• Question: The Big Bang Theory proposes that everything in the Universe started from something called singularity which is smaller than an atom. How can you stuff everything in the universe in that? It's hard enough to stuff four suitcases in the trunk of your car!

      Hi Angie,

      Very good point! The Big Bang theory also includes a time of ‘inflation’ almost immediately after the Big Bang, where everything grew dramatically. Perhaps this is how stuff got bigger, to the size scales we see today?
