Words matter. These are the best Big Bang Quotes from famous people such as Robert Lanza, David Crosby, Dwight Schultz, Sean M. Carroll, Daniel Dennett, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
For example, if the big bang had been one-part-in-a billion more powerful, it would have rushed out too fast for the galaxies to form and for life to begin.
Describing Woodstock as the ‘big bang,’ I think that’s a great way to describe it, because the important thing about it wasn’t how many people were there or that it was a lot of truly wonderful music that got played.
They’ve discovered that, where all the other galaxies are moving in one direction, ours is going in another. Now, the Big Bang theory says that we’re all moving outward.
A full understanding of what happens in our everyday lives needs to take into account what happened at the Big Bang. And not only is that intrinsically interesting and just kind of cool to think about, but it’s also a mystery that is not given much attention by working scientists; it’s a little bit underappreciated.
In 50 years – or 20 years, or 200 years – our current epistemic horizon (the Big Bang, roughly) may look as parochial as the horizon Newton had to settle for in his day, but no doubt there will still be good questions whose answers elude us.
Every time we get a story that says there was a Big Bang, then people want to know what was before that. And if we find out, what was before that?
Planet Lucy Press? I incorporated myself to deal with publishing and was calling myself Big Bang Incorporated, which of course has to do with the Big Bang at the beginning of creation.
Clearly, enriching the cosmos with heavy elements takes a while. So there’s inevitably an interval between the sterile aftermath of the Big Bang and a time when the cosmic chemistry set had enough ingredients to make rocky planets (and squishy biology).
I confess I sometimes sneak a peek at ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ I chuckle at their antics. But I cringe when they portray physicists as clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to picking up women.
‘The Big Bang Theory’ has completely changed my life.
I’ve seen children’s eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.
As soon as the idea of the Big Bang was proposed in the 1920s, astronomers set about trying to work out when the bang happened. Initial estimates were, not surprisingly, wildly inaccurate, but by the 1980s it was known that the universe was 15 billion years old, give or take 5 billion years.
Elvis Presley was the big bang. He was the most influential single figure in the history of American pop culture. He changed the way we looked, thought, dressed, held a guitar. He didn’t invent rock & roll, but he defined it in a way that everyone who followed him owes him a debt.
‘Big Bang’ is very tightly scripted. Because we shoot in front of a live audience, it’s basically like doing a filmed piece of theatre, really.
Physicists explain creation by telling us that the universe began with the Big Bang, an intense energy singularity that continued expanding. But who created the singularity?
We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that’s where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it’s instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.
Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang.
I created the Soundcloud big bang; you already know what’s going on.
I’m not a chauvinist. I’m a universalist. I think that God imploded, like a spiritual big bang, to launch the eight civilizations that make up recorded history and the religions in those civilizations.
All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, the Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.
I have a little bit of PTSD when I hear a big bang or a loud noise or keys – I jump out of my skin.
My mom has a very high-pitched voice, and there are some similarities between her and the voice I use on ‘Big Bang,’ although my mom has the Jersey accent, so I took that out. But the tone of the voice is very similar to my mother’s.
Chemistry seems to be pretty much nailed down, and biology gains ground all the time. But physics seems to be mired in idle rumination. They think a Big Bang started the universe, but they don’t really know.
Our minds work in real time, which begins at the Big Bang and will end, if there is a Big Crunch – which seems unlikely, now, from the latest data showing accelerating expansion. Consciousness would come to an end at a singularity.
Some of the hydrogen in your body comes from the Big Bang, and when you see a kid walking down the street with a helium balloon, you can say, ‘There goes some of the primordial universe.’
America’s popular heroes have seldom been its great thinkers, and even less its scientists. The success of TV’s ‘Big Bang Theory,’ which seems to give the lie to this claim, is more the exception that proves the rule.
I had done enough TV stuff before ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ I had done enough to sort of appreciate how awesome everybody is on ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ how nice and cool everybody is.
No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang.
These characters, they have to evolve. They’re getting older on the show, these are things that happen in everyone’s life. People do get married… this is just a natural evolution. I wonder if we’ll have ‘Big Bang’ babies in the season finale?
The scientific issues that engage people most are the truly fundamental ones: is the universe infinite? Is life just a sideshow in the cosmos? What happened before the Big Bang? Everyone is flummoxed by such questions, so there is, in a sense, no gulf between experts and the rest.
If you consider the universe one second after the Big Bang, the expansion rate would have to have been just right to an accuracy of 15 decimal places, or else the universe would really not work.
There was one week where I got mistaken for Hasan Minhaj, who is on ‘The Daily Show;’ Kunal Nayyar, who’s on ‘Big Bang Theory;’ and Karan Soni of ‘Ghostbusters.’ This was one week.
It’s incredible to be going from the Shondaland universe to ‘Big Bang’ creator Chuck Lorre.
Big Bang gave us hydrogen and helium. We couldn’t make people out of hydrogen and helium. So we’re made out of exploding stars.
From Roger Bacon, the 13th century Franciscan who pioneered the scientific method, to George Lemaitre, the 20th century Belgian priest who first developed a mathematical foundation for the ‘Big Bang,’ people of faith have played a key role in advancing scientific understanding.
I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.
I have a lot of respect for Big Bang because they are all very talented.
‘Entourage’ is a great show, but it’s fantasy. I spent my twenties in L.A. in this business, and my life didn’t look anything like that. ‘Big Bang’ reflects a side of men that is rarely shown. We see their flaws – all of them.
We saw a big bang in PCs; we saw a big bang in the Internet. I believe the next big bang is going to be even bigger. To be ready for that, we need to set the foundation, and that foundation is SoftBank Vision Fund.
The term ‘steampunk’ itself, now a badge of honor, began as a putdown, a joke. But like ‘Big Bang’ in cosmology, the diss became the standard.
With all of our big-hit shows – like ‘Big Bang Theory,’ and even ‘How I Met Your Mother’ – when they first started, you have multiple characters to service, and you want to make sure that the audience has a chance to get the concept, get the emotional arc, and really engage with the relationships.
When I was younger, Big Bang didn’t go on many variety programs, so we used to try and plan many fun events for our concert, like drama parodies, which Korean fans enjoyed.
When we first started ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ I would get incredibly nervous because it’s such a big show and I was just out of graduate school. I’d come in and have this huge responsibility for the one line that everyone hopes will bring down the house.
Physicists are working on the Big Bang, and one day they may or may not solve it.
To figure out what people think, look at the stories that they tell. We might never get away from the image of Sheldon from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ breaking down in the middle of the store, not knowing which console to buy, but we can see in TV and movies how regular characters are more and more starting to play games.
