Proof of the Big Bang Theory

Chaballa

In my opinion if the Big Bang Theory is correct, it would have resulted in a really massive black hole, "Ultramassive Black Hole(UBH)".
Great Attractor could be the location of the "UBH", origin of the Big Bang.
This could explain the Dark flow and all galaxies should orbit around the "UBH".

I guess my idea is based on fact that very large explosion like Supernova creates a black hole, and the effects of the black holes and Supermassive black holes, etc. Does this make any sense?

The Big Bang was not an explosion, like a Supernova, it was an expansion of the space itself, not like a supernova explosion that is an expansion in space. So maybe if should be a BH caused by the Big Bang, certainly it was created differently as it happens after a SN.

It's not. Try searching in this and the cosmology forum and you will find a plethora of threads devoted to ironing out this misconception.

Fredrik

There's probably nothing you could have said that would cause more confusion than that.

I would object to the idea that any theory can "be correct" (rather than just "make predictions that agree very well with experiments"), but I'm guessing that's not what you had in mind. Perhaps you meant that we need add something like inflation to the original big bang theory to account for some of the things we see.

Calimero

Also confused. What you had in mind?

Fredrik

Fortunately physics isn't a matter of opinion, and as Amarante said, the big bang wasn't an explosion. I suggest that you follow diogenesNY's instructions here on how to get free access to a good article about the big bang. You should probably also take a look at the forum rules. There are rules against posting personal speculation here, so you should stick to asking questions about what the relevant theories actually say.

Haha.. I just re-read the thread now and confused myself!

I originally read the OP as

and hence answered

I.e., the version of the "big bang theory" presented in the OP is not what is meant by the standard "big bang theory". I did not mean that the standard model of cosmology is incorrect. Sorry for confusing everyone!

Chaballa

well i originally thought bout this idea about year or two ago while watching documentary about black hole, universe, big bang theory etc. I didn’t realize wiki said Big Bang Theory wasn’t an explosion cos according to all the documentaries i’ve seen Big Bang started as a big explosion. (from old ones like "Understanding The Universe" to new ones like "Is Everything We Know About The Universe Wrong")

Fredrik

I guess most documentaries suck. A few months ago (maybe a year), I saw a really bad one about the LHC called "The big bang machine". It started like this: "In the beginning, there was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Then, there was an explosion". Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Yeah... this kind of crap always gets me. But it allows them to do two different things:
a) use flashy computer generated graphics, and
b) overly simplify something by analogy

I mean, it really doesn't have the same effect to explain that, "since we observe all galaxies moving away from all other galaxies, logically if we run the universe in reverse they must get closer and closer and closer until some 13.7 Gyr ago the entire universe is extremely small, dense, and hot".

Such is life though...

Chaballa

yer there are always ups n downs, but i wouldn't say computer generated graphics used in documentry as flashy, they all seem outdated(in terms of graphics) n i guess they have to use it since they can't show the real event. In "Is Everything We Know About The Universe Wrong" they actually used a real explorsion(not CGI) to display the Big Bang Theory.

yer thats also wat i understood from previous documentries, but when i watched "Is Everything We Know About The Universe Wrong" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge6RjTgyLr0), it talks about Dark flow(new to me) and says "Galaxies simply aren't meant to race across space in the same direction.".

For a second I thought you were advocating steady state! Thanks for clearing that up lol.

Chaballa

It doesn't make sense to me.. ALL the documentaries(old ones n new ones) i've seen described the Big Bang as an explosion. All these documentaries had many experts(e.g. Professor of Physics, Cosmologist from all major universites), and wouldn't they also watch the same documentary since they are in it? and shouldn't they say umm that's wrong, Big Bang wasn't an explosion???

Dmitry67

Did they have a chance to say that?
Even if they tell that it would be cut as 'too complicated stuff'

Fredrik

I agree with you. The guy I quoted is a professor of experimental particle physics. That almost certainly means that he doesn't know the big bang stuff as well the science advisors who hang out here in the relativity and cosmology forums. But I find it hard to believe that he doesn't know that. So it makes me wonder why he agreed to say it. I would have refused.

Jerbearrrrrr

Well, the distance between stuff is getting bigger. May as well call it an explosion just to get the point across. It was hot and smaller and more energetic than now. Not completely unlike an explosion. As long as the ants-on-a-balloon analogy is explained, I wouldn't blame them.
I'd hope people wouldn't be inclined to think it was like some cosmic-scale hand-grenade.
That Horizon wasn't a very good documentary though. I remember watching it and thinking ":|".

Anyway.

Can someone comment on the "reference frame" that's defined by the background radiation? I'm not sure what I want to know to be honest, but I'm sure the existence of such a reference frame has consequences.
