Bigbang and the begginnig of time

In summary, the big bang model is a theory of the evolution of the universe after the inflationary period. It does not address the origin of the universe or whether anything existed before the big bang. There are various ideas being explored by cosmologists, such as loop quantum cosmology, eternal inflation, and conformal cyclic cosmology, but none of them have been experimentally confirmed. The debate about the true nature of the big bang and the universe's origin continues.

What could have been happened in the bigbang.If there were an observer what would s/he see.
And were there absolutely Nothing before big bang,Does that make any sense?

The big bang model does not attempt to address the origin of the universe. It's only applies to the post inflationary universe.

The big bang theory does not make any statement about the singularity or if anything came before. It is a theory of how the universe evolved starting at about one Plank time after the singularity.

But bigbang theory claims that the universe started from a point.Am I right?

Most emphatically NOT. The universe in the big bang theory is a hot dense plasma of unknown size and shape but DEFINITELY not a point. It might have been infinite in extent.

There are many different ideas cosmologists are pursuing about what might have happened at the big bang, none of them are experimentally confirmed. The debate is ongoing. Google these terms for some of these ideas: (there are probably many more)
loop quantum cosmology
eternal inflation
ekpyrotic universe
conformal cyclic cosmology
string gas cosmology
matter bounce
Gott-Li

1. What is the Big Bang Theory?

The Big Bang Theory is a scientific explanation for the origin of the universe. It suggests that about 13.8 billion years ago, the universe began as a singularity with infinite density and temperature, and has since expanded and cooled to its current state.

2. How was the Big Bang Theory discovered?

The Big Bang Theory was first proposed by Belgian priest and physicist Georges Lemaître in the early 20th century. It was later supported by observations made by American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who found evidence of an expanding universe and cosmic microwave background radiation.

3. What evidence supports the Big Bang Theory?

Some key pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang Theory include the expansion of the universe, the abundance of light elements, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Additionally, the theory accurately predicts the observed distribution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe.

4. What happened during the first moments of the Big Bang?

According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe underwent a period of rapid expansion known as inflation in the first fraction of a second after the initial singularity. As the universe expanded and cooled, elementary particles began to form and eventually combine to form atoms. This process continued for millions of years until the first stars and galaxies formed.

5. What is the current state of the universe?

The current state of the universe is constantly expanding and cooling. Recent observations have shown that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating, which is believed to be caused by dark energy. The universe is also made up of about 70% dark energy, 25% dark matter, and only about 5% ordinary matter.
