Nothing 'banged'. Nothing 'exploded'.
All the matter that currently forms our universe was in a singularity, and began to expand very rapidly (and is still expanding).
Within the singularity, anything might have been anywhere, because there was no 'somewhere'. That's because all position is relative (if you describe your position, you have to do so relative to something else).
With expansion, relative positioning became possible, as did change in that relative positioning, which means that spacetime then came into existence.

@newjaninev2 True but what if you took away even the laws of physics? I have constantly wondered where the laws even come from, what are they made of. I like Max Tegmark's idea of the universe as a mathematical construct. But where does the math come from? lol

@canusernamebemyusername Well, the laws of physics began with expansion, of course. Nevertheless, yes, it's astonishing that we have mathematics available to describe the universe.
@newjaninev2 This just leads to infinite regression to me because expansion must follow some form of mathematical rules. And space, that is dimension has to exist in some mathematical way to be acted upon. I really want to know about what I call the deep laws of physics. I will def admit not to knowing them and it just leads to infinite regression in my head. But maybe the multiverse is infinite. That is both exciting and terrifying.

@Gilhooly It's a perfectly reasonable hypothesis lol

@canusernamebemyusername Is that Douglas Adams? Hitchhiker's Guide..?
@newjaninev2 I don't think so since I have never read that but I do remember it being an author that I have read before. Also I definitely paraphrased the whole thing. lol

That is still the great question a lot of science is focussing on... My interpretation is that all dimensions were twisted into a knot till the knot burst... Like a cable with hundreds of strands twisted harder and harder till it can't handle the strain and explodes into a rapidly expanding frayed mess

Wasn't it the meteor that collided with earth in Mexico?

It is a rather misleading and disappointing title.

@DMmeyourtits I hope you find what you are looking for, so sorry for your dissappointment- it's a terrible burden to carry
