How many Big Bangs have there been in our Universe, before ours?

Question

I believe Big Bangs occur at regular intervals. Pity there is no trace of what came before us!

Answer 1

The theory you are thinking of  is that big bangs keep onoccurring our universe expans then  colapses then mixes up like shuffling cards then bang starts expanding again no one knows for sure however if this theory is correct its been going on infinite meaning there was no beginning and they ll be no end all remnits would be eraced every time it colapsed and another big bang occured

Answer 2

It is really impossible to say how many big bangs have occurred.  Each one marks the beginning of the universe and all evidence of a previous big bang is destroyed.  It is not even an accepted theory simply because there would be no point in proving this.

Answer 3

*laughing*

There was only 1 Big Bang!

Answer 4

Since the big bang is supposed to have created our Universe, there couldn't have been any before ours, right?

Answer 5

The big bang IS the universe at time=0. It is not an event inside the universe. Thus, there has been zero big bangs in the universe.

Answer 6

Nobody can answer this. Yet. Because we dont know what was before the bigbang.

I doubt that its happened over and over again. Reason being, the universe is exspanding at a increasing rate, and theres not enough matter(gravity) to pull the exspansion back.

Answer 7

The idea of the oscillating universe is attractive.  It makes the universe eternal and you don't have to worry about the seemingly supernatural  sudden creation of the universe.  The sudden appearance of the universe from nothing is really annoying to me.  Being an agnostic I cannot even blame it on a god.  That would be so easy.  If it were the work of a deity, he/she should have done a better job. If it was the rather shoddy work of a god and if I was present at the creation, I could have offered some useful hints for the better ordering of the universe.  With the  oscillating universe theory, The big bang simply becomes part of an eternal cycle.  But there is no evidence for it.  I doubt if there COULD be evidence.  

And pardon me for borrowing liberally from Alphonso the Wise.

Answer 8

I assume infinite.  

Answer 9

42

Answer 10

THERE HAVE BEEN EXACTLY 13.57?

Answer 11

We don't know think of it this way the universe expands and collapses again and again becoming short spaces of time each time it happens but there is no way of knowing for sure this could be the first or could be the last. But I dought it would be the last the time in that is way to short for how long this one has lasted.

Answer 12

if i understand the big bang theory there were none. the big bang leads to entrophy, so there can only be one.
