Bang. According to this theory, the University was formed from an immense explosion 13 billion years ago. Before the Big Bang, everything in the University was packed into a tiny area, smaller than the nucleus of an atom. This point was called a singularity and was incredibly hot. It was released in an explosion so powerful that all of the matter in the singularity was blasted into an area larger than a galaxy in less than a fraction of second. There is a ,very strong evidence to support the theory of Big Bang. The strongest ‘proof’ is a weak signal that has been detected in space. This is thought to be an echo from the energy released by the force of the Big Bang.
