
zero.

Gravitational energy can't be the only energy to iniciate the Big Bang.

Quite correct but it explains why there isn't a
need for infinite energy to create the infinite
amount of matter in the universe, the total is
zero overall. What I say above is a prediction
of many of the relevant competing models.

How do you calculate amount of exposive energy to initiate A-Bomb bang?
