How did the big bang start from nothing?
In: Physics
Nothing says it did come from nothing. The crazy thing is that we know the bang happened. There’s irrefutable evidence of that. The problem is it was such a violent event that it destroyed any evidence about what actually banged or why it banged. That said, I will give you one hypothesis that has been discussed. Virtual particles. They are particles that pop into and out of existence all the time in the vacuum. It is thought that a virtual particle so massive sprung into existence that it exploded into the universe we see today. It is incredibly unlikely that a particle like this could ever exist, but …it only had to happen once.
