There is general consensus among members of the scientific community that the universe in which we live burst into existence following a cataclysmic explosion, or 'Big Bang', 13.7 billion years ago. The swirling masses of matter and energy that resulted from this Big Bang were pulled together by electrostatic forces over the coming billions of years to form galaxies, stars and planets, including the planet on which we live.
