what was there before the BIG bang?

Answer 1

The Big Foreplay.

Answer 2

According to the Big Bang model, the universe developed from an extremely dense and hot state. Space itself has been expanding ever since, carrying galaxies (and all other matter) with it.

One of the most persistently asked questions has been: How was the universe created? Many once believed that the universe had no beginning or end and was truly infinite. Through the inception of the Big Bang theory, however,no longer could the universe be considered infinite. The universe was forced to take on the properties of a finite phenomenon, possessing a history and a beginning.

About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of pure speculation. This occurance was not a conventional explosion but rather an event filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe rushing away from each other. The Big Bang actually consisted of an explosion of space within itself unlike an explosion of a bomb were fragments are thrown outward. The galaxies were not all clumped together, but rather the Big Bang lay the foundations for the universe.

It was complete vaccum before the big bang.

Answer 3

We can define the universe as everything there is, so in that case there is nothing outside of it. We also say that space and time both started at the Big Bang and therefore there was nothing before it.


Another definition for the universe is the observable universe - which is the part of it that we can technically see. We cannot know what is outside of that (since we can't observe it), but we think that physics works the same everywhere and so we think that it should be very similar to the observable universe. We actually think that the universe might be infinite in extent, and so goes on forever, even though we can only see a finite part of it.


We can speculate in meta-physics or in religion about what was before the Big Bang, but again, we cannot use science to tell anything about it as physics as we understand it breaks down at that point.

Answer 4

Scientists, scholars, geniuses of europe and america - pardon me. You were always right and we were all wrong all the time. I beg your pardon before I answer.

Big bang theorist believe that all the matter that we see now - this whole universe was crushed in the size of a peanut or even smaller and it exploded. My simple question to them is: Where did those matter came from? Who made them and put there? If it could be contained in a peanut size at one point in time, why should it explode at all? or why shouldn't it stay as it was? You could conclude scientifically that this whole universe is contained in the size of a peanut. But why couldn't you stretch a little bit and imagine the possibility that those matters came from naught.

There was spirit before a matter was created and one of the eight fold characters of the spirit is knowledge. Time began after that. Material physics start after a matter is created. So the rules of material physics do not apply to the spirit that pervades all the matter and prevails before a matter was created. The same knowledge manage the evolution of beings and prevails in all its creation. Look at a leaf that is unfolded from a seed, replicating the size, shape, color, odor, taste, texture, etc. etc. with a pin pointed precision for millions of years. The spirit within the being executes this.

I am not narrating my story here. Its all asked and answered long long back in 'Sidhantha' literally meaning 'end of knowledge'.

And finally my deep condolences to guys who don't know Tamil or Indian languages. You lost an opportunity to read sidhantha in this life time. So keep repeating like a parrot - god said 'let there be light' and there was light.

Answer 5

Time began at the moment of the big bang, so there was no BEFORE before the big bang. Time is a dimension like length width and height. That would be like saying "how long was this line before I drew it?" The line didn't exist so it didn't have a length. As humans we don't usually think of time that way, so the concept is very difficult.

Answer 6

No one really knows. The big bank occurred because a point in space was so infinitely dense that the atoms couldn't be bonded any more. So then there was an unimaginable explosion that sent all the atoms and molecules flying every where, there for starting our universe. This however is just a theory, and probably can be never confirmed. Was there anything before? Well there had to be for the infinitely dense point to get that dense! But truly no one knows :(

Answer 7

There had to be something or there would have been nothing to make the Big Bang happen. Time has no beginning or end. The universe may not have once been here and may not be here some time in the future, but time will remain a constant.

Answer 8

WELL BUDDY I THINK U DUNNO THE PARRELLEL UNIVERSE THEORY.............
ACC 2 EINSTEIN TIME IS NOT CONSTANT................
AND SCIENTISTS IN THE PRESENT DAY 2 KEEP HIS THEORY HAVE MADE THIS THEORY..........
LIKE U HAVE ASKED A QUES IN THIS UNIVERSE BUT IN SOME OTHER UNIVERSE U MIGHT STILL BE TYPING A QUESTION AN IN STILL SOME OTHER UR QUESTION MIGHT BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST
THIS ALSO FORMS THE BASIS OF THE TIME TRAVEL THEORY AHHHHHHHHHH ITS A LONG STORY TALK 2 ME SOME OTHER TIME!!!!!!!!

OKAY BEFORE THE BASNG MATTER EXISTED DENSELY PACKED IN SOME OTHER UNIVERSE AND THEN IT WAS TRANSPORTED TO OURS

HOW THIS HAPPENED ????DONT ASK ME........

Answer 9

A ten year old kid with an aquarium. I'm more concerned about the SMALL bang. I see thumbs down interesting. So who can prove me wrong?

Answer 10

The primeval atom or the concentrated speck of matter which blasted during the big bang.
Actually even NASA is not yet clear about this.
