When the Pandorica opened in 1996, it contained billions of atoms from the universe as it should have been. Some of these were the final traces of whole races that had been un-made by [[Time Field|the cracks in the universe]]. As "the perfect prison," the Pandorica was also designed to emit special energies which would preserve or restore whatever was inside it. This combination of pre-collapse atoms, and special energies, had a restorative effect on a fossilised Dalek. This was thought impossible, because the Daleks had never existed, having been wiped from history, so there should have been nothing to resurrect. Upon working this out, the Doctor reasoned that if the Pandorica interior's energy field could be transmitted to the entire universe, this would recreate the universe. | When the Pandorica opened in 1996, it contained billions of atoms from the universe as it should have been.

It's unclear what's wrong with the article, because the editor who placed this tag here didn't enumerate the page's problems.
These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.
The Big Bang Two refers to the explosion caused by the doctor "rebooting" the universe after its destruction, in the TV episode The Big Bang.
In 1996, all stars in the universe had gone supernova due to the unique circumstances of the TARDIS's destruction, At that time, the entire universe had already been destroyed except for the Earth and its moon. The TARDIS's continuing explosion, which (like the resultant destruction of the universe) was happening "at every point in history," acted as a replacement for the sun.
When the Pandorica opened in 1996, it contained billions of atoms from the universe as it should have been. Some of these were the final traces of whole races that had been un-made by the cracks in the universe. As "the perfect prison," the Pandorica was also designed to emit special energies which would preserve or restore whatever was inside it. This combination of pre-collapse atoms, and special energies, had a restorative effect on a fossilised Dalek. This was thought impossible, because the Daleks had never existed, having been wiped from history, so there should have been nothing to resurrect. Upon working this out, the Doctor reasoned that if the Pandorica interior's energy field could be transmitted to the entire universe, this would recreate the universe.

Potential Controversy
Because this new universe's survival hinged on certain omissions when compared to the history of the prior universe, it's unclear whether any previous Doctor Who adventures ever took place. It's somewhat likely that all prior stories were remembered back into existence alongside the Doctor himself, however, this would conflict with removing the cracks. The opposite alternative would be if no prior adventures took place, which would drastically alter history and the status of many characters and factions. It is also possible that the other things erased remained that way as Amy had to focus on Rory and her parents for them to be brought back and she had to focus on the Doctor to bring him back as well.
