Big Bang Theory: If There's No Center, How Is Universe Infinite?

[RandyD123]

The "big bang" suggests that everything came from a single point. If this is true that how can there be no center? And if everywhere is the center, then the universe by definition has to be infinite. And if the universe in infinite, then how did it become that way?

No, it most emphatically does NOT suggest that to a physicist. The name "big bang" is a derisory term coined by Fred Hoyle to describe a theory of the universe that he disagreed with, but which was (and is) correct anyway. The "point" interpretation is strictly pop-sci, not science.

No, it doesn't.
