Where o what from did the big bang got the energy to go bang?

The big bang marks the beginning of the expansion of space-time from minute to enormous. It marks the beginning of time t = 0. I don't know of any discussion of energy needed for the 'banging' of the big bang. Since it marks the beginning of time it makes no sense for energy to be needed to start the Universe with a bang, for this energy would thus need to be around 'before' the beginning of time. Also, the big bang is technically not an explosion, but an ('explosive') expansion of great great great great great great magnitude. This however does not resolve whether energy need be supplied for a bang or for an expansion. The answer seems to lie in a technicality of time.


How does expanding universe provide evidence for big bang theory?

It is not so much that the universe is expanding, but rather the rationalization for its expansion that provides evidence to support the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang supports interpreted observational evidence of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) barrier that there is an evolutionary expansion of the universe which promotes a finite age for the universe.


The big bang theory of the formation and expansion of the universe is supported by?

Evidence. See related question.


What is a result of the big bang?

The big bang began the expansion of spacetime with great rapidity. The Universe began with the Big Bang. In other words both space and time began at the big bang. The big bang started the Universe from the point t=0.


Did space time energy preexist the BIG BANG?

Both space and time were created by the expansion of the universe following the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang, there was no space or time. Now we have space and time, and we call the fabric in which the universe exists spacetime.

How long was the big bang?

Realistically - it is still going on. The "big bang" was a term coined to ridicule an explanation for the birth of the universe. It was not a "bang" more a rapid expansion. As this expansion is still continuing, the "big bang" has not finished.


What object must have moved during the big bang?

According to the Big Bang model, no object must have moved during the Big Bang. The Big Bang model describes a rapid expansion of space, not any kind of motion.


The most recent theory that upholds the big bang theory but suggests a sudden expansion after the bang is called the?

The most recent theory that upholds the Big Bang theory, but suggests a sudden expansion after the bang, is called the inflation theory. Earth is 4.54 billion years old.


What does the big bang theory have to do with the universes expansion?

It is not so much that the universe is expanding, but rather the rationalization for its expansion that provides evidence to support the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang supports interpreted observational evidence of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) barrier that there is an evolutionary expansion of the universe which promotes a finite age for the universe.


The name of the enormous expansion from which the universe was formed?

It is known as The Big Bang.


How big was it big bang?

The expansion of every part of our Universe was as big as our Universe -- which, if not infinitely large, is pretty big.


Did the big bang blow up the earth?

No, it didn't. At the moment of the 'big bang', which was really an expansion and not a noisy explosion, there was absolutely nothing except the massless energy that brought the big bang about. The earth didn't exist until billions of years after the big bang.


What other name was the big bang theory known as?

Some refer to it as the Great Expansion, because the Universe didn't really "bang", it just began a very rapid expansion.


The most recent theory that upholds the big bang theory but suggests a sudden expansion after the bang is?

That's the inflationary theory.


Are the Big Bang and a supernova the same?

No. The Big Bang was the origination of the universe; a black hole is the death of a star. Answer The big bang was an explosive expansion of space-time from a singularity, marking the beginning of time and space. Supernovae are exploding giant stars that form (and explode) millions or billions of years after such things as Big Bangs. The Big Bang was not a true explosion, but an enormous expansion. Supernovae are hugely closer akin to explosions.


How do planetary systems support the big bang?

They do not, per se. The perpetual expansion of the universe does.


Is matter still moving away from the explosion of the big bang?

The question is wrong in two ways:The Big Bang is not an explosion. It is an expansion of space.Matter has never been moving away from the Big Bang. The space between stars and galaxies is expanding.
