A major discovery of the 20th Century was that we can still detect remnants of all the hubbub and clatter surrounding the universe’s construction, known as the BingBang.
Can you see into the past?
The bingbang is observed by the study of the then emmited radiations which are still hovering around the BIG UNIVERSE.

The quasi-onomatopoeic word “bim-bam†is probably active in there at some level for some speakers, as well as the more generic [CɪC…-CæC…] patterns (there are several of them.)
.
e.g.
Stock footage of gazette “california. ‘bim-bam!! what a fight!!!’ zeman finally flattens out huggins after each had flattened each other .
(Each flattening each other is a nice construction too.)
