The concept of the Big Bang, initially proposed by a Jesuit priest, faced skepticism from the physics community, who viewed it as too religious. Over time, the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation provided solid evidence for this theory, leading to its acceptance as a robust explanation for the universe's structure and elemental abundance. The Big Bang marks the beginning of everything, originating from a singularity approximately 13.8 billion years ago, yet the mystery of what preceded it remains unsolved.
