  Singularity?

  The Big Bang Model is a broadly accepted theory for the
  origin and evolution of our universe. It postulates that 12 to
  14 billion years ago, the portion of the universe we can see
  today was only a few millimeters across. It has since
  expanded from this hot dense state into the vast and much
  cooler cosmos we currently inhabit. We can see remnants of
  this hot dense matter as the now very cold cosmic
  microwave background radiation which still pervades the
  universe and is visible to microwave detectors as a uniform
  glow across the entire sky.
