Where Did the Big Bang Happen? - Comments

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the concept of the Big Bang, specifically addressing the assertion that "time and space did not exist before the Big Bang." The consensus among mentors is that references to "before" the Big Bang are meaningless according to standard cosmological models. The discussion has been largely dominated by personal theories and speculation, leading to the decision to lock the thread to maintain focus on established scientific understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of standard cosmological models
  • Familiarity with the concept of time in physics
  • Knowledge of the Big Bang theory
  • Basic grasp of theoretical physics terminology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of time and space in cosmology
  • Study the fundamentals of the Big Bang theory
  • Explore the concept of singularity in physics
  • Learn about the role of mentors in scientific discussions
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, cosmologists, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of the universe's origins.

(technically speaking, since "before" and "after" denote points "in time", according to standard models any reference to "before" the Big Bang is meaningless)

Since the responses in this comments thread have been mostly personal theories, speculation, or off-topic (all of which have been removed) it is the consensus of the mentors that the thread be locked.
