There is no stuff that blew up. There is no stuff before the Big Bang. The Big Bang created stuff. Nobody knows how or why the Big bang came to be. Right now, it just is.
I trained in Psvchology so I understand little about how physicists explain where the world around us comes from. I think that we will only scratch the surface of solving where the universe comes from. We gather data now about events that occurred an infinitely long time ago. The thing with infinity is if you decide X is infinity you can always add 1. So if we say the big bang moment was thw first moment of time we can always ask what happened at the big bang moment minus one second. Leonard is confused.
If you really want to find out more where the stuff for the big bang came from, maybe you could do your own research into the matter.
Big Bang theorists! Is it a theory or an hypothesis?
-Not a hypothesis..as it is not an expirement -There is no such thing as nothing..technically (go to "How old is universe thread in WEPR...MGW has an image gif on there explaining what nothing happens to be)..so "re-Bing Bang" there was something, but it was nothing (which happens to be something)...following? -Quantum Fluctuations
I dunno. I have to say there is some doubt as to the accuracy of the Big Bang theory. After all, (like pang said) there was nothing, then out of nothing came something, and the something was still nothing, since there was nothing in the first place.

Question is, is it really correct to assume infinity automatically, both in time and space? I don't think we have an answer to that yet, so we shouldn't assume too much.

What he meant (you really should go read in the thread he mentioned) is that there is no true 'nothing'. Quantum fluctuations and stuff, ya know. Go read it there, it's better explained.
