What does the big bang theory have to do with earth?

Answer 1

Although all matter in the universe was initially formed during the earliest stages of the Big Bang (in the form of hydrogen, which later fused into heavier elements in the center of stars), it is not accurate to say that the Earth was created by the Big Bang. Earth, like all celestial bodies, was created via the accretion of matter under the force of gravity.

Answer 2

We don't know. All we know (or, really, ever can know) is that the state of the universe currently is largely consistent with it having happened. There are a few things to quibble about (the Inflationary Epoch, for example), but by and large, all the evidence points to it having happened.

The evidence against it mainly amounts to "my religious book says something else", which is rather less rigorous a proof.

Answer 3

In the scientific community the bigbang theory is the current way to describe the origin and early developement of the the universe. It happened approximately 13.77 billion years ago. This is currently considered to be the age of the universe.

Answer 4

In short: everywhere.

The theory says that the universe did not start from one specific spot, but that the universe expanded from an infinitely small point. There was no vantage point that you could go back and "watch" the big bang happen from, that would imply the universe expanded into another universe. Which isn't the theory.

An analogy would be to think of a balloon. Not a real balloon but one that started infinitely small and expanded. Where on the surface did it expand from? Everywhere. If you were a 2D character living on the balloon's surface, you could not point to any spot on your surface as the origin of the balloon.

Continuing the balloon analogy - a 3D character could rightly say that the origin is in the center of the balloon, which isn't part of the 2D surface. As well, we could imagine a 4D answer to the big bang origin as some place not part of our 3D universe.

Answer 5

No.

Our Earth began to form about eight billion years after the end of the Big Bang

(more precisely, the end of Inflation).

Moreover, the Theory did not exist at that time, so could not have had any influence

on the Earth's formation.

Answer 6

Well the Earth was NOT created directly from the Big Bang. Earth was created from the debris (the rocks and dust) of the Big Bang condensing into Earth (the bigger rock). To go further, after the Earth was created, it was hit by a giant astroid, which destroyed it. This whole cycle went on again. The byproduct of this major event was actually the moon!

Answer 7

The big bang theory is an explanation of how the universe came to be. While the process of the big bang itself doesn't have anything to do with the formation of the planet, the big bang theory does offer a model that allows for enough time to accommodate contemporary theories of earth's formation and the development of life.

Answer 8

Good question. It was, we believe, about 13.5 or 14 BILLION years ago, and we currently have no witnesses - just a low-temperature microwave "echo" that seems to come from every direction pretty much evenly. But this sort of "echo" matches what we would expect if there had been a universe-creating explosion that long ago.

Answer 9

actually, no! The Big Bang is just the event that created the universe. It couldn't have made a sound, because sound didn't exist back then. Answer No, in space, sound cannot be heard. If you popped a bomb into space, you wouldn't hear the explosion. That is because their are too few atoms to jiggle, transmitting the sound to your ear. And at the beginning of the Universe, there were no atoms to jiggle and no space to jiggle in. So the answer is NO, doubly so. Also, the Big Bang was not really an explosion, simply an explosive expansion of spacetime. So the answer is NO, no bang was made by the Big Bang, triply so.

Answer 10

The Big Bang Theory doesn't even try to explain "how" our Universe began, it only DOES explain (as no other theory can) what happened after the beginning. Theory and experimental evidence match quite well going back to about 10^-32 of a second after the expansion of our Universe began. Before that point, hypotheses start to get ambiguous and speculative.

Right now our scientists can no more explain how our Universe began than they can explain why lightning occurs in the sky.
