The author believes that parts of Big Bang theory is not scientifically based and therefore try to stimulate debate by taking up some concepts and ask questions to physicists and cosmologists.Författaren anser att delar av Big Bang teori har icke vetenskaplig grund och därför försöker väcka debatt genom att ta upp några begrepp och ställa frågor till fysiker och kosmologer.

That is how much literature anywhere that treats the Big Bang theory. But I will stick to the allegation above and I write as little as possible and as simple as possible.

The beginning of everything

There is nothing more amazing, nothing more fascinating than the human ability to think!

And there is nothing more fascinating than our universe with all its stars and galaxies.

How is it then with the Big Bang? Big Bang is the cosmological standard model, that explains how the universe arose, how it develops and what will become of it in the future.

From the first contact with the Big Bang theory, I was its opponent, I could not accept it.

Everything we had read in school, in physics and chemistry lessons, was based on the
following motto:
ex nihilo nihil fit!

What are saying proponents of the Big Bang theory?

That everything was created in a huge explosion: everything, space, time, matter and energy.

In one of the many books that deal with this topic stands:

There was an explosion of space (and time and matter and energy) is happening everywhere in the universe. How then "everywhere in the universe"? The universe had not existed yet when it was created!

It is very confusing! This is more like creation stories, creation myths.

This is not science!

This contradicts the fundamental physical laws. In this case, the first law of thermodynamics. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form. In a process in an isolated system the total energy always remains the same.

Question 1: Can something come out of nothing?

After a few years

The cosmological standard model says that the universe expands at a speed of about 71km / s / Mpc (Mpc = Megaparsecs, unit of length). This value is denoted by H₀, is called the Hubble constant, and has been amended several times over the course of time, depends on various measurements. If you count backwards you come to a time of about 13.7 billion years ago the Big Bang.

Much has happened since then. First of all, something happened that we call inflation. In the fraction of a second, space expanded by a factor of 10²⁸.

Then there was calmer in about 380,000 years. But it was dark! There was no light! And there was no one who could have said "Let there be light!". But there was something! There was matter. And energy! There were electrons, nuclei and other particles. After the above time interval, the temperatu...
