Nothing.
The "Big Bang" is when matter and energy (which are really the same thing) were created. Before their existence, there was really no such thing as "time" or "space".
The idea of "happening" is a product of the human mind and its inability to easily conceive of time as being "just another dimension" like left, right, up & down through which matter & energy can travel.
Stand still on one spot. You are travelling forwards in time. Without you or the spot there, "time" has no meaning, so there would be no "before"...
Freaky, huh?

Nothing. There was no time before the big bang. All space and time were created at the big bang. There was no before.

Only the one who started the Big Bang knows.

Hi.I think nothing happened before the theory of the big bang because there was nothing to happen. Somehow it appeared (created?)from nothing to become something which is impossible using today's logic.
Cheers.

I'm not sure of the name of period but at the time b4 the universe started expanding. the universe and everything in it was contained in a space the size of an atom. then something happened and BANG!! the universe started expanding.

Before the big bang,before time zero,a finite potential existed.
It had to be a potential and it had to be finite or it could not have resulted in a space-time pulse that launched the universe.

Thats the biggest mystery now. The point at Big Band is called "the singularity" . All the physics laws fail at/before singularity. New theory called "M theory" ( this is some what reformed theory of the string theory ) seems to solve this mystery. But still there are lot of things to be proved by "M theory"

There is no proof there ever was a "big bang". People who follow this idea accept it on faith, nothing more. Even the "scientists" disagree on whether or not it happened. Know why? IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!

That depends on your definition of "before".
A hundred thousand million billion trillion dimensions twisting around in multiple dimensional membranes of possibilities forming higher dimensional manifolds smacking into each other in random combinations, some of which allow for the emergence of a Universe just like ours.
Or not.

Foreplay, then after wards a mixture of awkward silence and attempted cuddling.
