Science has come to a point in which one started questioning things more than ever. I do not know of any time in history where science had caused so many philosophical questions arise. "How did I get here?" , "Why am I here","What will happen after I die". Well , science has always been pretty good at answering "How" and "What" questions and it certainly has never liked "Why" questions and always seemed to dismiss them. Because scientifical theories are constructed to "explain" the way things happen in the best and most accurate way possible. For example, Newton's theory of gravity is good enough to explain the "macroscopic" events around us , however , it fails at the "quantum" level where "general relativity" lends a helping hand.
Big Bang is probably where science fails at a lot of questions. Frankly, "Big Bang Theory" tells almost nothing about the "Big Bang" itself. For a start, it doesn't say "what" banged, "how" it banged and "why" it banged. It is only concerned with how the universe came to being "after" 10^-37 seconds from the very moment Big Bang happens. From this point backwards, science & physics fail. What I mean by "failling" doesn't mean that they need improvements, they "utterly" fail. Because for years scientists accepted that time started at the very moment of Big Bang, and there was an "absolute nothing" before that. That is why all the equations etc go to infinity and blow up at the moment of Big Bang.
With the discoveries of spring theory, 11th dimension and finally M-theory, scientists now strongly believe that Big Bang is not a beginning. Actually, with the new way of thinking, it is absolutely nothing. They claim that our universe is actually not alone and is floating in the "multiverse" in the 11th dimension along with the other "infinite number" of universes. A big bang is nothing more than a collision of two universes, which, they believe ,happens very frequently. That way, they are able to explain the moment Big Bang happens, because it is not a "singularity" any more but rather it is one of the infinitesimal "instants" in the multiverse history.
This may seem like sci-fi , but as long as it is not "falsified" and it is enough to explain the history of the universe, it will definitely keep on being taken seriously. Actually there are extensive research projects now to find out any proof in our universe about the collisons with other universes . From a sci-fi point of view, it raises a lot of questions:
1. Is it possible to travel between different universes?
2.If there are infinite number of universes in the multiverse, are there infinite number of civilizations since the beginning of the multiverse( if that makes any sense)?
3.How advanced are they(other civilizations) in technology? Why could they not find the way to travel between universes? Is it impossible?
4. Can our universe collapse in a matter of seconds due to a severe collision with another universe? (As some scientists argue that our universe is actually colliding with others even now)
5.What caused the multiverse to emerge? How did the first universe came to being?
It might quite be true that we are only some "things" with some complex electrical signals going through our nervous systems and being interpret by our brains, living in a "planet" located in a universe,which is merely one of the infinite number of universes floating in the multiverse, whose size our brains cannot perceive. Humiliating for the human beings? I think so. Crazy? Well, like Bohr said, is it crazy enough to be true?
