So as i understand the "Big Bang", everything/nothing was so compressed into something so small, the pressure had to be released... thus a "really big bang".. a question... how does everything/nothing get so compressed?...
if there is nothing, how can anything exist?..ok... been thinking awhile on this... how would the universe "get" nothing ?

Well, it depends on what particular theory of creation you look at. I think there's one called the "Big Bounce", meaning the big bang is a cyclic thing, our Universe will expand out to a certain point but eventually collapse back in on it's self. This implosion would create like a singularity that contains the mass of the entire Universe, and it would explode again, creating the next big bang.

Well how can the universe get something? Where did all this stuff come from? Is it rational to assume "it just was" always here? I think it'd be more rational if there was just nothing at all. But I do have a theory. We aren't really "real" per se. What I mean is, we are projections of virtual/borrowed energy. When you stretch a rubber band you create potential energy. In a neutral position the rubber band has no energy, nothing. I believe the fabric of reality naturally fluctuates and thus potential/virtual/holographic energy will manifest. You might say, we exist, but don't exist at the same time. The sum total of all energy in the Universe is 0.
PS - i'm using the term Universe very loosely here in most cases.

Not sure there is only 1 universe, but it seems to me there would eventually only be 1, then none then "bang"... what sort of "barrier" would seperate universes?.. i would think a (if possible) universal black hole would "devour" everything.. including time, space and everything that has mass or energy...
who projected us? , but more important how did the projectionist get here(before nothing?), wherever here is??? ... please help my 2 brain cells understand a little more...
