A new study argues that the Big Bang that created the universe may have been less a bang and more a phase shuft, similar to how liquid water becomes ice. The theory postulates simple, fornless energy suddenly organized itself into the early universe we know about 13.7 billion years ago.
The mathematics work out, and the theory also sets out a way to test it. Just as water ice develops cracks during the freezing process, so theorists say the phase change would have left "cracks" in spacetime. Those cracks could be found and studied, if they in fact exist.
