I'm cornfused

how can scientists say that the big bang happened but directly contradicts the law of conservation of mass. Also, how can something that is infinite in size come from something that has a finite size?

Same reason Scientists believe in The Theory of Relativty, and Quantum Theory. They contradict eachother, but still work. We just don't have enough information to explain how they work together.

The Big Bang happened, but because we don't have enough information of the early formation of the Universe, we are unsure of what happened, how and why. Also, we are unsure of what existed before the Big Bang, and what set off the bang.

Because the current theory states that the beginning came a infinite small size.

Also the membrane theory means that they would not be breaking any conservations laws.

isn't that an oxymoron?

isn't that an oxymoron?

infinitely small- .0000000...0000...1

[Murzin]

there is no absolute proof of the big bang theory, but there is theoretically supporting evidence.

there is evidence that we THINK supports it, but there is no absolute proof.

[knowles2]

isn't that an oxymoron?

yes.
but when you start thinking about complex scientific subjects you start to get lot of oxymorons when spoken in the English language but makes sense when you talk about mathematically and equations.

And as I am terrable the maths side I cannot explained using that language.

Whole and I was not the one that came up with the solution either. That was guy who probably far intelligence than either of us are and probably done a lot more research into the subject.

Someone missed a crucial science class.

Our universe is not infinite in size. It is estimated the the observable universe has a diameter of roughly 75 billion light years.

The ball that came before the big bang was an infinitely small, infinitely dense object, which is why all this matter/energy in the universe was able to come from something smaller then a proton.

Law of conservation of mass only applies to chemical reactions, we know from Einstein that mass can be converted in energy and vice versa.

i'm only in chemistry

Hahahahahahahahah
Way to come back!!

But I agree that the english language isn't capable of clearly describing those events. Thats why maths is so bloody handy. And makes me wish I stayed awake in maths class............

But surely, energy can't be created, if I remember physics right. It can only be converted from another form???

Mass can be converted into Energy, and vice-versa, so that's blurring the lines a little there, but still.

..............so............I'm right?
Or I'm wrong??

I'm just gona go ahead an assume u mean I'm almost right

Me to

I'm going to assume that I was right too

[Stewart5]

Me to

I'm going to assume that I was right too

Can't argue with a good assumption! Like, I assume I am so awesome I can fly, and look, its truuuueeeeeeee............................*splat*
