Your question betrays a common misconception about the Big Bang -- that is was an expansion from a single point -- a singularity -- into a large, empty space. That is NOT what happened.

Rather, the Big Bang was an EXPANSION of ALL space, at ALL points in our Universe. Every spot in our Universe was, about 13.8 billion years ago, of equal density, and that density has been decreasing ever since. The point 20 billion light years from our Earth is no closer, and no further, from the place of the start of the expansion that where we reside.

Your misconception probably arose from the oft-repeated, but VERY misleading statement, about the OBSERVABLE universe -- a sphere of radius 46 billion light-years -- being once smaller than a proton. That's true but completely irrelevent, because that fraction of the total universe that we happen to be able to see is just an infinitesmally small part of the total Universe. It's quite possible that our Universe is infinite in size, and has always been infinite in size.

Thus, our Universe has NEVER been a singularity -- and thus, it could never have had a rotation.

Was the Big Bang a singularity?

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe began as a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature.


Is Big Bang and singularity possible?

The Big Bang almost certainly did occur.A singularity, on the other hand - whether it is the singularity of the Big Bang, or the singularity in a black hole - probably indicates that something is incomplete in our current understanding of physics.


What is the beginning point of the big bang theory called?

the singularity


What created the singularity before the Big Bang?

The concept of what existed before the Big Bang is still a topic of scientific debate and exploration. Some theories suggest that a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, existed before the Big Bang. However, the exact cause or origin of this singularity is not yet fully understood by scientists.


What do most scientists believe existed before the incident known as big bang?

Most scientists believe that an infinite dense singularity existed before the incident known as the Big Bang.


Where did the big bang occurs?

There is not a theoretical way to determine "where" the Big Bang occurred. In point of fact,the idea of a "where" existing before time and space began hasno meaning at all. Since theoretically the Big Bang resulted from a singularity, then the where, when, how, and why ofour unfolding and evolvingSpaceTime continuum(or our traditional four dimensional universe) must be based from this pre-Big Bang singularity. You would need to approachsuch queries from the perspective of "what" isthis singularity.

Where did the matter for the Big Bang come from?

The matter for the Big Bang is believed to have originated from a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, which existed before the universe began.


How is the term 'singularity' defined?

A singularity is a point in space-time in which matter and energy are infinitely dense, as at the center of a black hole or at the moment of the Big Bang.
