I would say NO! But as they say in the marines,you pays,your money,and you takes your
choice!

Big Bang? Or no Big Bang? Or more than one Big Bang? Or something else??



I have no idea.

Dear David Maes:

Google 'Steady State Universe', then 'Big Bang', and then 'pulsating universe'.
See what you find there and what you think of it.

Good question MJA;

Taoist believe that even before light, came a GREAT BIG SOUND.

The bible said it was Gods' words that created light.("Let there be light" )

Indeed anything vibrating would make a sound. Be it strings or quarks. So I would imagine that right at creation there was a lot of vibrations ( You know good vibrations )

Best to all,

I guess that since sound is a longitudinal wave, and also requires a medium to propagate through, so there was no noises during the Big Ban. I suppose when the theory was proposed, the theorists did not refine the name of the process to a plausible one, and due to the laziness of humans, the name hasn't been changed since (quite cynical of me). However, what I have just claimed is only valid in our current apprehension of space; as one cannot be sure if there 'wasn't' a medium in the 'pre-universal' times.

By the way, where is Dave?

Dear Zelta,

Since every proton, neutron and hydrogen atom were all created in the first fraction of a second I'm sure the medium was created simultaneous to the BIG BANG. Indeed the sound would create its own medium.

Dear Pat,

The problem still remains, did time manifest first or did the particles? A even better question would be, how long was the manifestation?

Best regards

I don't know Zelta.

I thought it would all be simultaneous. That when that first REAL stuff started moving through space that time also started. ( Austintorn would like that:Matter Moving through Space ).

I guess the original spatial expansion moved faster than the speed of light, and since sound travels~700 mph I would think the medium might be present to hear a BANG.

I do know that you and I were there at creation, or at least our protons and neutrons were there.
And I know every time I hear a bang I jump,( memories of the Big Bang? )

I don't know if we will ever really know, but a good question.

Best to you

Pat

I notice that this thread bears a prefix of Scientific.

If adhered to textbook science, Big Bang was impossible to make acoustic sounds. (Because there was no air/gas, at most there were newly created plasma in that small-sized universe at that span of time.)

Only if we allow wider views/pictures, then we can propose that Big Bang created a media/continuum, the partial vibrations (if existed, also required to be of high frequencies and periodic) of that continuum can be termed as something similar to a sound.

String theory says that Big Bang created vibrating strings like strings on the violins. But strings are already the smallest building units of any particles, it seems impossible to have even smaller particles to behave like atomic air/gas surrounding the strings.
