Funnel Diagram of the Big Bang: Why Scientists Use It
Not a Shape, But a Timeline The familiar funnel-shaped diagram used to illustrate the Big Bang is not meant to imply that the universe itself is cone-like. In science communication, the funnel is a timeline. It shows how the universe has grown, slowed, and then accelerated its expansion over 13.8 billion years. The narrow tip…

Why Scientists Use a Funnel to Illustrate the Big Bang
Not a Shape: The Funnel as a Timeline When scientists depict the Big Bang with a funnel, they aren’t claiming the universe looks like a cone. The funnel is a tool to visualize a timeline, showing how the cosmos has stretched, cooled, and accelerated across 13.8 billion years. The narrow end marks the universe’s earliest…

New Physics Model Challenges Traditional Big Bang Theory
Introduction The origins of the universe have perplexed scientists for centuries, with the Big Bang theory long serving as the dominant explanation. However, a groundbreaking study recently published in Physical Review Research proposes a novel perspective that challenges traditional views. Researchers from Spain and Italy have introduced a model suggesting that gravitational waves played a…
