BEFORE the universe has no meaning, because TIME as we know it did NOT exist.
Hence, we cannot go back in time far enough to be there before the universe.
Therefore, there is no definiton of anything before the universe, not even "void".

That like a chicken and egg question your never know the truth!
I believe the void was there before the universe and it be there after the universe as well. Theres no real eviedence on what the void is just that the universe is expanding so it must be going somewhere. Your question comes next the first question is. What is the void. If the void is not matter and not anti matter (if such a thing is possible) then its nothink and so its allways been there and always will because its emptyness.

Yes as I understand it, it was, then the big bang occured and the universe started in that instant and has been expanding outwards ever since into the void. One day (according to a prominent school of thought) the expansion will slow down then stop, then the universe will start to contract back inwards reversing the proceess until it implodes.
scary thought but we will all be dead billions of years before that happens and the sun will be long gone too.
Greebo, void means nothing, empty, not space

Initially there was the void and the fundamental. From the latter sprang the infinity of universes dislodging the former. The void cannot be destroyed and presently resides within my head alongside the myriad.

"universe is expanding so it must be going somewhere"
Why does it have to go somewhere?
Does the void have edges and if so whats behind the void, another void?
After the planch epoch the universe inflated faster than the speed of light and wasn't in the form of matter, so what non-matter expanded into the void to make it expand?

The void existed only as potential before the big bang/God, and isn't/wasn't definable by any perceptions of man.

Yeah the bible was a misquotation. It should have read "In the beginning was the void, and the void was God ..."

Oh no, this sort of thought really makes my brain hurt - it's like asking "why does anything exist at all?"
Theoretically the universe has always existed, but why it's there, who knows!

Void would suggest space but there was no space, no time, no dimensions, nothing.
