How hot was the Big Bang?

Answer 1

#10^32# #"Kelvin"#.

The big bang is the instant when the primordial singularity became the universe. A singularity is defined as an infinitely dense, infinitely hot and infinitesimally small point. All our math breaks down as we approach the singularity, and so the answer is 'infinite temperature'.

However, based on observations of distant objects and measurements of the cosmic background radiation, scientists have deduced the temperature at the instant of the Big Bang as #10^32# #"Kelvin"#.

It is estimated that the temperature of the Big Bang was approximately 10^32 Kelvin (1 followed by 32 zeros). This enormous temperature happened in the first few seconds following the Big Bang event.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
