Awaken the Living Awareness Within Glossary
The “Big Bang” is a name given to a theory that has become the prevailing cosmological model for the observable universe. According to this theory, there was a primordial explosion, an enormous bang billions of years ago which brought our universe into existence. See also closely related term
Materialism.
In a nutshell, the underlying notion of this theory is that in the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing, and then this nothing magically exploded for no apparent reason creating everything, and then a bunch of everything mysteriously rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits which then turned into living beings.

Quantum Quote of the Day from the Book: Awaken the Living Awareness Within, in the section Quantum:
In modern physics, we are constantly trying to objectify the world, but interestingly, again and again, we find that all things exist in relationships. Therefore, we should begin to see the world as an integrated whole, rather than a dissociated collection of separated parts. The biggest mistake that we as the collective human species have ever made in our hubris, is most definitely the repetitive ignorance over this undeniable truth of the Interconnectedness of Everything. Granted, on a mental intellectual level, we may understand the concept, but on the deeper — more meaningful level, not so much. So what can be done about this? Well, we can start by learning other ways and perspectives. You see, we can learn tremendously from the ancient wisdom traditions; there is much we can learn from the Eastern view. One such example is a Buddhist view of relativity: according to this view, everything is bound together in a network of interdependencies — everything is, therefore — connected, conditioned, relative and interdependent.
