Quotes About Big Bang

If the imprint is really due to gravitational waves from the big bang, then this is the type of cosmological discovery that comes along perhaps once every fifty years.
~ Kip S. Thorne
Physicists define the Big Bang as a singularity. It is a point at which all the known laws of nature did not exist. Time too did not exist. It is thus meaningless to say that anything existed 'before' the Big Bang.
~ Yuval Noah Harari
It is an undeniable fact that the universe is only knowable to us through the human minds ability to perceive reality. If all human knowledge is rooted in consciousness, perhaps we are viewing not the real universe based on limitations of the brain. This proposition leads to the conclusion that the apparent evolution of the cosmos since the Big Bang has been totally dependent upon human consciousness. We create reality in our own image as a collective dream.
~ Deepak Chopra
El proceso del carbono y del oxígeno, esenciales para el crecimiento de organismos biológicos, requirió y requiere muchas coincidencias desde el momento del Big Bang. El hecho de que tú y yo existamos, y que el Universo, las estrellas, las galaxias y los planetas existan, ¡es un suceso muy improbable! ¡Una absoluta coincidencia! Un milagro que se remonta al principio del tiempo.
~ Deepak Chopra
God created… light anddark, heaven and hell—science claims the same thing as religion, that the Big Bang createdeverything in the universe with an opposite."Including matter itself, antimatter
~ Dan Brown, Angels & Demons
The most profound questions seem to have this fascinating aspect: Either they have no answer at all, or all possible answers seem impossible. So, here's one more profound question: Did anything exist before the Big Bang? Was the Big Bang the beginning of time? Or was there something before, some kind of eternal "meta-universe" that spawned our universe and possibly other universes?
~ Alan Lightman
with the behavior of the universe before the Big Bang a nearly mirror image of its behavior after the Big Bang. Until fourteen billion years ago, the universe was contracting. It reached a minimum size at the Big Bang (which we call t = 0) and has been expanding ever since, like a Slinky that falls to the floor, reaches a maximum compression upon impact, and then bounces back to larger dimensions.
~ Alan Lightman
The universe could be infinite in extent, but we cannot see beyond a certain distance because there hasn't been enough time since the Big Bang for light to have traveled from there to here.
~ Alan Lightman
Remember that the past fifty years has been the age of the Big Bang cosmology. We have learnt to see all reality as a slow-motion explosion, as pouring itself out and passing away, as dissemination. We live in a postmodern epoch in which there is nothing absolute, nothing permanent and nothing substantial.
~ Don Cupitt
We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that's where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it's instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.
~ Janna Levin
A smoking gun is incontrovertible evidence. And that's what I want: indisputable proof." "There is no indisputable proof for the big bang," said Hollus. "And there is none for evolution. And yet you accept those. Why hold the question of whether there is a creator to a higher standard?
~ Robert J. Sawyer
There is no indisputable proof for the big bang," said Hollus. "And there is none for evolution. And yet you accept those. Why hold the question of whether there is a creator to a higher standard?

~ Robert J. Sawyer
As Einstein might have put it, only a very malicious (and, therefore, in his mind unimaginable) God would have conspired to have created a universe that so unambiguously points to a Big Bang origin without its having occurred.
~ Lawrence M. Krauss
Everyone (with the exception of certain school boards in the United States) now knows that the universe is not static but is expanding and that the expansion began in an incredibly hot, dense Big Bang approximately 13.72 billion years ago.
~ Lawrence M. Krauss
There is no explanation in the Big Bang theory for the seemingly fortuitous fact that the density of matter has just the right value for the evolution of a benign, life supporting universe.
~ Robert Jastrow
I don't think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn't at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
~ Jimmy Carter
The term 'steampunk' itself, now a badge of honor, began as a putdown, a joke. But like 'Big Bang' in cosmology, the diss became the standard.
~ Paul Di Filippo
Are you familiar, he said finally, with the Bang? The Big Bang? Luka asked. Or some other Bang I don't know about? There was only one Bang, said Nobodaddy, so the adjective Big is redundant and meaningless. The Bang would only be Big if there was at least one other Little or Medium-Sized or even Bigger Bang to compare it with, and to differentiate it from.
~ Salman Rushdie
Out of thin air: a big bang, followed by falling stars. A universal beginning, a miniature echo of the birth of time Ã¢â'¬Â¦ the jumbo jet Bostan, Flight AI-420, blew apart without any warning, high above
~ Salman Rushdie
Every person is a puppet who didn't pick his own strings and those strings reach back to the big bang.
~ Sam Harris
Planet Lucy Press? I incorporated myself to deal with publishing and was calling myself Big Bang Incorporated, which of course has to do with the Big Bang at the beginning of creation.
~ Rob Walton
We saw a big bang in PCs; we saw a big bang in the Internet. I believe the next big bang is going to be even bigger. To be ready for that, we need to set the foundation, and that foundation is SoftBank Vision Fund.
~ Masayoshi Son
As soon as the idea of the Big Bang was proposed in the 1920s, astronomers set about trying to work out when the bang happened. Initial estimates were, not surprisingly, wildly inaccurate, but by the 1980s it was known that the universe was 15 billion years old, give or take 5 billion years.
~ Simon Singh
