The Big Bang "created" the universe, or so it is said to. Einstein realized that his equations said that the universe must be either expanding or contracting, but it could not be standing still, because if it were then gravity would attract all the galaxies towards one another . This started his theory.

Q: What were the prevalent philosophical and/or religious beliefs at the time?

Albert Einstein: The beliefs at the time and where I lived that were prevalent were Jewish-Christian beliefs which were based on the Bible. Later in my life I started to doubt the Bible. But, that is a different subject.

Albert Einstein was born in Germany. He was also Jewish. This made life hard for him around the 1940's. He had to do something before he was captured by the Nazis. So Albert escaped to America. His knowledge spread across the US once he arrived. Ha is known as the smartest man alive.
