Big Bang Theory: Force & Surface Questions

In summary, the conversation discusses the theory of the big bang and how it relates to high temperature and pressure. The speaker also asks about the force and surface involved, specifically in regards to gravity and atoms. The other person explains that the force is not limited to physical surfaces and gives an example of how it applies to a closed container of gas. The force in this case is the impact of molecules on each other.

Hi,
The theory about big ban says that there were high temp. and high pressure.
But pressure=force/surface
I want to ask about the the force. Force of what? Is it the force of gravity?
And is the surface for the atoms?
Thanks.

It's not just a physical surface, but any area. For example, inside a closed container of gas the molecules exert pressure on themselves equal to the pressure they exert on the container walls. Any square centimeter area inside the gas has equal pressure to any square centimeter of the container wall. The force is the force of the molecules impacting each other.
 

1. What is the Big Bang Theory?

The Big Bang Theory is a scientific explanation for the origin of the universe. It proposes that the universe began as a single point, or singularity, and then expanded rapidly about 13.8 billion years ago. This expansion created the vast expanse of space and all matter and energy within it.

2. What is the force behind the Big Bang Theory?

The force behind the Big Bang Theory is gravity. According to the theory, the singularity that existed before the Big Bang was incredibly dense and had immense gravitational pull. As the singularity expanded, it released this energy and created the force that continues to drive the expansion of the universe today.

3. How does the Big Bang Theory explain the formation of galaxies and stars?

The Big Bang Theory explains that as the universe expanded, matter began to clump together due to the force of gravity. This matter eventually formed into galaxies and stars. The distribution of matter in the early universe, as well as the properties of dark matter and dark energy, also played a role in the formation of galaxies and stars.

4. What is the surface of the universe like according to the Big Bang Theory?

According to the Big Bang Theory, the surface of the universe is constantly expanding. It is also believed to be flat, meaning that parallel lines will never intersect. The surface is also thought to be uniform, meaning that it looks the same in all directions.

5. How does the Big Bang Theory support the concept of an expanding universe?

The Big Bang Theory is based on the observation that galaxies are moving away from each other at increasing speeds. This is known as the expansion of the universe. The theory also predicts the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation, which has been detected and provides further evidence for an expanding universe.
