The Big Bang Might Not Be A Theory About How Our Universe Formed

The Big Bang Might Not Be A Theory About the Formation of Our Universe - A representation of the 13,77 billion years of evolution of the Universe. On the far left is shown the earliest moment we can now examine, when a period of inflation created an explosion of exponential growth in the universe. (Size is represented by the vertical width of the grid in this graph.) Over the next few billion years, the expansion of the universe gradually slowed as matter in the universe was pulled onto itself by gravity. More recently, the expansion has begun to accelerate again as the repulsive effects of dark energy began to dominate the expansion of the universe. The afterglow light seen by WMAP emitted about 375.000 years after inflation and has traversed the universe largely unhindered since then.
