creating a big bang

[lithium.]

I have a question I was going to ask a few people at school but I forgot, but I was wondering if one day it would be possible for us to create a big bang or would there be to much energy released to create one.

Yep...I really want to know if it's possible I am going to make a post on physicsforum and ask a few people there.

I never thought cloneing would be possible, but now it turns out that it is. People are able to create precious stones, used for jewlery in their garage that you can not tell the difference between them and the stone you dig out of the earth.

So, it could be under a controled situation, they could create the conditions that were present at the beginning when the universe began. If they can stop light, then why not.

Wouldn't there be a really massive released of energy and if it did happen how would hey stop it. I just don't see any place on earth that someone could recreate a big bang.

I have seen a few papers on this a while back... Some scientists say it might be physicaly possible to do so, but on the outside that is probably would look and act like a black hole and we probably couldn't tell if we succeded or not.

But the energies required to make a mini universe are far above what we can muster at the moment and probably for a while to come.

There was no big bang, the universe just began to expand. The things you see are made out of that which you can not see. Even God can not be seen, but you can know Him, because He can be understood in and though His creation.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

HUH? LOL I am confussed there was no big bang but yet everything points to a big bang.

Reminds me of a T-shirt I saw once, I believe on a physist or posibly and astronomer (thin, geeky glasses, wild hair, you can't really tell 'em apart )

Supernovae are just industrial acidents.

Was there someone there with a microphone, to actually record if their was a big bang or not. If there was a bang, than those sound waves must still be bouncing around somewhere in the universe.

Still praying for you seesaw...and the rest of Atheists and non-believers that you would recognize Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior before its too late.

To bad it will never happen I don't believe and never will again. And what do you think that if I did I would stop believing in evolution and the big bang NOPE.

Yeah there was but not a microphone but a radio telescope. So we know that there was a big bang and there is proof.

Let me ask a stupid question, seesaw:

Assuming that someday scientists could re-create the big bang, why would they want to?

Personally, I kind of like the universe the way it is, and see no need to start over.

Heh that's not a stupid questioin. Well we could learn and see how the universe was made and how planets and other matter in the universe formed. But I still want to find out if it's possible without messing up earth lol. I mean there energy that would be released in a big bang small or large out be great.

Heh I agree there is no need to mess up this universe.

JohnR7: Was there someone there with a microphone, to actually record if their was a big bang or not. If there was a bang, than those sound waves must still be bouncing around somewhere in the universe.

DNAunion: No, there shouldn't be sound waves from the Big Bang still bouncing around the Universe. Sound waves don't travel through empty space - they, unlike electromagnetic waves such as light, need a continuous medium through which the disturbance propagates. My physical science text shows a simple experiment (relative to standard science experiments) that can be done to demonstrate this. Place an alarm clock in a glass container. When the alarm goes off, you will here it. Now do the same thing except evacuate the air from the container. This vacuum is far less complete than the vacuum in intergalactic space, yet you still won't be able to hear the alarm clock when it goes off. Why? Because there are no air (or other) molecules around to propogate the disturbance.

And as someone else pointed out (too lazy to look), we have detected waves leftover from shortly after the Big Bang itself - the CMBR (cosmic microwave background radiation) was detected with a radio telescope by Penzias and Wilson (IIRC) many decades ago. Further experiments have verified their finding with more accurate measurements. The CMBR is currently at a temperature of around 2.73 K, IIRC.

THe "echo" of the big bang is the cosmic background radiation as first detected by the COBE sattelite! It is a surprisingly uniform glow of microwave radiation comming from every direction in space.

They are, in a way. That is kind of what the universal background radiation is.

In the fifties and sixties there was a massive search for this radiation. If the Big Bang theory was true, it had to be there. And yet no-one could find it. The steady state people thought this was the end of the Big Bang. However, it was discovered (by scientists actually looking for something else).

While not sound energy - sound does not travel through the vacuum of space - it is heat energy, the sort of heat residue we would expect to see from an explosion like the Big Bang.

Well there is a problem some people will never believe in the big bang cause you have to use science to proof the big bang and a few people in this world just don't trust science.
