Before stars, galaxies, or even atoms, there was nothing... and then, there was everything.
In this first chapter of Beyond the Void, we dive into the leading theory behind the birth of our universe. Though there are countless theories to the universe’s origin, one of the most widely accepted theories is the Big Bang Theory.
13.7 billion years ago, the universe began as a hot and infinitely dense point. This tiny singularity expanded , and in a fraction of a second, all matter, energy, space, and even time were created. It was all space stretching everywhere all at once. From there on, the universe began to expand rapidly, cooling and evolving into what we observe today.
There were two major stages of the universe’s evolution.
The Radiation Era and the Matter Era which helped shape the universe.
Immediately after the Big Bang, the universe was tremendously hot as a result of particles of matter and antimatter rushing apart in all directions. The Radiation Era marks the Universe’s earliest phase. During this era, fundamental particles formed in a series called epochs that occurred within the universe in the first ten of thousands of years; this era is when energy and radiation dominated. Over time, as the universe began to cool down, the universe transitioned into the Matter Era, around 30-50,000 years after the Big Bang, when matter began to dominate over radiation. Atoms formed, leading to the creation of stars, heat within the stars caused the conversion of helium and hydrogen into almost all the remaining elements in the universe, in turn elements became the building blocks of everything marking the beginning of the universe as we know it.
While countless questions about the universe remain, it's only a matter of time for some long sought answers to emerge. While the Big Bang theory is accepted by the vast majority of physicists, there are still some questions concerning it.
