SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies misconceptions about the Big Bang Theory and black holes. The Big Bang Theory does not propose a singular creation event but describes a hot, dense state of the universe that evolved over time. It emphasizes that the early universe was characterized by rapid expansion, preventing the matter and radiation from collapsing into a black hole. The distinction between the expanding universe and the nature of black holes is critical to understanding why we do not live inside one.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Big Bang Theory
  • Basic knowledge of black hole physics
  • Familiarity with concepts of spacetime
  • Awareness of cosmic expansion principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between black holes and the expanding universe
  • Study the implications of cosmic inflation on the early universe
  • Learn about the formation and characteristics of black holes
  • Explore advanced concepts in general relativity and spacetime
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, physicists, and anyone interested in cosmology and the fundamental principles of the universe.

We know the Big Bang Theory states that our universe was started from a hot-dense point. But should't it became black hole and every matter and radiation pulled to singularity? We would not be her if that is the case.

It is unfortunate that you "know" that, since it's not true.

The "Big Bang Theory" doesn't actually say anything about how the universe started. That is, that theory does not posit a creation event. It posits a starting universe in a hot dense state, which may have been infinite in extent or may have been finite, but if finite, it was not a single point in space. That plasma state evolved into the universe we live in today.

I suggest a forum search. the question has been answered here dozens of times as to why we don't live in a black hole.

A black hole is a vacuum spacetime. The Big Bang is based on a spacetime with matter everywhere. They are not equivalent.

No. The matter and radiation in the early universe was expanding very rapidly. Far too rapidly for any of it to collapse to a black hole, even at the very high densities of the early universe.
