If the Big Bang Created Everything ... What Caused the Big Bang? | Science for Sleep

If the Big Bang Created Everything ... What Caused the Big Bang? | Science for Sleep What if the Big Bang created everything—so what could have caused it? In this Science for Sleep documentary, we gently unpack why that question is tricky: in standard cosmology, the Big Bang isn’t an explosion in space but the beginning of the space-time we can describe. When our equations are traced back to the Planck epoch, they blur; “before” and “cause” may not mean what they usually do. At a soft, steady pace, we explain what the Big Bang model does account for—universal expansion, the glow of the cosmic microwave background, and the mix of light elements—without hurry or hype. Then we explore careful possibilities that physicists consider for what could underlie that beginning. You’ll hear about inflation ending in a hot Big Bang, quantum tunneling from a “false vacuum,” and ideas where there wasn’t a first instant: quantum bounce and cyclic/ekpyrotic scenarios, the no-boundary proposal, conformal cyclic cosmology, and the thought that space and time might be emergent from deeper quantum rules. We’ll keep speculation clearly labeled, touch on what evidence would help (CMB patterns, primordial gravitational waves, element abundances), and show why some models are favored while others remain beautiful guesses. Dim the lights, breathe, and let the biggest question unfold without hurry—science, spoken softly. Whether you’re here to fall asleep, unwind, or simply enjoy quiet wonder, this peaceful space documentary guides you through what we know, what we don’t, and how we keep asking. 👍 Click LIKE if you enjoyed the video! ✅ Click SHARE and send this to someone you know! 🔔 SUBSCRIBE    / @silentscience1   #scienceforsleep #science #sleepdocumentary
