Researchers accidentally create a “Mini Big Bang” in the Lab
This may lead to a better understanding of the most commonly accepted theory about the creation of the Universe
Big Bang theory is considered as the leading explanation behind the creation of the Universe. For the most part, though, it still remains a mystery — All we “know” is that the Cosmos started from a singularity roughly 13.8 billion years ago with a massive explosion. The universe has inflated & cooled off significantly since then to the present day.
We still have no idea what caused the explosion. And based on the current instruments, we can’t go back to the peek into the Universe’s birth. The only thing that we can go by is the mathematical calculations & models. However, astronomers can see at the leftover radiation from the Big Bang through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.
Some researchers believe that the Big Bang explosion is similar to a massive star going supernova. But to create an explosion of the magnitude which created the Cosmos would need more than a massive star to implode in itself. We may be a step closer to understanding the phenomenon of Big Bang a little better after a team of researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) accidentally created conditions…
