Erm about the question of where did the matter used for the big bang, it is almost like asking "what happened before the big bang?" which is also difficult to answer at the current progress of our technology advancement.
It's not so much where the matter came from, but the energy. Matter can emerge in the form of matched particle/antiparticle pairs from regions of space with energy equivalent to the masses of the particles plus enough energy to drive them apart indefinitely against their mutual electrical attraction.
So, whence came the energy? That's an interesting question. If the Universe is at thermal equilibrium on average, then its total energy is zero.
This may be a odd question ,but if you accept that time is infinite both forwards and back. Then how is it not possible that mass can be infinitely small. Now of course there is the atom but what makes up those smaller subatomic particles. I am in 11th grade and I asked my Chemistry teacher about that , but he just told me something I already new. That electron are composed of negitive material and protons positive, but what does that really mean?
well , if you accept by mass that it have shape then it can't be infinite ( that means that it doesn't have shape) while when we say "time is infinite" we don't refer to an object but to a concept which mathematicians claim to exist rather than being just a simple tool extended by our mental function of perceiving what we name "time".
what do you suppose was before the big bang?, or do you believe that there is something bigger out there that could have produced the big bang out of nowhere?
Do you think that there is any knowledge too dangerous for public humankind, at its current level of development, to know, and, if so, how could anything discovery be kept secret when scientists seem to have lost the alchemical era's ability to keep anything quiet or hold back deadly "wisdom", from a perhaps-naive idealism about the spread of knowledge being inherently "good"?
The only danger is in hoarding information. Trying to protect humanity is a waste of time as the life maintaining functions are dictated by sub processes inherent in the make up of reality. And surely the planet, if we detonated all 30k+ nukes we'd most likely all be killed but the planet would be fine. The only other information out there pertains to free energy and the history of man, and in light of a nuclear holocaust the ramifications of such disclosures would be benign.
How can we do it? All the video responses are from "AskJohnMather" account... What should we do? Can't we post a video response with the question from our own YouTube account? Please answer me soon, my friends and I are really too excited.
To the upper-right, between the text comments and the video player, there's a link that says "Post a Video Response". Click it and it'll take you to another page that will walk you through it.
Hi there, yes you can post your video response from your own YouTube account. We look forward to your question! Look at the John Mather video and scoll below to record your video response.
Great idea! It's really nice to see that at least somebody is trying to bring real science closer to the general public. But as always you can expect a big number of questions which are easily answered by grade 8 physics, simply asked from lazy people who don't know anything about real-world science projects.
I also have a question regarding the Big Bang theory and would be happy to get an answer to it. If someone would answer here in textual form, or as an clip on youtube, i would text one soon

Thank you for your response and we really encourage you to take the opportunity to post a video question to John Mather about the Big Bang theory.
