The Big Bang was not big, it was sub-nuclear. Nor was it a 'bang' seeing as the laws of physics that govern sound were not yet conceived let alone birthed. In spite of the tremendous scientific rigor dedicated to understanding an event that has found its way to becoming our creation-myth of choice in the West, the decidedly unscientific term 'bang' seems to elegantly indicate that the formation of the fundamental building blocks of all matter (and anti-matter) in the universe was incredibly simple, incredibly small, and surprisingly silent. Within those near-impossible fractions of nano-seconds when the untamed pre-physical 'everything' still leapt free, ecstatic silence searched for a noise to give its enormous energy a voice.
