Until The Big Bang

Every story has a beginning, as well as our Earth. Not only Earth, but also the Sun,
Neptune, the Moon, or even about how can the Milky Way Galaxy was formed. Most of the
people would say Earth was created by God in seven days, or everything was here for a long
time until we have arrived, but how can we know that its true? Those questions appear for more
than century. Scientists are still finding the answers to them. Until now, there are a lot of
mysterious things that no one has ever discovered. There is a possibility that scientists today
went wrong, but if based on the latest information ever come out, we can assume that; In the
beginning, the universe was blank until the big bang occurred.
Thinking about a black, blank paper, assumed that it was the first moment of the big
bang. After the big bang occurred for about 13.7 billion years later, it formed us! As Elizabeth
Howell(2014), from space.com on What is The Big Bang Theory states that The Big Bang
Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. Scientists believed that the
universe has been expanding ever since, and it kept expanding which had no sign of ending.
However, the questions came up about What happen after The Big Bang? Well, they called it
Inflation. Shortly after the Big Bang, Inflation occurs. dictionary.reference.com stated Inflation
as; A theory according to which the universe underwent extremely rapid expansion after an
original event called The Big Bang, and has been expanding ever since. After the inflation, the
temperature of the universe is extremely high, and it rapidly cools down within a second.
According to Liu, 2014, the universe formed a helium and hydrogen gases which most of the
universe made with them. Finally, The gravity attracted all the gases and formed the first star.
Until the collections stars joined together and became a one single galaxy (Tina Liu, 2014).

Until The Big Bang

From the founder of The Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein(1879-1955), he was one
of the greatest scientists in the world history. He first published special theory relativity in 1905,
then he published general theory of relativity. He came up with the famous equation E = MC2
(Strickland, Does space have a shape?). Furthermore, The Theory of Relativity is evolved to the
beginning of The Big Bang Theory. Georges Lemaitre, known as the father of The Big Bang
Theory, was the first one who came up with the idea of an expanding universe (Soter, Tyson).
In 1927, he developed Einsteins equation into the answer of the expanding universe. Around
1930s, Georges Lemaitre and Albert Einstein were traveling together to California for a
conference. After Georges Lemaitre had a speech about The Big Bang Theory, Einstein satisfied
the speech and said "This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I
have ever listened (Midbon, 2000). Later in his life, he explored more of the universe which led
to more explanation about the universe and gravity.
As the time passed by, not only the technology that was even more advance, but also
permitted the ability of the modern scientists to develop new ideas of The Big Bang Theory.
Stephen Hawking was one of scientists who led The Big Bang Theory into the next step
(hawking.org.uk). He was a physicist, cosmologist, and writer, and he was also considered the
most famous scientist that is still alive (Berger, 2009). He studied about The Big Bang Theory
and The Theory of Relativity, and his most admirable work is proving that a singularity may
have occurred in The Big Bangs period of time (Mastin, 2009). His knowledge about the theory
made it more clarity and gave a chance for new cosmologist to get involved into this theory.
In brief, nothing exists forever, it always has a beginning, but also an ending. The Big
Bang Theory is not a law which means it may not actually happen, but this is what most

scientists believed and it was proved. First, This Theory was not invented until Albert Einstein
discovered The Theory of Relativity, and later on, Georges Lemaitre developed Einsteins theory.
As an outcome, The Big Bang Theory was created. Both of them have a great impact on
cosmologist field by forming an explanation about the universe. They were not only shared their
knowledge to themselves, yet extended to the further generations. One of the most visible person
of this generation cannot be other, but Stephen Hawking who now reached the next step of the
universe by proving that the singularity had occurred during the birth of universe. However,
nothing could ever happened if there was no curiouser like them on Earth.
