It's the theory that the universe came into being about 14 billion years ago with the ultimate explosive event: a big bang.

It's opposed to the steady state theory, which was the idea that the universe had always existed.

The big bang theory is an idea that says the Universe was created from a single extremely dense and hot entity which propelled everything (gases, particles and such) outward during a large explosion or expansion, which over time created the galaxies that planets like Earth reside in today. They say it continues to expand and because of that the galaxies move farther apart from each other.

Using three forms of measurements, the Universe has a calculated age of 13.75 ± 0.11 billion years.

What is Latin for big bang?

Biggus Banguss springs to mind. However, the ancient Romans had no concept of the "Big Bang" and are unlikely to have coined a word for it. Caboomus Magni? Magna Boomba? Craccus Major! The term Big Bang was coined by opponents of the theory, and used mockingly at first. You are likely today to see references to 'inflation' or 'expansion' in discussions of the big bang. Be on the look-out; they might be references to the big bang itself.
