Well, that is what I learned in my earthspace class in high school. I mean, come on, who would certainly not  be fascinated to learn more about how this happened. Certainly not me. I would love some day, after extensive researches, testes, dejections, considerations, reveals, debates, court appeals, personal allusion, to come up with my own hypothesis describing the commencement of the Universe. Ohh, how I am looking forward to that day.  As I was saying, the universe came into existence as a result of the "Big Bang Attack"....I mean the "Big Bang Theory." So, this, this attack, I mean this theory explain the beginning in a tiny ball no larger than a marble containing everything there is to know about the universe and about life itself (is this amazing or what !!!...). What caused the poor thing to start acting up and then end up exploding is still a mystery to scientists ( Sort of like in a scary movied when someone goes missing and police officers are trying to find out his/her whereabout, so it is with modern scientists trying to decipher the cause of the explosion).

So this attack theory...I mean Big bang theory, is quite some theory, don' we say?...I mean, at first i had some preconceptions of my own,  but after learning more about this theory, my knowledge was expended as a results ( even though I promised myself I would not belive the the theory)

In depth, the big bang theory also explains what happened after the explosion. So here is a marble-sized ball containing all the information about the universe and the answer about how life began, suddenly explodes in a bang so powerful releasing all the gazes that everything we learned about in chemistry. The impact had released heat so blazing that it took extended years( we talking millions or billion of years here) to finally cool off and begin the process of forming galaxies and solar system and so on.

So is it true what this theory holds? or do you have your own views of the universe.

Actually where that "marble" came from isn't such a big mystery anymore, at least not in layman's sense. (To scientists, if they've gotten an answer, they still consider it a mystery until they know every single part of every single little nuance of every single detail.)

The mostly likely answer isn't a theory yet, still hypothesis, and materials to test the hypothesis and turn it into a theory aren't yet available (the tools neccesarry to validate still years away from being able to be created. But the origin of that 'marble' likely has its origins in False Gravity and True vaccuum are tricky that way. Look into high-energy physics. Anyway, it kind dwindles down to a loophole in the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Your high school science teacher probably lied to you when he/she said "You can't create something from nothing." Although that's what the Law of Conservation of Energy is usually interpreted as saying, what it actually says is "The total amount of energy + matter in the universe doesn't change." So what's the loophole? Antimatter and antienergy. Before the marble, the total amount of energy + matter = 0. After the 'marble' the total was.... still 0. Why? An even amount of matter/energy and antimatter/antienergy come into existance.

• ADD-esque side musings: Where did the antimatter and antienergy go? In a direction away from us - since we'd annihalate eachother being in the same area, only those that didn't bump into the other survive. So all surviving matter goes one way, and all surviving antimatter goes another way. What ever happened to the 'anti-universe'? It really doesn't matter anymore (no pun intended), and so no reason to really care (at least none that we know of... yet.) Although it could be fun to speculate (maybe it all goes backwards in time, since our matter universe all goes forwards in time? Maybe it just went physically in a different direction, so if we travelled backwards fast enough, we'd eventually catach it... and blow up in a spectacular antimatter-matter explosoin? Maybe it's right beside us in a parallel dimension? Who knows?

(Warning, analogy coming up) So, in all actuality, even though we don't know where the big bang came from, we've got a pretty good idea. We found Miss Scarlet, in the Dining Room, with the Revolver is the only real option, as almost everything else is accounted for, and all we have left to do is open up the secret envelope and see if we're right. Only problem is, someone left the envelope in the car of our evil twins (who swore they'd kill us if he ever saw us again), who are driving to the otherside of the world... and took our drinks with 'em.... the bastards.

The Beginning is not mentioned in the Big Bang Therory. This is due to the fact that its not real. When was the last time you saw an explosion create anything? I've seen my fair share of bangs and in my experience...usually they just destroy. But hey, if you've ever seen a giant atomic explosion make something, please feel free to let me know about it.
