Creation+of+the+Universe

The Big Bang Theory is one of the many mysteries of science. New theories are being proposed to this day to further explain the creation of the universe. But what is the Big Bang anyway? To start off, in the beginning there was literally nothing. Nothing except for an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense singularity. Believe it or not, this was our universe. Where it came from, no one knows. After its appearance, it apparently started to inflate and expand, making it cool down until it was about the same temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool down even after the Big Bang. You’re probably thinking “where’s the big explosion?” One of the many misconceptions of the Big Bang is that there is a big bang involved. The universe simply expanded (not as exciting as an explosion, but science doesn’t always have to be exciting). Basically the big bang is a ll matter in the universe was compressed to a size of a large star which one day exploded sending dust and gas outwards in all directions. Million of years later, the dust and gas formed stars and galaxies. Today, these galaxies are still expanding for as long as forever. But 100 years ago and even before that, scientists were trying new theories to explain the Big Bang.
