BIG BANG THEORY

Nov. 14, 2019

A research published in the journal Science has explained how the Big Bang took place around 13.8 billion years ago, which led to the beginning of Universe.

About:

  • The Big Bang theory states that all matter that exists today in the universe sprung forth from a single point in an epic explosion.

  • Now the researchers have defined the critical criteria where they can drive a flame to self-generate its own turbulence, spontaneously accelerate and transition into detonation.

  • The key is applying the right amount of turbulence and mixing to an unconfined flame until it becomes self-perpetuating, at which point the flame begins to burn the ingested energy leading to a hypersonic -- exceeding the speed of sound -- supernova explosion.

  • The team uncovered the criteria for creating a Big Bang-type explosion while exploring methods for hypersonic jet propulsion. The finding may have applications in faster air and space travel, and improved power generation.
