How big is the big bang?

In: Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Cosmology [Edit categories]

Answer:

Now How Would We Know EXACTLY How Big It Is And/Or Was?! We Aren't That Clever You Know! ¬¬ Go Ask Alister...

The big bang is still happening today, as the universe is still expanding. So the answer to this question depends on the timeframe. The big bang is as big as the universe is today. Before the big bang when all matter was contained in a singularity it was no bigger than a few microns across. Five minutes after the big bang the entire universe was the size of a golf ball. This might not seem big after five minutes, but to go from the size of a few microns to a golf ball is like going from New York to Pluto in 5 minutes.
