The greatest success story in physics

I have a question... Why does this model show the 'Big Bang' as being mono-directional? The explosion of anything is far more random and omni-directional. That seems to me to present a problem...

Seems to me they wanted to emphasize time, which is unidirectional. The focus of the carton is the evolution of the universe through time. They attempted to represent the 3-d spatial expansion of the universe through time by graphically implying a third dimension, projected into and out of the two dimensional plane of the cartoon.
 
You're making progress.

You've backtracked away from claiming there is no such thing as the Standard Model and shifted to trying to verbally finesse what the SM represents.
There is no such thing as a Standard Model, Sock.
Good attempt at trying to tiptoe away from your original claim!
I have not changed anything.
I've been calling it a framework myself,
It is not a framework either.
because it's actually an overarching scientific scheme
It has nothing to do with science, Sock.
that includes a system of inter-related theories
It is not a theory or set of theories, Sock.
like quantum chromodynamics, quantum electrodynamics, the electroweak theory, and field and particle theory.
Buzzword fallacies.
None of these are theories either.
 
You would have to be an active consumer of science journalism to grasp it.
Science isn't a journal, magazine, or newspaper, Sock.
The gauge bosons shown in all graphical illustrations of the Standard Model are the force carriers that mediate the interactions between forces, fields, and particles. The photon mediates the electromagnetic force (quantum electrodynamics), the gluon mediates the strong nuclear interactions with particles (quantum chromodynamics), and the W+, W-, and Z bosons mediate the interactions of the weak force (Electroweak theory). The Higgs field gives subatomic particles mass
Buzzword fallacies.
You can't laugh your way out of your illiteracy, Sock.
 
Think of it as a single house wiring diagram. You want to keep it as simple as possible. Tweakers won't understand the full picture. The multiverse has numerous big bangs yet science only focuses on one.

There is no such thing as a multiverse in a universe. Paradox.

It makes a difference in where the big bang took place in relation to the whole of the universe. That is, as shown, it occurred at one margin of it and the universe expanded away 'shotgun' style from it. If it occurred in the middle of the universe and everything expanded away from it in every direction, then where is that center in relation to the whole?

It makes a big difference.

Nope. No photons "mediate" anything.

"Electromagnetism in general is mediated by photons. This is a quantum phenomenon " (source: University of Illinois Physics Department)


Nope. Higgs boson does NOT account for mass.

Higgs boson: "The existence of this mass-giving field was confirmed in 2012, when the Higgs boson particle was discovered at CERN." (source: European Center for Nuclear Research - CERN)

Nope, it's a simplification/representation. It's not like the big bang resulted in one giant jet off to the "side" as there was no "direction", there was no "side", there was no "up", no "down", not even a "when".

This is a way to represent a concept.
