The origin of the Universe, the surrounding world, human civilization - all these questions have worried people since ancient times. Philosophers, theologians, scientists, and even ordinary citizens have put forward many hypotheses about the origin of our Galaxy, but none of them can still be considered scientifically proven.
For many centuries, until the emergence of the famous general theory of relativity by A. Einstein, it was believed that our Universe is static, homogeneous, infinite in space and time. In the most general form, such a model was described by I. Kant, who was based on the laws of mechanics of I. Newton.
For Kant, the infinity of the universe stemmed from the fact that it is the absence of spatial and temporal limitations that can lead to the origin of an infinite set of accidents that a person observes in everyday life. It was as a result of these accidents that it became possible, for example, to form the biological diversity of the Earth. However, to the beginningIn the twentieth century, so many contradictions were already found in this model that it ceased to satisfy even the adamant supporters of I. Kant. New theories of the origin of the Universe began to appear.
The German scientist A. Einstein approached this issue most comprehensively. The origin of the Universe, the scientific meaning of this phenomenon, became one of the main impetuses for the creation of his famous theory of relativity. Based on its provisions, we can conclude that the Universe is not static, but is constantly expanding, and as it expands, its movement slows down. By analogy with the well-known chemical phenomenon, such a hypothesis was called the Big Bang.
The origin of the Universe, its chronological beginning has become possible to calculate using data on the movement of stars and other celestial bodies. It turned out that our universe has existed for several billion years, while some scientists claim that its age is more than 20 billion years.
This model of the origin of the Universe had one significant flaw - the Big Bang itself, since it was not clear how energy could arise from almost nothing. An opinion was suggested about the existence of the Great Designer, or God, with which a significant part of scientists could not come to terms. The origin of the Universe began to be associated with the movement of plasma and pulsating processes, and Thomas Gold and Fred Hoyle generally returned to the fact that they began to claim that the Galaxy is static.
At the same timeIn recent decades, several major discoveries have been made that directly support the Big Bang theory. Moreover, scientists managed to prove that space and time also originate in this phenomenon, as well as energy and matter. Scientists can describe the events that happened to our universe starting from 10^-23 seconds after its birth.
The final touch in proving the Big Bang theory should be research at the Large Hadron Collider, as a result of which evidence should be obtained for the possibility of the transition of infinitely small density, pressure and temperature into energy and matter.
