The Big Bang - Lawrence Krauss and Michio Kaku
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Professor Lawrence Krauss and Professor Michio Kaku explain the physics behind the events in the first second of The Big Bang, events which range from the first fractions of a second after creation: The Plank Era; The field symmetry breaking; formation of elementary particles; Matter-antimatter annihilation (explained by Dr. Tara Shears); Formation of atoms and the last scattering of photons which make up the Cosmic Microwave Background (Explained by Dr. David N. Spergel) to the billions of years of stellar evolution: the formation of stars and Galaxies which developed the visible universe as seen today. Using High Energy Particle Accelerators and Observational and Theoretical Astrophysics, scientists are able to recreate the first few fractions of a second after the Big Bang, to the point of symmetry breaking, and in conjunction by using space and earth-based observatories observe the remnants of the Big Bang itself using powerful analysis of the CMB by the WMAP and Planck Spacecraft combined with the modelling of the large scale structure of the universe as done by The Sloan Digital Sky Survey.. The Initial Conditions of the Universe are still a mystery and debate has gone on recently to whether or not there were even any initial conditions at all, maybe the universe can form from no initial conditions in standard space-time and that the very fabric of space, curled up in perhaps infinite dimensions creates an infinite set of paths for scalar fields to branch off of and interfere to create the flow of energy from the initial big bang. Such a theory is predicted by M-Theory, which gives the Multiverse picture of curved Space-Time in 11 Dimensions which, through quantum mechanics, create many scalar fields that couple at different strengths in each universe creating a different set of physical laws in each universe. Not all universes could be suitable for life, each universe seems to have the Planck Constant encoded into it, as it is the Uncertainty Principle and the Sum over Histories that lead to the Multiverse picture in the first place, however the coupling strengths of gravity and electromagnetism are completely arbitrary in this view. In some of these Universes, Electromagnetism could be very strongly coupled in certain schemes meaning that basic chemistry would not arise in some universes. In other Universes the Strong Nuclear force may be too weak to give sufficient binding energy to atomic nuclei, making fusion impossible. In other Universes, Gravity may be coupled far more strongly, creating a Universe of Galaxy Cluster-sized black holes. Other Universes still may be composed of nothing but vacuum energy. Hence we must be living in a Universe suitable for life as we are here observing it, that is the nature of The Anthropic Principle which is used to answer the question, "why is the universe the way it is?" However, the true meaning of the answer comes from Theoretical Physics and M-Theory: The Universe need not be suitable for life, our one just happens to be.

OMG, most of physicist misled by Einstein!

I love the fact that these guys think they are so smart and proceed to tell us how the whole universe got here along with everything in it, yet they cannot tell us how a 100 pound man built the Coral Castle all by himself with no modern equipment less than a 100 years ago. And just for the record, it's kind of ironic in their claim of how fast everything was formed because according to the Bible it was spoke into existence, just like that....hmmm

Silly little NASAbots! You call yourselves educated! Spinning out of control in a made up space fantasy globe earth!! How does water level bend on a containment area? GlobeHeads need too find a new job doing something useful and not deceitful!

1:07 did that motherfucker say there was no thyme ???? How the fuck did they make bolognese then ???? FFS ! Can't blame God for blowing shit up ! How the hell do you wanna eat a proper pasta dish without fucking thyme in it ???

" Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe? " (Quran 21:30)
" And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander ."(Quran 51:47) -
10 -43 S ...!!!! just blowing my mind, how small is it !!!!

The Big Bang is a great idea, but no one ever says why it had to be a speck the size of an atom. Why not a huge ball of matter or something? They never say why they think it was a speck.

I knew I could count on the comments section of this video to get my daily dose of christian outrage. "Nah uh! Jezus made everything and ur a stupid face! derp derp derp"

Already lost me because of bull shit.
Do not tell me what existed before. You have no fucken clue. -
I get so many questions when I watch this but why bother asking when it's all one large peace of guesses and theories

"Can a physicist visualize an electron? The electron is materially
inconceivable and yet, it is so perfectly known through its effects that we use
it to illuminate our cities, guide our airlines through the night skies and
take the most accurate measurements. What strange rationale makes some
physicists accept the inconceivable electrons as real while refusing to accept
the reality of a Designer on the ground that they cannot conceive Him? It is in
scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for
the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be
an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than
happening by chance.— Wernher von Braun. (Worlds most famous rocket scientist)
In letter to California State board of Education (14 Sep 1972)
"There can never be any real opposition between religion and
science; for the one is the complement of the other. Every serious and
reflective person realized, I think, that the religious element in his nature
must be recognized and cultivated if all the powers of the human soul are to
act together in perfect balance and harmony. And indeed it was not by accident
that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls. -Max Planck
(Nobel Laureate on Physics) In his book "Where Is Science Going"
"Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the
earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts
of heat and light. This did not happen by chance."- Sir Isaac Newton
"I will not accept that [creation] philosophically, because I do not wan to believe in God. Therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible. spontaneous generation arising to evolution." (George Wald [Nobel Prize Winner], "Biochemical Science: An Inquiry Into Life") -

I knew the truth was hidden inside a CRT Tv 13:23.

So all this shit just literally came out of the blue, organized itself and by happenstance created life.
Amazing how symmetry and balance just happen. -
If it has particles and a field then we can manipulate it. It is just question of time.
-
big bang theory is NOT fact. the only way the observable universe could have come from a singularity is if it is a mass ejection from a black hole bigger than anything imaginable.
-
LHC equals the biggest waste of money in all of mankind. Did it find anything?

It appears that every person wants to be the ultimate GURU!Truth is **** NO ONE KNOWS!Stop trying to be the top banana and enjoy life, or spend your whole life trying to prove that YOU ARE THE ONE THAT KNOWS IT ALL, because the one thing that is the absolute proof is that the choise is yours alone and you will never be as intelligent as you think you are. My choise is go out, enjoy a cold lemonaid under a palmtree at the beach, here in Florida and expeience all that this fantastic nature has to offer, and perhaps contiplate my navel.

Not knowing/understanding what was there before the "big bang" is not problematic. Plenty of "things" in the history of humanity just "were" without us knowing how, why, etc. A lot of things eventually became known, through science (not through religion), sooner or later. The same can be applied to BB theory and questions like: what was there before? We don't know yet just like humans in the past didn't know where the lightning came from. We're working on it, at the discretion of space/time itself! Maybe we (humans, on planet earth) will never know. Maybe others, more evolved, elsewhere, know it already. Big deal. Ask yourself: would you be a different, better, humbler, happier person if you knew? Look at the comments below and behold how PRIMITIVE we still are, both religious folks and atheists.
