The Flaws in the Big Bang Theory
1:05:35 - 1:09:49 (04:13)
The theory of the Big Bang suggests that the universe expanded exponentially in a fraction of a second, but the concept of inflation had to be added to make it work. The theory goes against the second law of thermodynamics that things get more random over time, yet gravity remains ordered.
