The universe had a start - what caused it?
Scientists
are convinced that our universe began with one enormous explosion of
energy and light, which we now call the Big Bang. This was the singular
start to everything that exists: the beginning of the universe, the
start of space, and even the initial start of time itself.
Astrophysicist
Robert Jastrow, a self-described agnostic, stated, "The seed of
everything that has happened in the Universe was planted in that first
instant; every star, every planet and every living creature in the
Universe came into being as a result of events that were set in motion
in the moment of the cosmic explosion...The Universe flashed into being,
and we cannot find out what caused that to happen."9
Steven
Weinberg, a Nobel laureate in Physics, said at the moment of this
explosion, "the universe was about a hundred thousands million degrees
Centigrade...and the universe was filled with light."10
The
universe has not always existed. It had a start...what caused that?
Scientists have no explanation for the sudden explosion of light and
matter.
