How loud was the Big Bang?

#41
There were no laws of physics prior to the BB. The ratio of baryons to antibaryons left following a few millionths of a second after the event established the laws and fundemental physical constants of the universe.

There was also no time prior to the BB.

The first Chapter of the Gospel of John holds deep meaning for some that study this area of science.

There is no "right by" the singularity. You are either in the singularity or you don't exist. It's not like the singularity expanded into empty space; the space itself did not exist.

I didn't make myself clear, I am in a pre-existing parallel universe observing the creation of the new universe through the eyes of a cat in a pan-dimensional box that exists throughout Hilbert space. All things are possible until someone opens the box...

Actually, I've watched quite a few documentaries on this subject (you might consider me an expert on the subject of physics at this point), and I can assure you that it was actually within the first 10 millionths of a second.. It is commonly believed to have happened as quick as 100 billionths of a second, but new evidence is actually starting to show quite the opposite. A rather slow expansion, nearly visible to the naked eye, though still not quite.

If it happened anywhere near one of these locals casinos in Nevada, the pit boss made it turn down to no more than 80db.

Ha!

We dealt with that at a venue we played regularly (on strip). I'm sure the noise complaints came because of the DJ's (they don't have a Soundman controlling them - plus they wanna get the partee hype!) but everyone is punished - sound guy would walk around during beginning of show with decimal meter.
It killed live music there - where we had almost always drawn a nice crowd in, people all of a sudden would just walk by. They'd be unaware there was a live band because our volume was the same as the "elevator music" pumped in during other times, and we were played throughout the venues house/ ceiling speakers. Not enough volume or directional sound from the stage to grab their attention away from conversation, and if they saw us, why would they want to party when they could barely hear us?
80db is ridiculous for a live rock band...even if it is just in a bar / Lounge.

** End rant - apologize for going OT **


*And my 2cent on-topic contribution*

Sooo.... if someone could've been there, AND the atmosphere could've existed in some manner to allow transmission of sound waves, AND etc, etc, would it be comparable to the brown note to the 10th power or beyond? Where it may not be audible, but would probably shake your atoms apart or some other slightly milder but still horrific effect?
Probably a bit worse than a lil poop.

We hear sound as pressure variations in a gas. It was about 380,000 years after the big bang before the first atoms of Hydrogen formed, so, it'd be tough to hear anything before then. Of course, it'd be Billions of years before a decent planet formed where you could make a sound level meter and measure how loud something was.
