Big Bang Theory: Article Summary

 So I am currently doing research for a argumentative essay on the Big Bang Theory. I am looking more around the lines of the incompleteness of the theory, rather the controversial beliefs surrounding it. Here is a summary of one of the first articles I read about the idea of how the universe was created.

    In “The Myth of the Beginning of Time,” Gabriele Veneziano explores many of the problems to the commonly accepted Big Bang Theory. Beginning with arguing whether the Big Bang was what triggered the beginning of the Universe? Stating the idea that the universe existed before it. The author is very careful on making her case; at no time does she state the Big Bang didn’t happen, she simply explains the flaws within the theory. After all  tackling the question of the beginning of time, universe, and life is so large and almost incomprehensible that ignoring these flaws can be fatal to human understanding. She asks many other questions about the past generations of life, and the where society is heading regarding science. Quoting Aristotle she expresses a philosophy that something can not come from nothing. This is logic which raises the question where did matter come from before the Big Bang, or has it always just been there. Acknowledging that scientist have confirmed that the universe is expanding, thus supporting the theory. The author discusses the issue of how that, “time cannot extend back indefinitely.” Singularities are created with this in mind, which points out the flaw of how matter was suppressed into the smallest space, before it was violently expanded. Ending the author discusses the release of microwave background radiation. This radiation relates to the distance between galaxies and if the Big Bang Theory is consistent with different galaxies. Overall, there are too many questions that have not been addressed by the Big Bang Theory.
