I am not a physicist or science person at all and my education after high school has been in arts, so excuse me if it is a stupid question:

If universe exists in its shape as we know because of big bang, then is it possible that in all events of bangs, no matters how small they are like bomb blast or even lighting a match stick, there is a nano scale of universe created and ended in nano seconds? If not, then why? After all all bangs should follow the same laws of physics.

In other words, the "bang" in "Big Bang" is not actually anything like a bang, and just a colourful, if rather misleading, way of describing a rather unique and complex process.
It's no more an explosion than the "evening star" is an actual star or a black hole an actual hole.
 
The big bang was not an explosion at all, it was a gravitational singularity, the name is frequently deceptive, and the prevalent TV programs that numerous individuals watch surely don't help by delineating it as some white spot in space that exploded into an universe. The big bang did not happen at a particular point, it happened everywhere, there is no space outside of the universe that it is expanding into.

In a real explosion, particles fly outward from the source of the explosion, where as in the case of the big bang the space between any two points itself is literally expanding,

The singularity is when the (scalar) curvature of space-time diverges to infinity, and geodesics/world-lines end abruptly.

The term "big bang" was invented as a totally derisory term used to describe a phenomenon which the inventor did not believe in, but which turned out to be reality (although NOT a "bang" as has already been pointed out) despite his disbelief. Another good example of how the universe really doesn't care what we think, it just does what it does.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.
The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...
Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
