The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Right.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

There's some hot, dense state 13.8 billion years ago, unexplained.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

I'm singing the theme now to Big Bang Theory.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Okay.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

That the universe then expanded and became more dilute, less dense.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Right.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

So the Big Bang is about density.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Now, if the universe is infinite today, and we don't know, but let's say that it is, then it was infinite then.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Because you can't go from a finite universe to an infinite universe.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Right.

So that means if we start with an infinite universe that's big and not very dense, and we rewind the clock to an infinite universe that's dense, it's an infinite universe filled with infinite matter.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

It's an infinite Big Bang.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

The Big Bang was everywhere.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

It was not an explosion of a point out into empty space.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

There was no empty space.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

It's just all the space is already filled with stuff.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

Now, people listening are going to be like, okay, but where did that stuff come from, right?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

You can't just say we don't know.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

And we're not just saying we don't know.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
Basement: Daniel Whiteson | CERN, Dark Matter, and the Aliens Next Door

We're saying the Big Bang doesn't explain that.
