Yes, the Big Bang was faster than light. During the initial expansion of the universe, the rate of expansion was faster than the speed of light.

What are some questions about the Big Bang theory and its implications for the origin of the universe?

Some questions about the Big Bang theory and its implications for the origin of the universe include: What caused the Big Bang? How did the universe evolve after the Big Bang? What evidence supports the Big Bang theory? What are the implications of the Big Bang for our understanding of the universe's beginning and future?


What are the three main pieces of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory?

The three main pieces of evidence supporting the Big Bang theory are the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements in the universe, and the redshift of galaxies.


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.


What are some of the most intriguing big bang questions that scientists are currently exploring?

Some of the most intriguing questions that scientists are currently exploring about the Big Bang include: What happened before the Big Bang? What caused the Big Bang to occur? What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the universe? How did the universe evolve and expand after the Big Bang? These questions continue to drive research and exploration in the field of cosmology.


Was the Big Bang bigger or smaller than the Earth?

The Big Bang was much larger than the Earth. It is the event that scientists believe gave rise to the entire universe, including all matter and energy. The Earth is just one small planet within this vast universe.

Who can travels faster than a light?

nothing, except for big bang but even that was basically light


Do subatomic particles travel faster than speed of light?

No, nothing known can travel faster than the speed of light. Theories do predict a type of "nonmatter" called tachyonic matter that cannot travel slower than the speed of light, but nothing like it has ever been discovered. It is actually likely if it did exist at the time of the big bang, it almost certainly left the universe almost instantly because the big bang expansion could not keep up.


Is it possible that there is no end OR beginning to space?

Because of the scientific theory of the Big Bang, the universe expanded in all direction still continues to expand faster than the speed of light


Did the big bang give us light?

The Big Bang did not give us visible light. Light, from the time of the Big Bang has been red shifted so that it is now in the microwave part of the spectrum.However, the Big Bang did give us all the matter that exists, and some of that matter formed stars which, in their nuclear fusion, produce light.


Where did the first light come from?

the big bang


Do Galaxies Move away from the area of the big bang through time and the speed they're travelling?

Galaxies Move away from the area of the big bang with time at speeds higher than that of light.


What was the time that the big bang?

14.5billion light yrs


What color is the big bang?

The colour of the big bang is impossible to tell. The singularity (a point of infinite density) before the big bang actually happened would have so much mass that not even light could escape, similar to a black hole. So right as it happened, which was expanding faster than the speed of light, it's density would still be enormous enough for a moment to not allow light to escape, but then once it did allow light to escape, all the light that it did not allow and "sucked" in would suddenly escape and with all that light it would be impossibly bright, and would seem white. And not until much later would you be able to see the colour and it would be many different colours depending on where you are looking (assuming that your retina's were extremely tough and didn't vaporize with the ridiculously brightness of the big bang)


Why does the height of space increase?

The universe is at an expansion stage as visible now. Space is increasing faster than the speed of light. This can be explained by the Big Bang Theory because when the big bang occured space was sent flying in all directions at relativistic speeds. It has also been theorized that the universe at one point will stop expanding and begin to diminish.


What effect does the big bang currently have on the universe?

I think the big bang caused the black hole which pulls everything in including light.


What is the radius of big bang?

The Big Bang is the name of an explosion which is believed to have taken place 13.8 billion years ago, and which created the universe as we know it. That explosion is still taking place, since the universe has never stopped expanding (and it is expected that it never will stop expanding, either). The radius of the Big Bang is therefore the same as the radius of the universe. The radius of the universe is thought to be roughly 14 billion light years. (Note that during the inflationary period, the universe expanded faster than the speed of light due to the creation of space, rather than the velocity of the matter involved.)


How can the universe have a greater distance than its age if nothing can travel faster than the speed of light how is it possible that it is larger than 13.7 billion light years?

Nothing within the Universe can travel faster than the speed of light, but the Universe itself expanded to most of its present size with a rapid expansion event very early during the Big Bang. This rapid expansion occured independently of the laws which function within the Universe (i.e. those which limit speeds to c).
