A question about the big
bang.
As I understand it, at
the moment ‘before’ the big
bang, there was nothing material- not even an electron. After the
big-bang,
energy started converting to matter, according to
E=MC^2
Question- how can this
equation balance at the very start, where
M approaches 0? You have M approaches zero on the right side of the
equation,
and E approaching infinity on the left, correct? C is just a
(relatively small)
constant, so it can’t have much of any effect. I’m wondering
how this equation works, with the left side approaching infinity and
the right approaching
zero; but it is balanced…?
I understand that the
theory breaks down as you get closer to
the start of the big bang- any idea how close you can get to the big
bang before
breaks—how many atoms exist?
The “expelled” movie
makes a big deal of science
not knowing how life came from non-life. I wonder also about atoms
coming
from no matter—at one point there is no matter, then at another you’ve
got electrons orbiting a nucleus.
If you can explain,
please keep it short- to a few paragraphs.
