basically totally wrong, but widely described that way.
Of course.
It's wrong because the Big Bang doesn't claim to explain the origins of the universe.
It's not the beginning of time.
It says, look, we understand from this point forward how the universe expanded and cooled.
Before that, big question mark, we don't know.
That's part of speculative.
And there are lots of theories there we can dig into.
But that part we don't know.
So everything from Planck scale forward is the Big Bang.
Before that, question mark.
So we don't know how the universe began.
The Big Bang does not claim how the universe began.
It's agnostic on that question.
And the other thing people don't understand is there was never a point in empty space.
The Big Bang was everywhere.
The whole universe was always filled with stuff.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
The whole universe was all, the universe was there, and I have to put there in quotes, before the Big Bang?
So we don't know where all the stuff came from.
