A Disscusion on what i'm thinkin about and today i'm thinkin about the Big Bang. What made It?

An even larger bang made the big bang.

Lots of atoms made, end.

Probably critical mass, I'm guessing. If matter can't be created or destroyed, then it was packed in pretty tight, like a black hole. Which is actually the same amount of matter as inside a sun, just supercompressed to about the size of a pea, not a hole at all. :P

Here is my theory:
Billions and billions of years ago, before the Big Bang, the universe was probably very much the same is it is today. However, scientists believe that the universe is constantly expanding and contracting. Couple this with the most awesome force in the universe we know about, black holes, the thing proabably played out like this:

Universe formed by unknown event (Or a Big Bang)->
Universe continuously expands after said event, planets and stars form over billions of years.->
Universe hits the edge of its possible size and begins to contract.->
The continued contraction and the formation of massive black holes, the result of stars dying over time, forces all of the matter existing into one spot.->
The compressed matter then bounces outward after reaching critical mass, thus creating a second Big Bang.->
Process repeats.

This is to me, based on what I have learned from several scientific studies and many theories, a logical conclusion.

Imagine a bubble of air trapped in a marble filled with water. You have the air (matter) so tightly compressed by the water (space) that it must burst. Thus, it reaches critical mass, the maximum amount of pressure, and expands. Once it hits the edge of the marble, basic kinetic physics come into effect and it bounces off the edge of the marble back towards the center, where the water applies pressure once more. Process repeats.

I am just sharing my theory, I would like very much to hear others.

EDIT: I see you watching this thread, Mosier. Please post your theory.

I don't find the Big Bang theory logical because it requires matter to exist, before the creation of the universe, to make the universe and the matter in it. There needs to be a universe to contain the matter that creates itself, which seems pretty impossible.

I think the most logical theories are either:
1) Time and space both extend infinitely forward and backwards. This means there never was a start or will be an end to the universe, and the universe is infinitely large and the things making up the matter in it can be infinitely small.
2) Existence doesn't exist. :O

Why, those aren't even logical. :3

I'd contribute... If my answer wouldn't be completely uneducated and stupid.

My theories make a lot more sense when they're inside my head

I think it came in an instant. Like one second, nothing's there, then the next millisecond, BAM!

Stuff.

Such logic! I applaud Chac for channeling FiverBlue.

The Big Bang theory explains the forming of the Solar System, not the Universe...

But anything that has an end has a beggining...
Doubt that would apply to the universe...

Most of these answers will be explained once the LHC performs the experiment and the results are the ones expected...
