MAJOR EXPLOSION, on the modern submissions a condition of the extending Universe in past (ok. 13 billion flying back) when the mean firmness of the Universe in a huge number of times exceeded the modern.

Accordingly at removal in past the firmness will increase, down to the moment when classical submissions about the space and time become invalid (a cosmological singularity). This moment can be accepted for a time zero. As the season{term} of Major explosion conditionally call a time slice from 0 up to several honeycomb of secs. Right at the beginning of this season{term} the substance of the Universe has acquired titanic relative velocities (from here the title). Observable certificate of the season{term} of Major explosion now are relict radiance, values of concentrations of hydrogen, helium and some other light elements, distribution of heterogeneities in the Universe (napr., galaxies)
