Big Bang Theory Quotes

“People cited violation of the First Amendment when a New Jersey schoolteacher asserted that evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific and that Noah's ark carried dinosaurs. This case is not about the need to separate church and state; it's about the need to separate ignorant, scientifically illiterate people from the ranks of teachers.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson

“The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths.
It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“Oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch.”
― Jim Parsons

“Current theories on the creation of the Universe state that, if it were created at all and didn't just start, as it were, unofficially, it came to being between ten and twenty thousand million years ago. By the same token the earth itself is generally supposed to be about four and a half thousand million years old.

These dates are incorrect.

Medieval Jewish scholars put the date of the Creation at 3760BC. Greek Orthodox theologians put Creation as far back as 5508BC.

These suggestions are also incorrect.

Archbishop James Usher (1580-1656) published Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti in 1654, which suggested that the Heaven and the Earth were created in 4004BC. One of his aides took the calculation further, and was able to announce triumphantly that the Earth was created on Sunday the 21st of October, 4004BC, at exactly 9.00 a.m., because God liked to get work done early in the morning while he was feeling fresh.

This too was incorrect. By almost a quarter of an hour.

The whole business with the fossilized dinosaur skeletons was a joke the paleontologists haven't seen yet.”
― Terry Pratchett

“I've never really addressed those rumors because I figured, 'Why defend yourself against something that is not offensive'?”
― Johnny Galecki

“Metaphysical speculation is independent of the physical validity of the Big Bang itself and is irrelevant to our understanding of it.”
― Lawrence M. Krauss, A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing

“If everything in the universe evolves toward increasing disorder, it must have started out in an exquisitely ordered arrangement. This whole chain of logic, purporting to explain why you can't turn an omelet into an egg, apparently rests on a deep assumption about the very beginning of the universe. It was in a state of very low entropy, very high order. Why did our part of the universe pass though a period of such low entropy?”
― Sean Carroll, From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time

“Let's not argue about it, let's study it.”
― Leonard

“A beam from the everlasting sun of God.
Rude and unresponsive are the stones;
Yet in them divine things lie concealed;
I hear their imprisoned chant:–
“We are fragments of the universe,
Chips of the rock whereon God laid the foundation of the world:”
― Helen Keller, The Song of the Stone Wall

“GOD. Sometimes I think there might be a god out there, and that every once in a while he tunes in to see what we're up to, and have a good laugh at how we like to dress him up in various costume. Robes, thorny crowns, yarmulkes and curls, saris and butt-hugging yoga pants. Male, female, a genderless reincarnation factory; a Mother Earth or a withholding Father Christmas. I would think it would amuse the hell out of him. That we're all idolaters, worshiping figments of our own creation who bear no resemblance to him.
Maybe he's sitting in some alternate dimension somewhere, saying, 'Shit, I didn't even create the world! I was just cooking my dinner, not paying attention to the heat, and suddenly here was this big band and a few hours later, a bunch of dinosaurs...”
― Suzanne Morrison, Yoga Bitch: One Woman's Quest to Conquer Skepticism, Cynicism, and Cigarettes on the Path to Enlightenment

“The realization that time can behave like another direction of space means one can get rid of the problem of time having a beginning, in a similar way in which we got rid of the edge of the world.

Suppose the beginning of the universe was like the South Pole of the earth, with degrees of latitude playing the role of time.

As one moves north, the circles of constant latitude, representing the size of the universe, would expand. The universe would start as a point at the South Pole, but the South Pole is much like any other point.

To ask what happened before the beginning of the universe would become a meaningless question, because there is nothing south of the South Pole.”
― Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design

“As Nobel laureate physicist Frank Wilczek has put it, "The answer to the ancient question, 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' would then be that 'nothing' is unstable." ... In short, the natural state of affairs is something rather than nothing. An empty universe requires supernatural intervention--not a full one. Only by the constant action of an agent outside the universe, such as God, could a state of nothingness be maintained. The fact that we have something is just what we would expect if there is no God.”

“Stars are born
babies, just like us.
They live their lives,
then die without fuss.”
― Joseph Raphael Becker, Annabelle & Aiden: Worlds Within Us

“The claim that the universe *began* with the big bang has no basis in current physical and cosmological knowledge. The observations confirming the big bang do not rule out the possibility of a prior universe.”
― Victor J. Stenger, God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

“A long time ago,
there was diddly-squat.
Just nothing at all,
except... one tiny dot.”
― Joseph Raphael Becker, Annabelle & Aiden: Worlds Within Us

“The sun god Ra was described as the ba which “came forth from Nun,” the ba “which Nun created.” In these terms, the ba is a potentiality which is actualized. According to these statements, Chaos produced Order. Nun, primordial Chaos, generated the god Ra who then made the ordered cosmos. This is actually extremely similar to science’s version of Big Bang theory. Randomness – primordial Chaos, formlessness or non-existence (non-being) – miraculously produced its opposite: a formed, ordered cosmos. In truth, science hasn’t moved on at all from Egyptian mythology. It has no better explanation for how the cosmos was produced than ancient Egyptian priests spinning mythological webs did.”

“In the beginning, there was nothing. And then BOOM! Universe.”
― Aishabella Sheikh

“Stephen Hawking asks, 'what did God do before he created the Universe?'

Answer: He created Nothing”
― Atom Tate

“The complex order we now observe [in the universe] could *not* have been the result of any initial design built into the universe at the so-called creation. The universe preserves no record of what went on before the big bang. The Creator, if he existed, left no imprint. Thus he might as well have been nonexistent.”
― Victor J. Stenger, God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

“The God of the gaps argument for God fails when a plausible scientific account for a gap in current knowledge can be given. I do not dispute that the exact nature of the origin of the universe remains a gap in scientific knowledge. But I deny that we are bereft of any conceivable way to account for that origin scientifically.”
― Victor J. Stenger, God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

“So put your stubbornness to rest,
Yes, open up your eyes.
No big bang has ever happened,
Was God brought us to life.”
― Kari L. Greenaway, There is a God

“Everyone believes in zero as a number, but we always ignore it when counting. We start at one.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo

― Well Being Reader

“Sure everything is flux but the cause of flux is self not wanting to be by itself and the purpose of self is companionship, friendship and love hence the why of the gospel of love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“First of all; all this is Self. Self itself is. Now. As to the origin of that which Self calls The Universe, The World and Life. The answer is this. The origin of Self is Self desiring not to be by itself. The origin of Self is Self desiring Companionship. The origin of Self is Self desiring Friendship. The origin of Self is Self desiring Love. What it means is that there is nothing to argue about nor that there is anything to fight over for all that is here is Self and the one and only purpose of Self, the meaning of Life, is Companionship, Friendship, Love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“Streams of brown, soapy water ran from him toward the drain. It circled there before falling in. He closed his eyes tightly so that the soap on his head wouldn’t burn them.

“Here’s a little brain exercise for you, Azure: I used to wonder where all the water goes,” said Neela, sitting on a stool outside the tub. “It doesn’t just disappear into nothingness. It needs to go somewhere. But we don’t have normal sewers like the ground districts do. So, what do you think happens to it?”

“I-I d-d-don’t know…”

“There are pipes beneath us we can’t see. Just because we can’t see the pipes doesn’t mean that the pipes aren’t there. They’re there, alright. They have to be. Winding and weaving. We see their effects, otherwise we’d be swimming in filth. Some come from our sinks. Some come from our tubs. Some come from our toilets. But they’re all connected somewhere. All that dirty water is filtered out and treated somewhere. Some giant collection pool.”
― Steven Seril, The Destroyer of Worlds: An Answer to Every Question

“The origins of the natural laws can be traced back to the big bang and the origins of the big bang can be traced back to self not wanting to be by itself.”
― Wald Wassermann

“The premise of the Absolute Anthropic Principle (AAP) is that the origin of everything including but not limited to all life, the world and the universe is Self not wanting to feel by itself and that the purpose of Self and as such the meaning of Life is nothing else but Companionship more commonly known as Love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“All the scientists were upstaged at least 2,500 years earlier by Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other Bible authors. The Bible’s prophets and apostles stated explicitly and repeatedly the two most fundamental properties of the big bang, a transcendent cosmic beginning a finite time ago and a universe undergoing a general expansion.”
― Hugh Ross, The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Greatest Scientific Discoveries of the Century Reveal God

“A teoria do Big Bang é uma teoria que foi criada usando o pensamento dedutivo: a teoria da relatividade de Einstein previa que o universo deveria ser expandir. Hoje, temos formas mais empírica para confirmar a teoria.”
