Problems i have with this theory. What exploded if there was nothing?
There are trillions of planets in our solar system. There are trillions of solar systems.
If there was nothing, then a big bang, where did all this matter come from?
It wasn't nothing. It was like all of the matter and energy of the universe was concentrated into an infinitely small point. The energy density was so high even protons, neutron and electrons couldn't exist. As the point very very quickly expanded and cooled, the mass and energy was able to form subatomic particle and then atoms.
If that isn't weird enough, there are alternate theories that are even harder to relate to out real world.
I apologize that I am not up on the subject. I followed it maybe 20 years ago (I was a T.O.E. geek). The area that interested me was the uncoupling of the four fundemental forces on the time line, and more importantly, on the Energy/Temperature scale. If that theory is no longer valid, yep, I am really not with it.
I think the time it took to be heard would be highly dependent on where your location was in the universe. My brother in law was a staff physicist at NIST who before he retired, was measuring light waves from the farthest point in our universe that are now just reaching earth. We all know that light waves travel much faster than sound waves, so there are more than likely some parts of the universe still haven't heard it.
You may know more better than me, but if you are in a parallel universe, isn't it impossible to interact or observe a second parallel universe with no points of intersection with your universe?
I went digging for peer reviewed articles on alternates to the Big Bang Theory, but came up near empty handed. As far as whats right, not a clue.
The BB Theory has several unexplained problems. The alternates do as well.
Be skeptical when you see "debunking" articles, especially if the author is in the business of publishing books, instead of peer reviewed articles.
Wait! Send back a robot?
Send him to where?
There was no where.
And if you aren't a part of the singularity, your aren't... at all.
And if you could send back a robot, that could hear this thing 380,000 years after it happened, would that robot have become one of those pressure variations? For all we know, sending back the robot might have changed the pattern in how matter lumped together in the universe. That damned robot might prevent our sun from ever forming, or have caused venus and the Earth to collide. Our planet, had life evolved would had been in a different orbit and may have never been hit by the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Then everyone would look like @Gorn
This is why the sim masters won't allow time travel, we might go back to a time when their technology was hackable by us and we'd become the sim masters.
Whatever! No good can come because of robots.

Doesn't string or membrane theories suggest a way to create a universe without a traditional big bang?
Or I may be talking completely out of my butt....
There are two flavors of the parallel universe thought line. If you follow the multiverse approach, yes you can do that but there is not a shred of evidence to support the multiverse approach except wishful thinking and Schrodingers GedankPhysik. If you follow the multiple quantum states approach,you are not able to observe parallel universes directly although there is speculation that information can be inferred.
Topic is out of my league.
That would be a big boom.
The guy in the video was talking string theory.
Guitar strings.
I would never join any barrier that would have me as a membrane.
