can't be nothing

Well they say it's all about gravity!!!
This is an amazing theory:
gravity force atracts bodys to each other: planets, stars, galaxys. So the universe is contracting. In a long period of time all the materia will be condensed again in a minimum space and it will explode!!!
this only affirms that before the big bang there was another big bang, they call this phenomena BIG BOUNCE, and it is a 100 000 000 000 years cycle.
THIS IS THE MOST COMPLETE THEORY ABOUT IT

Both space and time began with the Big Bang, so there was no "before". What makes you say that before the Big Bang, "Can't be nothing"? Why not? Does the idea of "nothing" frighten you or do you really believe that "nothing" cannot exist? It's certainly not an idea easy to cope with intellectually, especially from the perspective of Western science, but the Hindus don't seem to have a lot of trouble with it.
Physicists believe they can understand the processes that occured back to within milliseconds of the Bang itself, but it may be that we will never understand more than that. The pressures, temperatures, expansion rates, etc. are simply mind-boggling and may not be accessible to the scientific method and our measuring systems.
Although I personally am not a believer in a personal god, the idea of the Big Bang does not preclude such an entity. Actually, I think the folks who believe that every word of the Bible is literally true are limiting the possibilities of their god. Why put limits on what they believe to be an omniscient, omnipresent, all-powerful entity? It's ok to believe in science AND god.
Google "the Big Bang" for lots of links to real science. It's way cool. A few links are listed below.

There are many ideas about this, none of them can be proven.
If the Big Bang/Crunch dynamic is correct (The Universe expands to a certian point, then contracts back down on it self), then this may be a mobius of sorts. Under the strain of the entire space/time continum being crushed, it's entirely possible that it's just a loop.
Our Universe may be a part of a greater system of Universes contained by something else. I'm sure you'd want to know what that was in, but it doesn't have a name either so you can refer to it as whatever you want to, assuming it exists.
The Universes creation may be the result of closed Superstrings bumping into eachother, this is called the Membrane theory. In which our Universe would be contained in the walls of this Membrane.
And, dispite what you might prefer to think, 'Nothing' is also a possibility.
We don't know enough to rule anything out.

The belongings you hear with reference to the massive Hadron Collider is ridiculously sensationalized via the media. What replaced into produced DID simulate, on an extremely small scale, situations something like those contemporary interior the great Universe very shortly after the super Bang. that's a a great way cry from surely producing a 'miniature massive Bang'. there continues to be an excellent form of stuff lacking, enormously cosmic inflation and vacuum section transitions. That reported, there is no good reason our universe could no longer have been made technologically via some particularly powerful alien race interior the distant previous.

they used to believe it was a ball of great (and i mean great) mass smaller than a pinpoint that exploded to create all the mass that is in the universe.
but now they do infact believe that there was nothing at all before the Big Bang.
my own knowledge, sorry if its inaccurate.
can i just say, that isn't the creation story so much easier to believe than an explosion from nothing for no reason?
2 people in a room. one leaves. when he comes back in the other person has a massive model of a dinosaur. which is more logical: it exploded from nothing, or the guy made it?

There is no way of knowing that.
One theory is that our universe will eventually collapse on itself. The powerful forces that are created during the implosion could build up to a point where there is an explosion -- another Big Bang.

Our galaxy has a massive black hole at the middle with the mass of over a million Suns. If a universe collapses into a black hole with trillions of solar masses, it may warp space so badly that the energy explodes into another space-time which would look like a big-bang in that space-time.

Nothing. The big bang was the beginning of time itself, and any discussion about what happened before the big bang, or what caused it-in the usual sense of physical causation-is simply meaningless. There was nothing.

I don't know. I'm a firm believer in the Big Bang, but I have no idea where it came from. I have similar thoughts about God, but he's a lot less believable.

according to most theories, nothing. All matter and antimatter cmae from nothing. All positive and negative energy came from nothing.
That is why many newer theories propose more than one "universe", otherwise known as multiverses. These may just appear randomly within or outside our own universe. These have also been called bubble universes, and they will expand indefinately.
