M-theory is a cutting-edge theory of physics that deals with the extension of superstring theory. It is somewhat contentious in the physics community, as it lacks empirical evidence. If ever experimentally verified, M-theory and string theory would represent remarkable advances in science.
M-theory has been the target of increasing skepticism as some (notably Peter Woit and Lee Smolin) argue that string theorists have overstated many of the theory's strengths while underplaying its weaknesses
Unlike more conventional views of creation in modern physics, that are Ex nihilo, the M-Theory vision, although not yet complete, is of the whole observable universe being one of many extended 4 dimensional branes in an 12 dimensional spacetime. Although branes similar to that representing our universe can co-exist in the theory, their physical laws could differ from our own, as could their number of dimensions. Some proponents of the theory now believe that a collision of two branes may have been responsible for the Big Bang.
thats said...
The big bang was not an explosion of matter; it was an explosion of energy
Using Einstein’s equation E=MC2 mater and energy are interchangeable. We have already turned mater into energy so the reverse would also be true.
The mater in the universe was transformed from the energy of the big bang.

Some scientists think that the universe can it explain like a wave. Thats mean that the universe can be infinitely,being created and being contracted constantly through many big bans or big crunchs, but this idea is more philosophy than scientific theory. Some of the scientist that talk about it are, Paul Steinhardt y Neil Turok.
God bless you my friend.

There is no "before" the universe. That's like asking what color comes before 23. Or what's the difference between a raven.
The words by themselves are English, but when you put them together into a sentence, they don't make sense.

There were gigantic masses of unformed chemicals that came together when the Big Bang went off. All of the matter that exists today floated somewhere in some shape before the Big Bang, because matter cannot be created or destroyed.

Space. It's so hard to fathom nothingness, but that's what space is. I guess the universe was probably one big black hole at one time. We will never know the answer to this question.

Before the Universe was "Born" only its Parents were living! Not sure when they were married.

I would say God. Would you rather believe vibrating strings, as in the "string theory?"
