Daesung was chosen after an audition, and even though he was called an "ugly boy" among the staff, he became one of the most popular members of the group. During my vocal training, Daesung trained with Wheesung, one of his favorite musical artists. Wheesung also helped other members Big Bang.
During training Daesung I got laryngitis (called “teachers’ disease” - difficulties with singing, speaking, pronunciation). He got worse at the end of 2006, and had to recover before recording the second single Big Bang. Fortunately Gummy who suffered the same disease, helped Daesung recover and get back to normal. After this incident they remained friends. (By the wayGummy says" Yoboseyo?" ("Hello?) at the beginning of the clip " Lie") In April 2007 Daesung decided to quit high school to fully concentrate on activities in Big Bang, but expressed a desire to take the college entrance exam sometime in the future.
In 2008 Desson participated in the Korean production of the musical " Cats", thus becoming the second member of the group to begin a solo career in musicals. He also showed his many talents in various shows and television programs, including the popular show " Family Outing" on the TV channel SBS. His single "Look at Me, Gwisun", made in the Korean national style "trot" had big success among his fans of all ages. Outwardly, he is very reminiscent of the Japanese Pokemon Doraemon, so fans often send him figurines of this Pokemon as gifts.
Although he is funny on reality TV and in performances, Daesung was very different a few years ago. He was a student who couldn't even make eye contact with anyone as he was very shy and timid. Parents Daesung were against him becoming a singer.
Vocal teacher who was a teacher Daesung in his first year of high school, commented, "The other teachers thought he wouldn't pass the audition because of his looks, but I knew he had potential, so I didn't doubt him."

• Cosmological models
  • Friedman's Universe

Usually they now combine theory big bang and the hot Universe model, but these concepts are independent and historically there was also a concept of a cold initial Universe near the Big Bang. It is the combination of the Big Bang theory with the theory of a hot Universe, supported by the existence of cosmic microwave background radiation, that is considered further.

Modern ideas of the Big Bang theory and the theory of the hot Universe

According to modern concepts, the Universe we now observe arose 13.799 ± 0.021 billion years ago from some initial singular state and has been continuously expanding and cooling since then. According to the known limitations on the applicability of modern physical theories, the earliest moment that can be described is considered to be the moment of the Planck epoch with a temperature of approximately 10 32 K (Planck temperature) and a density of about 10 93 g/cm³ (Planck density). The early Universe was a highly homogeneous and isotropic environment with unusually high energy density, temperature and pressure. As a result of expansion and cooling, phase transitions occurred in the Universe, similar to the condensation of a liquid from a gas, but in relation to elementary particles.

In the period of time from zero to 10 −43 seconds after the Big Bang, the processes of the birth of the Universe from a singularity took place. It is believed that in this case the temperature and density of the matter of the Universe were close to Planck values. There is no complete physical theory of this stage. At the end of this stage, gravitational radiation separated from the matter.

Approximately 10 −42 seconds after the Big Bang, a phase transition caused the exponential expansion of the Universe. This period was called Cosmic Inflation and ended 10−36 seconds after the Big Bang.

After the end of this period, the building material of the Universe was quark-gluon plasma. After some time, the temperature dropped to values ​​at which the next phase transition, called baryogenesis, became possible. At this stage, quarks and gluons combined to form baryons, such as protons and neutrons. At the same time, an asymmetric formation of both matter, which prevailed, and antimatter, which mutually annihilated, turning into radiation, occurred simultaneously.

A further drop in temperature led to the next phase transition - the formation of physical forces and elementary particles in their modern form. After which came the era of nucleosynthesis, in which protons, combining with neutrons, formed the nuclei of deuterium, helium-4 and several other light isotopes. After a further drop in temperature and expansion of the Universe, the next transition point occurred, at which gravity became the dominant force. 380 thousand years after the Big Bang, the temperature dropped so much that the existence of hydrogen atoms became possible (before this, the processes of ionization and recombination of protons with electrons were in equilibrium).

After the era of recombination, matter became transparent to radiation, which, spreading freely in space, came to us in the form of cosmic microwave background radiation.

It should be noted that at all stages of the Big Bang the so-called cosmological principle is fulfilled - the Universe in any this moment time looks the same to an observer at any point in space. In particular, at any given moment, at all points in space, the density of matter is on average the same. A big bang is not like the explosion of a stick of dynamite in empty space, when matter begins to expand from a small volume into the surrounding void, forming a spherical gas cloud with a clear expansion front, beyond which there is a vacuum. This popular belief is wrong. In fact, the Big Bang occurred at all points in space simultaneously and synchronously, it is impossible to point to any point as the center of the explosion, there are no large-scale gradients of pressure and density in space, and there are no boundaries or fronts separating the expanding matter from the void. The Big Bang should be imagined as an expansion of space itself, together with the matter contained in it, which, on average, is at rest at each given point.
