Uniform start of universe described as orderly explosion
NASA researchers using a U 2 jet report the big bang began with a powerful but tightly controlled uniform expansion. Drs. Smoot, Muller, Gorenstein and colleagues say the early universe was smooth, with matter and energy evenly distributed and expanding equally in all directions.
