Was the Big Bang Truly the Start of Everything? | Michio Kaku.

There is a misconception that the Big Bang represents the absolute zero-point of time and space. However, modern cosmology tells a different story. The "Bang" wasn't the beginning; it was a transition.

To understand this, we must trace the evolution of scientific thought—from Isaac Newton to the undeniable evidence of an expanding universe found by Edwin Hubble. While the traditional Big Bang theory explained much, it failed to answer three critical questions: why the universe is so smooth (The Horizon Problem), why it is geometrically flat (The Flatness Problem), and why we don't see magnetic monopoles (The Monopole Problem).

These mysteries remained unsolved until Alan Guth proposed Cosmic Inflation. This theory suggests that before the "Bang," the universe underwent a period of exponential expansion. The Big Bang was merely the moment that inflation stopped and dumped its energy into the particles we see today. This shift in perspective not only solves the old paradoxes but opens the door to the staggering possibility of an infinite multiverse.
