(PhysOrg.com) -- Forget the Big Bang theory on the origins of the universe. University of Alberta physicist Greg Sivakoff is looking to find the secrets of the Big Burp theory.

In the coming four weeks, the Large Hadron Collider will begin smashing lead ions together at super-high speeds, creating extremely hot and dense conditions similar to those just instants after the big bang. "Lead ion collisions at the L.H.C. last year showed hints of producing a quark-gluon plasma, an exotic state of matter in which quarks—normally bound in pairs or triplets—are able to wander freely." Until now, the L.H.C. has been hunting the Higgs boson, a particle believed to give mass to matter. What's the Big Idea?

If time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, how could anything happen before it? Our concept of ‘before and after’ (as we know it) relies on our understanding of time and the concept of ’cause and effect’. An analogous question would be “What’s north of the north pole?”. The question has no meaningful answer due to our understanding and definition of ‘north’. This puts the question in a strictly theoretical realm. We’re going to explore several different hypotheses on what happened before the Big Bang, put forth by a few of the world’s leading theoretical physicists.

The start of the Universe should be modeled not as a Big Bang but more like water freezing into ice, according to a team of theoretical physicists.

We spend a lot of time thinking about futurism, but the past is pretty interesting, too. In this week's "Ask a Physicist" we get extra speculative and think about what things may have been like before the beginning of time.

As modern science traces the steps from the big bang to intelligent life, the question of whether we are the rule or the exception leaps to the forefront.

Located some 11 billion light-years from Earth are two clouds of gas. Just two billion years younger than the Big Bang itself, they appear to be the first known clouds that are completely unaltered since the birth of the universe.
