A Bang of Revelation 大爆炸启示录

Ok. What I am going to say is going to make you reel—with a certain shock.That is, if you haven’t known that our universe used to be just one tiny dot!



Yes, it is.

Our large, humongous universe used to be the size of a dot! How can this be, you may ask? I mean, how can we all live in one tiny dot? That just sounds like a tall tale, like something out of a science fiction. Whether if you want to believe or not, it’s real!

At least, billions and billions of years ago.Yup, that’s right.

Got a ‘bang’ of surprise?

The big bang theory assumes that our universe expanded 10 to 20 billion years ago from just a tiny dot. That tiny dot is actually a condensed form of matter, which exploded and slowly expanded…..


…to what we have today—a big, BIG universe!


When the explosion happened, matters move rapidly outwards, causing the universe to expand. Even right now, the universe is expanding.It took 20 billion years for our universe to be this size it is today!



If only we can just simply create our own new Utopian world, with just one tiny dot from scratch.


请注意听了,我接下来要说的事,将会令你感到很大的震撼。你知道吗?我们的宇宙曾经只不过是个微小的点!

是的,这千真万确。

我们巨大无比的宇宙只有斑点般的大小!你或许会觉得这怎么可能啊?我的意思是,我们如何生活在这样一个微小的点上呢?这简直就是天方夜谭的事,像科幻小说想像出来的情节般。不论你相信与否,它确实是真的!

至少,在数百亿年前,我们的宇宙的确是如此。

是否很震惊呢?

根据大爆炸理论,我们的宇宙在100至200亿年前从一个小点扩大膨胀到现在巨大的状态。科学家认为,这微小的点实际上是一个引力奇点,即“大爆炸”的起始点,一经爆炸后,就慢慢扩大……

直到今天,就形成了一个非常巨大的宇宙!

当大爆炸发生时,这一引力奇点迅速向外膨胀,造成宇宙不断扩大。即使是现在,宇宙仍然持续变大。我们的宇宙经过了两百亿年后才形成现今的模样!

但愿我们也可从一个小点,就能轻易地创造属于自己的新乌托邦世界。
