What was there before the universe?

Answer 1

The universe was, is and will be allways here

Think of the universe as a big O. The O signifes time. The O has no begining or end to it so time is just a big loop and there is no other explaination that could be possible. So when the universe falls apart it will just restart.

Answer 2

But before I begin.... First of all, you can either be scientific or religious about this. Science is opposed to religon in many ways. Science says that the universe was created by the big bang, and they got proof. On the other hand religion states the a being that lived from forever to forever named 'god' created it out of nothing, while the only 'proof' they have is an old book which was written by acient people that had no knowlage and had a very low IQ. The bible goes against every PROOF of evolution. It denies evolution and dinosaurs, even tho there is proof that dinosaurs existed and that we evolved from prime apes. So I am going to answer this the scientific way. (please do not rate my answer to this)

The answer is that no one really knows what there was before the universe, or maybe there was always an empty space.

The possibilaties are that either there was at one point "nothing" then (still has to be answered) the big bang occured and created the universe and the elements in it.

The other possibility is that there was always an empty endless void, and the big bang occured inside it.

We might notknow it now, but I know science will one day find an answer =D

Answer 3

That's one of the main questions, that make people to believe in God.
Because we don't have any idea about out of universe.
Some people believe that when there was no universe, there was no time. I think It's one of the best answers.
anyway, if we believe that there was a beginning for universe, there was infinity of time before that. and if we believe that there had been always Universe,again, there is infinity of time for that.
But scientist say that any event before the Big Bang couldn't change any thing about the universe. thereby, we cannot deter mind what was there or what happened there before the big bang. so we have to accept that the time had begun after big bang, when the Universe had just created! because it doesn't matter how much time had spent before or what was there.

Answer 4

Before the universe ( the galactic matter ) was created , the basic componetns of the matter had existed in a different form , that is in the form energy particles,like electron, proton , the electromagnetic forces etc.
Nothing as been made out of anything that did not exist before . matter being is indestructible , it could not be created also .It was eternal but changing from one to another . The matter in the shpe of fre electrons protons etc were in space - empty space as nothing could exist without space . For anythng to come into existence , ther must be space . so when matter was present , space for its existence was also there . That is the the special quality of matter and energy. they wee neither created not destroyed . since he huaman brain being one used to a closed atmosphere controlled by forces of nature in an environment created by these primordial matter long after their assuming new and changed shapes and qualities , it si unable to understand a situation that could be totally different from the one it has experienced. To us it requires some magic to create te changes that have overtaken teh universe and created all that is seen tody. We always thing that somebody or something exterrnal should have made this , forgetting te fact that such an external force would itself have something else to exist on and that it will never end in any point . The existence iof the eternal substances ,matter is real and the existence of the energy particles and the the creation of electromagnetic and x-ray and Radiation by a combination of these energey particles over a period of some zillions is real. We will continue to wonder as we come to know more and more .any thing we come across for the first time will be unbelievable and wonderful

Answer 5

before the universe there was pre-matter soup.
Until recently, the first hundredth of a second was a bit of a mystery, leaving Weinberg and others unable to describe exactly what the universe would have been like. New experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Brookhaven National Laboratory have provided physicists with a glimpse through this curtain of high energy, so they can directly observe the sorts of behavior that might have been taking place in this time frame.

At these energies, the quarks that comprise protons and neutrons were not yet joined together, and a dense, superhot mix of quarks and gluons, with some electrons thrown in, was all that could exist in the microseconds before it cooled enough to form into the sort of matter particles we observe today.

Answer 6

Before the universe was NOTHING .
===============
Once upon a time, 20 billions of years ago, all matter
(all elementary particles and all quarks and
their girlfriends- antiparticles and antiquarks,
all kinds of waves: electromagnetic, gravitational,
muons… gluons field ….. etc.) – was assembled in a “single point”.
It is interesting to think about what had surrounded the “single point”.
The answer is :
EMPTINESS- NOTHING….!!!
Ok!
But why does everyone speak about EMPTINESS- NOTHING in
common phrases rather than in specific, concrete terms?
I wonder why nobody has written down this EMPTINESS- NOTHING in the form of a physical formula ?
You see, every schoolboy knows that
is possible to express the EMPTINESS- NOTHING condition
by the formula T=0K.

Answer 7

One theory is if the universe has enough mass it is a 'closed' universe and will expand to a point, then collapse back on itself (known as the big crunch) into a single point and re-expand in a new big bang (and a new universe), so it is possible our universe resulted out of another's big crunch.

Answer 8

Actually, since the universe was created a long time ago, I don't think there is any slightest chance for us to find out in the near future and I seriously don't know either.

Answer 9

In the beginning the Universe was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the singularity. Then I said, "Let there be a Big Bang", and there was a Big Bang.

Answer 10

Don’t know but some people seem to think that there are several universes and our universe is one of many in an infinite plan between membranes and stuff. Look up String Theory, and the 11th dimension.
