@BRAINIAC if it's alright would you mind weighing in on this one? (this last one about theories)

Answer 15

where is "overusing the laugh track"?

but in all seriousness I don't know this one, @BRAINIAC would you mind weighing in again? :S

Answer 16

idk im stuck between A and D

Answer 17

Leaning towards D, but that's just me. One of the greatest faults with the Big Bang Theory is that it violates the first law of thermodynamics. The Big Bang Theory basically says there was nothing, then there was something. Doesn't make any sense. So what caused it?

Answer 18

yeah that's what I was thinking too, according to my understanding the big bang theory starts with the assumption that the big bang happened and tries to explain physical phenomena under that reasoning (I could be wrong tho :S)

Answer 19

Yeah that is true, main thing that is a shortcoming or a fault is like what caused it

I think I will go with D

Answer 32

Thats what I mean I just don tknow

Answer 33

I think IM gonna put D?

Answer 34

it can't be D, that's contradictory, it's gotta be B or C, I've asked around and they say B is the safer, more traditional answer since A and C are newer explanations
