The Big Bang

    The Big Bang Theory has long been taught in our schools as the definitive truth about the origin of the universe, but the experts in the field of astrophysics and astronomy have recently made observations that make the Big Bang Theory impossible to stand on alone.
     First off, let us explore what exactly the Big Bang Theory says happened and then we will look at the flaws in this theory.

     The theory states that the universe began as a very small point in space, called a singularity. All the matter in the universe at this point was so condensed and so crammed together that matter and indeed atoms did not exsist....just a ball of pure energy.
     As gravity pulled and pulled the ball closer and closer together, the pressure inside grew along with the heat. When this pressure and heat got to a certain intensity, it overcame the gravitational pull in a massive explosion. The shell of the explosion expanded at unbelievable speed in all directions.....much like a balloon being inflated.
     As the shell of energy expanded, it cooled and started clumping together, forming atoms.....molecules.....stars....planets....and eventually we humans.

     That is the basic synopsis of the theory and now let us take a closer look at this theory and discuss the deep problems it proposes.
