Sorry to be technical, but it isn't an explosion. At least not in the conventional sense. Your pics of those exploding bombs aren't really comparable.
Quote:In terms of physics the big bang was not an explosion it was the expansion of space time. In terms of the rules of the English language the closest metaphor for the event is to call it an "explosion of space". Just don't confuse that for the physics.
