There was more than one big bang: sensational version of the origin of the universe is announced
The universe hides many mysteries, one of the most important and still unsolved concerns the Big Bang. Recently, scientists have voiced a sensational version of the origin of the world - there may have been more than one big bang.
According to the new theory, when our Universe was less than one month old, the so-called Dark Big Bang occurred. Details and scientific substantiation of the hypothesis told the publication Science alert.
The second Big Bang, according to scientists, flooded the universe with pieces of dark matter. Less than 20 minutes after the first explosion, the particles began to combine to form the first protons and neutrons, a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
It is nucleosynthesis that forms the basis of the modern understanding of cosmology. However, the emergence of dark matter, which occupies the vast majority of mass in the cosmos, is still incomprehensible.
Scientists have voiced a theory of dark matter evolution, according to which it could have evolved along a separate trajectory. During the expansion and cooling of the Universe, there was a transformation of an additional quantum field. This, in turn, entailed the formation of dark matter.

In simple words: dark matter began to evolve separately. That is, two approaches to the study of Big Bang nucleosynthesis appeared. Scientists actually stated that dark matter followed a separate evolutionary path and two explosions occurred at the creation of the Universe, but with a difference of less than one month.
After the Dark Bang, unique signatures of strong gravity waves appeared, which still exist today. Of course, this is only a hypothesis that requires detailed evaluation and verification.
