The expansion of the universe has never stopped and likely will never stop."Happened" refers to something which has comes to its end.
Keeping this thing in mind my my question to science is:
- Big-bang has happened ?
- Or, big-bang currently in progress ?
The expansion of the universe has never stopped and likely will never stop.
The rapid expansion (inflation) stopped as the universe was as big as a grapefruit. (Though there may be regions where it didn't stop.)
So, the correct answer is 1. depends what you mean and 2. we don't know.
Evidence for what ?Evidence as evidence. You know, evidence!!!
Evidence for what ?
Still don't understand your question.The bold part.
Still don't understand your question.
Do you care to rephrase it ?
He used the word "Rapid" along with expansion.I want evidence for the fact of this claim: "The rapid expansion (inflation) stopped as the universe was as big as a grapefruit."
That is a question separate from the theory of the big bang. According to the theory of relativity we are inside time, so in that sense we are part of the big bang and cannot see outside of it. Without relativity we'd have some hope of thinking about what could happen before the big bang, but I think that relativity is more certain than the big bang is. It has held up against experimentation. If we are wrong about the big bang though, then maybe there is a before. Probably there is not."Happened" refers to something which has comes to its end.

"When the universe was just 10-34 of a second or so old — that is, a hundredth of a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second in age — it experienced an incredible burst of expansion known as inflation, in which space itself expanded faster than the speed of light. During this period, the universe doubled in size at least 90 times, going from subatomic-sized to golf-ball-sized almost instantaneously." - from Our Expanding Universe: Age, History & Other Facts | SpaceI want evidence for the fact of this claim: "The rapid expansion (inflation) stopped as the universe was as big as a grapefruit."

An introduction to cosmological inflationI want evidence for the fact of this claim: "The rapid expansion (inflation) stopped as the universe was as big as a grapefruit."

Note that the size of a golf ball is the lower limit, so, in cosmological dimensions, a grapefruit is nearer to the assumed volume.
