the big bang suggests that there was a huge energy density that exploded to create the universe
my rather simple(and probably ignorant) questions are these...
is the energies density consistent throughout?
what would cause randomness following the explosion if it wasnt
is it possible that there was energy throughout space before the "bang"
considering it is believed that the universe is expanding(and speeding up), is it logical to believe that the bigbang is sort of like a waters ripple in space? where the ripples size increases, yet flattens as it expands, hence why we view distant objects as getting further away, when in fact we it is still traveling the same distance, but instead of verticly, horizontally? <--- this was just a weird thought i had today.
and could anyone tell me if there is some sort of theory that would relate the origin of the universe to a ripple in a pond, and where i could get more information on that topic. Or rather, whether this is relavent to the bigbang.
I really just saw a rock drop into a pond, and it reminded me so much of what i read about the big bang, all the scum eventually parks itself around a specific area, there are large areas with nothing in it, and the ripple continues to expand and flatten. I was curious if there was more information about that.
any book suggestions or articles would be great
i really have only taken very basic college physics courses and just have a interest in this area. Mathematical models of course are way beyond my comprehension, but i would still be really interested in reading about them
