Did the Big Bang happen?

[JairCrawford]

Do you think something like the graviton could be the answer? Is there potential to discover a graviton at the LHC like we did with the Higgs boson?

You're missing the point of Science entirely (at least in my opinion). Scientists develop models that describe nature and they continue to develop and test those models in search of better and better models, ad infinitum.

Seriously, you need to start with freshmen physics and go from there. The last chapter of Halliday, Resnick and Walker will give you the introduction to cosmology. If you want to understand General Relativity, you'll need to go to graduate school.

I’m not sure how the potential (or lack thereof) of a discovery of a graviton is an unscientific question to ask? If the question is totally implausible due to the math, then just tell me. I’m going to have to take your word for it because I know my limitations when it comes to understanding complex math, which is why Im not about to try to do all of those things lol. I was reading the Wikipedia page for quantum field theory and the math formulas they showed might as well have been a foreign language. Again, I know my minds limits there. But such limitations do not quench my curiosity. I strive to understand as best as I can, in layman’s terms, despite my mathematical limitations.

Also I understand that question is very much a what-if. I know that science is about making observations and what-ifs are really just what-ifs. But at the same time, the graviton has been hypothesized for a while so I’m just curious if that would help answer questions about quantum gravity. I’m not, however, banking on it being “true until proven false” or anything like that because that would be blatantly unscientific.
