Closest way to create the big bang in simulation?
For someone completely unversed in astronomy, I am wondering what's the closest way to do this in the sandbox. Does anyone know what would be the closest way to simulate the big bang in this simulation.

Considering the big bang theory is essentially everything in the universe pulled into a single spot, the only way to do that is to attract everything to a specific area. There's no easy way to do that, at least I don't believe so.

We don't even understand physics enough to fully understand the big bang, let alone simulate it on your home computer. (Google "theory of everything" or "grand unifyied theory" for more about that.)

Also, a common misconception is that the big bang was an "explosion" of matter that flew away from a central point in space, when it is actually a stretching of space itself. This simulator doesn't even touch on bending/warping/stretching of space. I'm sure you could make an explosion of stuff flying away from a central point, but that wouldn't actually have much in common with the big bang.

to mdo this,pause the simulation and add millions of planets,stars and rings,start up simulation,and you have yourself da BIG BANG theory.

The Big Bang will be your computer going BOOM trying to handle all the calculations required. Someone call the firefighters! :steamhappy:

And then it will be light!! :2016roasted::2016roasted:

That would probably crash the computer, unless your using some kind of supercomputer or something like that, heh.

when you want the Big Bang, try to turn all rules of the universe off in the simulator such as gravity, heat, light than create a blackhole and apply infinite to it

That's probably how it happened
