We can use balloon as an example of the
Big Bang theory in terms of
expansion but the analogy is not applicable to explain the mechanism of Big
Bang.
The example of formation soap bubbles may provide a better analogy. Have you ever
make bubbles
from soap when you are kids?
When
two bubbles come in contact, it creates another bubble and when you separate
one bubble, it becomes two bubbles. Theoretically, it is either one of these two mechanisms that makes our
universe come into existence. That is what big bang is all about; mechanism and
expansion. If a balloon or soap bubble can expand by blowing air into it, then
what makes the universe expands? Will it be the same air that we blow
into the balloon?
Well, it is not exactly air but what scientist term as dark energy.
