Answer 1

The big bang theory proposes that the universe originated from a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature. Approximately 13.8 billion years ago, this singularity began to rapidly expand and cool, leading to the formation of matter and energy. Over time, the universe continued to expand and evolve, with matter clumping together to form galaxies, stars, and eventually planets. The big bang theory is supported by various pieces of evidence, such as the observation of cosmic microwave background radiation and the redshift of galaxies, which indicate an expanding universe.
