James Morcan | 11378 comments I will repeat a question here I asked elsewhere in this group in case there are any scientists, or people with scientific knowledge, who can answer it...

What other instances are there in science of there being a state of absolute nothingness (as per before the Big Bang) where matter and/or life just appeared from out of nowhere?

Ian Miller | 1422 comments I think there are a number of things to note here. From my point of view, having looked at some of the evidence but not having got too involved in the details, the so-called big bang theory ha strong evidence relating to what happened back as far as 300 million years after it happened. Before that, there is zero evidence, so exactly what happened is pure speculation. However, some of the other comments are wrong. The idea that stars made the helium are wrong because helium cannot get out of a star. Carbon and oxygen can get out of some through novae after vigorous helium burning, but otherwise you need supernovae.

Similarly, correlations of galaxies with quasars may well be erroneous. The literature is riddled with mistaken observations, and many of these are eventually corrected. My personal view is that cosmic inflation is essentially fictional, but who a I to know?

Oh my God, that was really funny...Yes, that's me. Thank you.

Maybe it's Valerie, I can't recall...My memory is hazy now on who the serial killer is :)

James Morcan | 11378 comments Mark me down as "still highly skeptical" over the Big Bang Theory...I mean, we can barely figure out just what happened exactly on Earth in the last 3 minutes, let alone the first 3 minutes of the Universe supposedly 14.3 billion years ago...

Haha, you just used Donald Sutherland's "why?" question from JFK and applied it to the Big Bang!

But actually I agree with what you say or imply.

Think academia wants everything in neat boxes to be able to discuss and teach it, but in reality it's probably the human reasoning aspect you refer to that gets in the way of finding ultimate truths.

Someone once said humans are like ants trying to figure out the Universe...

Mark | 78 comments It could be both. It’s unobservable. We only know from indirect inference and data, which is all the difference. It’s just that anything past a certain point is inaccessible. Before the Big Bang there was just a quantum vibration.
