Best description of the Big Bang ever, from Douglas Adams (via drunk Ford Prefect): Imagine youve got this bath. And its conical. So what you do is, you see, you fill it with fine white sand, all right? Or sugar. Fine white sand, and/or sugar. Anything. Doesnt matter. Sugars fine. And when its full, you pull the plug out, and it all just twirls away, twirls away you see, out of the plughole. You want to hear the clever bit? Ill tell you the clever bit. The clever bit, is this. You film it happening. You get a movie camera, and you film it happening. Thats not the clever bit. This is the clever bit, I remember now that this is the clever bit. The clever bit is that you then thread the film in the projector...backward! So then, you just sit and watch it, and everything just appears to spiral upward out of the plughole and fill the bath. See? Arthur: And thats how the universe began? Ford: No. But its a marvelous way to relax.
