How could particles that small cause an explosion as big as the Big Bang?

because like they say size isn't everything!
what matter is the volocity (speed) - compression (density) and mass of the objects that hit together not the size, so that a smaller object travelling many times faster than a bigger but slower object will cause more of an explosion.

What was the cause of Apollo 13's explosion?
It was hit by a small piece of space debris (possibly a chunk of asteroid), wrecking certain systems critical to life-support.
What holds the sand particles on the moon as there is very less gravity?
The particles on the moon are densely packed and only small amounts of the particles fly up and away as dust.
What problems do micrometeorites cause for spaceships?
Micrometeorites and undetectable bits of space junk (0.4 mm small) pose serious threats to every current and future manned space mission. The particles could travel in as fast 12 miles per second, with enough momentum to melt and vaporize aluminum spacecraft skin.
What are the small particles that produce a streak of light upon entering Earth atmosphere?
"meteors"
What may form when moisture condenses on small particles in the atmosphere?
AnswerWhen moisture condenses on small particles in the atmosphere, precipitation is formed. Depending on the chemical make up of the particles, the precipitation can have different effects. When the particles are composed of sulfur compounds, made from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, acid rain is formed and falls on the ecosystems below. Acid rain can drastically change an ecosystem by contaminating forests and freshwater resources.
What happens when lime water is added to copper carbonate?
If the carbonate is warm then it could cause a small explosion or shatter the tube it is in.
How do you cause small magic explosions?

Does carbon dioxide cause a small explosion when exposed to flame?
No. In fact, a pure CO2 atmosphere will snuff out a flame.
Why do large particles in a rock layer cause less friction than small particles?
Large particles have less total surface area, so caused less friction then the smaller particles do
Are cap guns dangerous?
No there not they just make a big BANG!! Not expecially, though the explosion of the small bits of gunpowder can cause small burns and can be a hazard to the eyes.
Is it a huge explosion of a small explosion when a supernova happens?
It is yes
Would a large man-made explosion for example a nuclear explosive on a fault line cause massive tectonic shifts?
No, the plates are moved by slow convection currents in the mantle. An explosion would just shatter a quantity of crustal rock at a small part of the fault but could not cause any more movement than was already happening many miles below the crust in the mantle.
What palindrome is short for explosion?
TNT (the dynamite that caused the explosion) pop (the sound a small explosion might make)
Why do you need to be concerned about nano science?
The effects of Nano particles is unkown small particles could act much like asbestos does and could pose a risk to human health and the environment.
Why does wood crackle when burning?
When wood burns, it crackles b/c the gas vaporises. If too much gas is in the wood, it will cause a small explosion.
When did Bath School disaster happen?
It happened in a small town in Bath, Michigan near Lansing on May 18, 1927. From the cause of dynamite explosion.
What is vinegar and baking soda used for?
For making a volcano? When the two are added together, they cause a small explosion, making it look like a small model of a volcano is errupting like a real one.
