"Big Bang
Theory that suggests that about 15 billion years ago all of the matter and energy in the Universe was concentrated into an area smaller than a atom. At this instant, matter, energy, space and time did not exist. Then suddenly, the Universe began to expand at an incredible rate and matter, energy, space and time came into being. As the Universe expanded, matter began to coalesce into gas clouds, and then stars and planets. Some scientists believe that this expansion is finite and will one day cease. After this point in time, the Universe will begin to collapse until a Big Crunch occurs."
First question: Could something physical (a thing smaller than an atom) fit into nothing (no space)?
