Understanding the Big Bang

The Big Bang is recognized as the event marking the creation of the universe, suggesting that everything we see originated from a very small, dense state that rapidly expanded. Astronomical observations support the idea of an expanding universe, with stars moving away from each other, implying that, if retraced, everything was once confined to a single point. This foundational event serves as a moment of creation for the cosmos, altering the course of time and space as we understand it. The phrase 'Big Bang' itself began as a humorous critique of this astronomical theory and has come to symbolize the beginning of everything.
