Theory of the universe’s origin (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

big bang

(Other definitions for big bang that I've seen before include "major report" , "beginning to matter?" , "Supposed origin of universe" , "Exchange affected by this" , "Universal beginning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
