Common Mistakes About the Big Bang
There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was and continues to be an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon being forever blown up from a extremely small balloon to being blown up to the size of our current universe.
Another misconception is that we tend to image the singularity as a little fireball appearing somewhere in space. According to the many experts however, space didn't exist prior to the Big Bang. So the singularity didn't appear in space; space began inside of the singularity. Before the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know; and the experts think that we will never know.
Every scientist believes the big bang theory as there is a strong amount of evidence to support it. In 1951 even the Catholic church officially pronounced the Big Bang Theory to be in accordance with the bible.
