Does anyone else think The Big Bang Theory (not the TV show,) is stupid?

We don't need to be everywhere to know what goes on in the universe. The evidence for the Big Bang is not stupid, it is real. No, a theory is not just made up, it's based on observation and experimentation. The Big Bang theory has a wide body of evidence and a long track record of making solid predictions that support it. It has nothing to do with what seems right to us. Basically, if the evidence fits the theory, you stick with that until new evidence is found which supports a different theory. So far, there is nothing to contradict the Big Bang, and everything to support it. It's not making things up, it's making sense of what we see.

No scientist worthy of the name would claim that the big bang IS reality. But the fact is the the big bang theory is the very best theory that we have today to explain all known observations. If you can find one, just one, observation that is peer reviewed and repeatable which contradicts the big bang theory then you are headed for a Nobel Prize, because in almost a century of scientific research by thousands of professional scientists of all nationalities and denominations, no such observation has ever been found. Hence the big band theory stands as the best and most accepted and best supported theory that we have today. There is a principle called the Copernican principle that states that the universe is pretty much the same everywhere and we do not live in a particularly special part of it. Hence it is NOT necessary to look everywhere, our immediate neighbourhood suffices. Once again the Copernican Principle is consistent with all known evidence. There is a certain amount of arrogance in some circles about who knows what. History would seem to indicate that a little humiliyt is in order. The truth is that ultimately we may have to accept that for fundamental reasons, there are some things we can never know. That being so, it is entirely possible that the big bang theory is not only the best theory we have, it is the best we will ever have. A theory that is not constrained by observation is not a theory. It is fantasy. Big bang is by far the best and most well observationally supported theory we have. Cheers!

because of the background radiation and the expansion of our universe, yes other people think that the big bang theory is stupid, but those people themselves are stupid

Please list your qualifications as a cosmologist, astrophysicist, physicist, theoretical physicist, and as a leading authority in quantum mechanics. Once you've done so, people who have even a rudimentary understanding of the above disciplines might accept your mindless rant. Never fails to amaze me how many people who don't know what they're talking about insist on blissfully exhibiting that ignorance. Look out, Stephen Hawking...here comes your replacement.

and I might add....even christians can believe in the big bang THEORY. I believe in God and I believe in the big bang. The thing is........God made it happen that way. If it would have happened another way,science would say....oh ...this is what happened,but still god made it happen. Just because it started at a point and blew up and has been expanding ever since doesn't mean there is not a God. people are so retarded.

It has something to do with evidence, i.e. we actually have evidence that the big bang happened roughly the way we think it did (of course the fact that most people don't actually know what the Big Bang Theory says doesn't help matters much). We also don't think we have all the answers, only some of them, there are still many questions we haven't managed to find an answer for. The Big Crunch is a proposal for what might happen in the future and current observations make it seem unlikely, some have proposed that there may have been previous big crunches but given that one looks unlikely that doesn't seem very likely.

Science is like a good detective story. You look at a problem, like a missing diamond or a murder and try to collect clues... a smudged fingerprint... a partially erased message on an answering machine... the butler is wearing a really expensive silk tie... and you try to come up with an explanation that matches all the data. If the evidence says "The butler did it" you CAN if you like say "That's stupid" but you had better have an explanation that matches the evidence ready. The Big Bang matches the data. Sure, it doesn't explain what happened BEFORE the expansion, but that's not what it is supposed to do. What is your obsession with traveling to Alpha Centauri and Mars? Let me tell you a secret. Humans may someday figure out the origin of the Universe, but they are VERY UNLIKELY to EVER travel to Alpha Centauri.

yup ur religious its a possibility that's what started everything but if u don't believe i guess god made it happen

Here's a hint: It's not the story that's getting stupider and stupider.
