Distinction between different points at Big Bang Singularity

Physics Asked by self.grassmanian on January 15, 2021

As per the Big Bang model of Cosmology roughly 13.8 billion years ago a singularity exploded exponentially to eventually become the present universe.

At the present time (basically current time-slice) we have all the space which according to the said model was crunched into a singularity. My question is whether two distinct space points in the current time-slice correspond to two distinct points inside the singularity (at big bang or as soon as the notion of space-time could be considered) or could they have been a single point as well?

I haven’t studied cosmology (as evidenced by this rather immature question) so it would be really helpful to put things in a simple manner.

One Answer

Two points that are different now correspond to two points that were different at any time after the Big Bang. Asking what happened at the Big Bang is not meaningful.
