In summary, the Big Bang theory explains the origin and evolution of the universe as starting from a singularity and expanding and cooling over time. "Different universe building blocks" refer to fundamental particles and forces such as quarks and electrons. There is currently no definitive answer about the existence of other universes. Scientists use methods like particle accelerators and telescopes to study and understand the building blocks of the universe. At this time, there is no known way to create a universe with different building blocks, but this may change in the future as our understanding of the universe evolves.

After the Big Bang the matter of the universe started to condense and we ended up with matter built up of neutrons, protons and electrons, are there any models that starting from the same BB give a universe made up from totally different building blocks?

Not without completely different physics. It is hard enough to evaluate the physics of our universe - there are calculations how the world would look like if the fundamental laws are changed a bit, but I don't know of any detailed concept for a completely different set of physical laws.
 

1. What is the Big Bang theory?

The Big Bang theory is the widely accepted explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe. It proposes that the universe began as a singularity, a point of infinitely dense and hot matter, and has been expanding and cooling ever since.

2. What do we mean by "different universe building blocks"?

In the context of the Big Bang theory, "different universe building blocks" refers to the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. These include quarks, electrons, photons, and the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force).

3. Are there other universes besides our own?

This is a highly debated topic among scientists and there is currently no definitive answer. Some theories, such as the multiverse theory, propose the existence of multiple universes beyond our own. However, this is still a highly speculative concept and there is currently no concrete evidence to support it.

4. How do we know about the building blocks of the universe?

Scientists use various methods, such as particle accelerators and telescopes, to study and observe the behavior of particles and forces in the universe. By analyzing this data, they can make predictions and theories about the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

5. Can we create our own universe with different building blocks?

As of now, there is no known way to create a universe with different building blocks. The laws of physics, as we know them, do not allow for such a possibility. However, as our understanding of the universe and its building blocks continues to evolve, this may change in the future.
