Big Bang or Firecracker?

I was watching a show on Discovery Channel, about our Universe and its origin by Big Bang. It was detected that after the Big Bang, our universe was created and it still is expanding. But what was there in that space before the Big Bang? And also, what is beyond our universe? What is there where our universe is expanding? There are so many unanswered questions; I don’t think our science is mature in Astronomy. But not sure why people like Stephen Hawkins proclaim that its gravity which has created this universe, and not God! It’s not that being a religious person, I am hurt by this statement. I do believe in God, and in Science. But I do know the limitation of both! Science can give you many reasons for things happening around you, but cannot answer all your questions! Science cannot help you in your personal problems, neither can God, but when you pray to God, you get a strong positive energy in yourself. This positive energy is faith, and believes that someone is going to take care of things! Again, this positive energy may not be able to help you in all situations, but it does help in many, where you need to do some effort! Well, this is not my debate, that universe was originated by a Big Bang on its own or someone / something created it! So, I will leave science to continue their study and discoveries!


While watching the show, my mind started wondering onto different possibilities of our universe, and what could have happened? I am no scientist, but when you let your imagination run wild, you come up with wired kind of thoughts! Once such thought came into my mind, which I thought of putting down here today.

We know that time is relative, and feels different to different species! So, what if this so called origin of our universe is no big bang, but some kind of fire cracker? It has exploded, and now the lights or energy is expanding at a given speed and during the process of this cracker exploding and expanding, we have a lifetime of our universe? It is a possibility; you or any scientist for that matter cannot just overrule it as an absurd idea!

Expending Universe or Firecracker?

Think over it, we measure everything according to our timeline or standards. But what if the timeline is different for other creatures? Like the time it takes for us to reach out and drink water will be much less that to a tortoise! We know a lot of insects, which has very small life span! But consider this, that very small life span for us, is a lifetime for them! So, what if the whole lifespan of our universe is relatively same as explosion of a firecracker into some unknown construct!

We don’t know much about our universe, and nothing at all about beyond that! What if this whole universe is an experiment in some kind of lab in some other construct! It’s like we tried to recreate Big Bang at our level recently in France. There are so many possibilities, when your imagination run wild, thinking hard about these may spin your head! It’s Saturday evening, and I think it’s better for me to relax my mind with some good old scotch! See you all soon!
