Did space time be created at the Big Bang?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether spacetime was created at the Big Bang, suggesting that if it was, gravity would not be a fundamental force linked to the event, rendering pre-Big Bang events undefined. The Big Bang Theory describes the universe's evolution post-singularity but does not clarify the nature of the singularity itself. There is no evidence supporting any creation theories, including bounce theories, leaving the origins of the universe largely unknown. At "t=0," the model fails, indicating a breakdown in our understanding of physics at that point. The universe's infinite or finite nature remains uncertain, with implications for its structure and boundaries still being explored.

Did space time be created at the Big Bang, if it did, then theoretically, gravity would not be a fundamental force associated with the Big Bang and any events before the Big Bang would be undefined?

The Big Bang Theory is a theory of the evolution of the universe since one time after the singularity. The singularity is what you are referring to and the Big Bang Theory is silent about what that was and how it might have come about.

There is no evidence for ANY of the many "creation theories" including those that are "bounce" theories. We have no idea how the universe came into being.

At one Plank Time, all four of the fundamental forces were united into a single force, which eventually broke off one after another until there were four separate forces.

"Before the big bang" is not a meaningful phrase inside of The Big Bang Theory.

What do you mean by "the singularity", I have recently realized that if the Universe is infinite then it must have always been, so what is "the singularity"?

If the extrapolate the math backwards you find that at what is called "t=0" or "the singularity" is the place where the model blows up and gives unphysical answers. That's the basis for the "one Plank Time later" on which the Big Bang Theory is based.

Yes, if the universe is now infinite they it has to have always been infinite, but it is unknown whether or not this is the case. If it is finite, it is unbounded. That is, there is no center and no edge and according to current best estimates if it is finitely it is orders of magnitude larger than the Observable Universe.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
