when people say the big bang was the creation of the universe, do they mean there was an infinite vast outer space that existed and the big bang happened in said space and created everything? OR do they mean there was literally just true nothingness, no space. which i guess humans cant comprehend ?? and the big bang happened which created outer space and everything in it?
if it’s the latter….how does one try to conceptualize absolute nothingness?
In: Physics
All it really means is that everything in the universe seems to be rushing away from a central point. If you trace back the trajectories, everything converges on that point, suggesting that everything started off in the same place before explosively racing off in all directions. We call the event that exploded everything outward from the central point ‘the big bang’, but we don’t have a lot of context for it.
