Yes, that is correct. For more information, read online sources (for example, the Wikipedia) about the topic "Big Bang".

What makes the loud lighting sound?

The noise coming from a lightning is created when the speed of sound is broken.The heat from the electricity raises the temperature of the surrounding air extremely. Since the lightning is so fast, the air has no time to expand.The heated air is compressed and soon the air explodes forming a shock wave. Like an explosion, the rapidly expanding waves of compressed air create a loud burst of noise.


What is the scientific principle is the basis for the rocket engine?

The rocket engine is based on the scientific principle expressed in the phrase: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" This is a rough approximation of Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion. His three laws of motion formed the foundation of the science and methodology that came to be known as classical mechanics. The rocket fuel is ignited at the tail of the rocket. The somewhat uncontained explosion, or extremely rapid expansion of gases, pushes out in all directions. That rapid expansion pushes against the rocket, advancing the rocket's motion in the direction of the nose. In atmosphere, the rocket gets an advantage as the extremely rapid expansion pushes against the atmosphere, and transfers more energy to the rocket. In space, the action still works, as the gas is pushing still expanding in all directions, and so still expanding against the end of the rocket pushing it forward. It is the EXTREMELY rapid expansion, due to the continuous "explosion" of the burning fuel that allows this gas to exert enough pressure to move the heavy rocket. The same amount of expansion stretched out over several days might not even be noticeable!


What does the big bang theory say about the universe?

That it expanded, and still is expanding, from an extremely dense and hot state.


What does an exhaust system expansion box do?

An exhaust system expansion box allows for the cooling of extremely hot air. The hot exhaust is cool in the expansion box before exiting the tailpipe.

What is the moment in time when the universe started to expand out in an extremely hot dense state?

yes *Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state. It's a line from a song by the Barenaked Ladies called The Big Bang Theory, created as the opening song to the show The Big Bang Theory.

Are you going to die because the sun is getting bigger?

No. The sun is expanding, but extremely slowly. It is estimated that Earth will become uninhabitable in about 800 million years.


Is there a Star Wars galaxy?

Theoretically there could be, the Universe is ever expanding and has millions of galaxies. It is possible, though extremely unlikely, an identical galaxy to that in Star Wars is out there.


What is the difference between oscillating universe to big bang theory?

The Big Bang Theory holds that our present Universe was, about thirteen billion years ago, in an extremely more dense state and has been expanding from that ever since. A sub-set of that theory is that our Universe has gone through an infinite series of expansions: each of which lead to a gravitationally induced end to the expansion, then a collapse of the Universe into a state of extreme density, and then another expansion. This is called the "Oscillating Universe" Hypothesis The latest observations make the latter idea very unlikely, as our present Universe will almost certainly never cease its expansion. Either we are in the first oscillation of the Universe that failed to stop its expansion, or there were no oscillations prior to this one at all. Unless later observations show that our present conclusions are wrong, there will no oscillations after this Universe. It is difficult to imagine how we could ever determine if our Universe was the first oscillation that failed to end its expansion or if there were simply no oscillations prior to this expansion at all.

How did the big bang theory propose spreading out from the center?

Your question shows a basic misunderstanding of the Big Bang, common even amongst scientists and fostered by popular mis-representations. Our Universe did not begin with an expansion from a center point. In particular, it was not an explosion of matter into empty space. Instead, it was an expansion of space itself, in which matter came along, becoming less dense as space expanded. There was no center point from which space expanded; all points in our Universe expanded away from all other points in exactly the same way. If this were not the case, then the strenfth of the cosmic background radiation would have a preference in direction. Instead, the CBR is isotropic to one part in 10,000. The best way to envision our expanding Universe -- and even this way has its flaws -- is to think of space as the surface of an expanding balloon, with matter and galaxies like ink dots on this surface. You'll notice that no point on this balloon's surface has any right to claim itself as the center of the expansion; all points are simply moving away from each other. The problems with THIS viewpoint is that space (ie, the balloon surface) is viewed as (1) expanding INTO something, (2) two-dimensional, and (3) curved -- whereas space in our Universe is instead not expanding into anything, three-dimensional, and (as best we can tell) mathematically "flat." If your actual question is "Why did space start to expand about 13.7 billion years ago?", the answer is that we don't know yet. We're pretty much like Johannes Kepler when he observed that planetary orbits were eliptical -- we know this to be true, we just haven't found out what's causing it.
