| Jun 18, 2018 at 22:37 | comment | added | user4552 | Am I right in understanding that current theory states that Big Bang originated from a single point of singularity? The big bang singularity was not a point. In general relativity, a singularity behaves like a part of spacetime that is missing (like a hole in a piece of fabric), whereas a point would be part of spacetime. Because our system of measurement breaks down as we approach a singularity, we can't define whether a singularity has a certain size, or even how many dimensions it has. If so, would this mean that this was a uniform point? What would it mean for a point to be uniform? | |
