The Big Bang “Infinitely Regressive?” – General Relativistic Approach

An Overview : Omitting out the details at TIME ZERO
You and I are one with the universe. No, this isn’t a dialogue ripped off a movie (nonetheless it could be one). It’s is in the sense that our basic building blocks were all created at the same instant of time arriving from the singular entity we call the “Singularity”. And This thing supposedly Banged ! Big Time !  Scales of which are unfathomable in human vision or senses though that shouldn’t stop you from giving it a view in your mind’s eye.
The Familiar Big Bang Theory ! At first look you’d say yeah this is reasoning enough for the beginning. But we shall probe further.

Far from answering the truth about the origin of the universe, this theory actually leaves us asking more questions than it originally answers and betrays the fundamental principles of science built on the pillars of Causality which is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first. The arrow of time starts off form this point in Cosmic Evolution but it says nothing about the time ZERO essentially. It gives no info however on what brought the bang into existence, what exactly banged ?, how it banged ?, why It banged ?, where it banged ?. In essence the big bang leaves out the Bang in Itself and the “space” within which it banged because before the bang there was no space. Also arises the question of Energy Conservation (total amount of mass and energy at point in time is same and is conserved  at any other point in time), if there was nothing before the big bang where did all the mass(leaving aside dark matter and energy for the time being ) we see come from? We shall try to find answers nevertheless.
Also if given a though as to why should the big bang , bang at all? If gravity is an attractive force why should it project things outward in violation to its nature?  You’re left with a question physicists are trying to answer logically with a heavy set of equations, within the framework of STRING theory currently constructing great strides in. Even then at one point or another such an explanation of an origin goes beyond logic of the human mind. It leads to an “INFINITE REGRESSION”. We’ll first see to that and how.

Let’s assume that the universe did actually come into existence through the Big Bang or from any of the other theory for that matter like the Inflationary Universe theories , Cyclic universe theory, Brane Collision theory etc,.  Large Proportions of progress has been made in these fields with sufficient theoretical addition and contributions to the original Big Bang. But then again a very fundamental problem still remains.
The Problem is an unassuming one, that if the Big Bang brought the universe into existence what brought the big bang into existence? It’s a million dollar question. (and I don’t have a donate gadget installed) . So we’ll also assume that an Indefinite unidentified force beyond human perception brought the Big Bang into existence during the pre-Big Bang for the sake of an explanation, through cause and effect relationship . The statements being that every cause has an effect  and does not happen spontaneously.  Then there arises the problem as to what brought that Indefinite unidentified force into existence. Now this leads to a question again as to what brought that last force into existence and so on and so forth . This query leading to a series of questions that don’t seem to give the answer but toughen the case further .  Till we are left with an infinite series of questions, each questioning the last one leading us to an Infinite regression. Thus leading us conclude to a point that . OK fine enough !  let’s just say that at one point SOMETHING created ITSELF which created the universe. As for us infinities don’t make sense (may be because we lack the senses to). So then lets assume big bang itself made itself out of thin air (Pardon the expression), replacing this Indefinite unidentified force’s need . But you’d say something creating itself doesn’t make sense either because we don’t see it happening within our space and time, violating CAUSALITY and ENERGY CONSERVATION.
But then again plainly at time ZERO, the big bang lies outside the framework and domain of homogeneous SPACE and TIME because it hasn’t been created by the Big Bang yet. This could exclude Big Bang from all the CONSERVATION LAWS in itself.
 
In a more elaborate and definite way ,in Noether's theorem Conservation laws are defined by the homogeneity of time. And homogeneity of time is violated during the singularity.  Here comes, General Relativity which Is a theory that defines Gravity in the Geometrical framework Of SPACE-TIME (4 dimension , 3 space and 1 time) . In which the curvature of SPACE-TIME is directly related to the four-momentum (mass-energy and linear momentum) of whatever matter and radiation are present .  It has been clearly established through over 40 years of confirmed experiments.  It simply states that the larger the Energy Density in a volume the larger the curvature of SPACE-TIME within and surrounding that volume. Fact known that the singularity had unbounded Energy density. Therefore Time and space at the singularity were profoundly warped and distorted in extremities . Hence the definition in Noether’s theorem is clearly violated and thereby, Giving the singularity freedom of choice to be created and further create whatever it wants from  a range of possibilities with various probabilities arising from nothing. The explanation for how this happens is as given in the Next post.
