Scientists might be on track to revealing new facets of physics.

Research shows that there is something cool about the Big Bang.

"Theorists and experimentalists have speculated nanohertz gravitational waves originated from a known transition that happened very soon after the Big Bang — a change that generated the masses of all the known fundamental particles," Andrew Fowlie, an assistant professor at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, said in a statement. "However, our work uncovers serious problems with that otherwise appealing origin."

Some scientists think that the first life in the universe could have formed in seconds after the Big Bang.

Many evolution believing scientists believe a "first-order phase transition occurred at the very beginning of time, triggering the launch of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. Those waves, experts think, could therefore be used to determine conditions present during the first epoch of rapid inflation in our universe, or maybe even the conditions present before the Big Bang”.

Big Bang has many problems, such as this one. Only God can create universe.
