Two comments on this..

I guess that sort blows the "nothing is faster than light" theory. Unless light was a lot faster back then....

Also, can you name anything in nature that happens once? Planets, stars, hurricanes, rain, etc?? Why would you think there was only one "big bang"? I'd guess our 'big bang' was just one of an uncountable number of similar events and that our current concept of the 'universe' is really just one little drop in an ocean of "big bangs".
