The Big Bang Theory

 

 

Once upon a time, 13.8 billion years ago, a nonexistent universe said deep within his nonexistent mind: \'\'enough is enough!\'\'

 

 

 

 

How long should this long-suffering nonexistent universe tolerate this humiliating state of not existing?

 

 

 

 

After thoughtful consultation with his fellows surrounding nonexistent universes, he was advised that he should be more positive and try to do something,

 

 

 

 

and stop accepting this meaningless nothingness state.

 

 

 

 

But what should this poor helpless powerless nonexistent universe do to change his unspeakable state of nonexistence?

 

 

 

 

He was advised again that all he should do is just exploding in a furious hectic manner and everything is going to be perfectly fine afterwards.

 

 

 

 

\'\'But what about hurting the surrounding nonexistence if I explode into its face like this?\'\' said the tenderhearted nonexistent universe.

 

 

 

 

\'\'You are not going to hurt anyone, do not forget that the nonexistence does not exist in the first place, 

 

 

 

 

so it would not be hurt if you decided to explode in its face.\'\' said the wise surrounding nonexistent universes.

 

 

 

 

\'\'But how can the new existence expand into the nothingness?\'\' said the skeptical nonexistent universe.

 

 

 

 

\'\'Your are overthinking the matter too much, just explode and everything is going to be fine\'\' said the seasoned nonexistent surrounding universes.

 

 

 

 

It was a spectacular explosion to say the least, regardless of any known thermodynamic laws or any nonsensical physical laws like them.

 

 

 

 

Matter and energy emerged spontaneously and immediately in an extremely tiny fraction of second.

 

 

 

 

After his initial expansion, the universe was inexplicably programmed automatically to start to cool sufficiently in order to allow the formation of subatomic particles, and later atoms.

 

 

 

 

Afterwards giant clouds of these primordial elements – mostly hydrogen, with some helium and lithium – later coalesced through gravity, forming early stars and galaxies, the descendants of which are visible today.

 

 

 

 

It was an amazing success story about how a nonexistent universe could create all these wondrous worlds,

 

 

 

 

through an explosion of a Stroke of Luck in the face of nothingness.
