Which question does the big bang theory leave unanswered?
Accordingly with THE HOT BIG BANG COSMOLOGY from Andrew R. Liddle, University of Sussex, David H. Lyth, Lancaster University. Some problems are not explained by the big bang theory as the existence of multiverse or single universe as well as what laws of physics were responsible for the collapse of the big bang.
When did the universe form?
the age of the universe is the time elapsed between the Big Bang until the present moment. A few years ago, the WMAP probe collected data that led astronomers to conclude that the probe's data accepted the determination of the age of the Universe at 13.787 ± 0.020 billion years.
What is the temperature of deep space?
It depends on what part of the space we are talking about. In general, it works like this: the closer to the stars, the higher the temperature. Another factor is the presence of matter: heat can be retained by it. As the space becomes empty, the temperature drops. In the total vacuum (no matter), the temperature drops to minus 272 ºC, 1 degree above absolute zero.
How did galaxies and stars form?
Typically, most stars were formed from large molecular clouds. When somewhere in the cloud there is a certain density of massive molecules, they tend to collapse and the central density then tends to increase rapidly, while the density on the outside remains almost constant.
The most accepted theory for the formation of galaxies is that the structures we observe today are formed as a consequence of the growth of primordial fluctuations due to gravitational instability. The primordial fluctuations caused that the gases were attracted to areas of denser material, supercumulus, galactic clusters, galaxies, stellar cumulus and stars are formed hierarchically. One consequence of this model is that the location of galaxies indicates areas of high density in the primordial Universe. Thus, the distribution of galaxies is closely related to the physics of the early Universe.
Recent data provides evidence that the first galaxies formed much earlier than astronomers predicted, only 600 million years after the Big Bang. This leaves little time for the primordial small instabilities to have grown large enough for protogalaxies to form galaxies.
