@bijouxbroussard The theory has been around for a long time now but from your comment, was this thread inspired by a recent TV programme or something?
(The name "Big Bang" incidentally, is rather ironical. It was a throw-away, rather disparaging phrase by a British astronomer (Fred Hoyle? I forget) who opposed it when it was first proposed. He supported the existing "Steady State" theory, by which stars etc. come and go but the Universe generally has always existed.)

@ArishMell If you’re unfamiliar with the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” , this post would make little sense.

@bijouxbroussard Oh, I see. Thank you.
No, I did not know about the sit-com at all, but took the question at face value. After all, it is in the Physics Group of "Science and Technology".
