Questioning the Big Bang Singularity: Time & Gravity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the paradox of time and gravity at the Big Bang Singularity, where infinite gravity suggests that time could not exist. Alan questions how the universe emerged from the Big Bang if time and space were not present. The conversation highlights the implications of Einstein's General Relativity on the understanding of time in extreme gravitational fields, specifically during the initial moments of the universe's formation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's General Relativity
  • Familiarity with the concept of singularities in physics
  • Knowledge of cosmology and the Big Bang theory
  • Basic grasp of gravitational fields and their properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of singularities in General Relativity
  • Explore the concept of time in quantum gravity theories
  • Study the evolution of the universe post-Big Bang
  • Investigate alternative theories to the Big Bang model
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and students of theoretical physics interested in the foundational questions of time, gravity, and the origins of the universe.

Time should have not have happened in infinite gravity of the Big bang Singularity.

Einsteins General relativity suggest that time could not exist in a gravity field that was infinite.

Thus, my question is how did the universe emerge from the Big Bang moment , if time and space did not yet exist?

Regards

Alan

Where do you get that the gravitational field was infinite at the time of the big bang?
