Before the universe began...?

Question

If you would have been there, what color would you have seen?

Answer 1

Anytime I think of it, I think of black since that is what I see when I close my eyes. I can see 'nothing' so when there is 'nothing' I always imagine the color black.

Despite that thought, I think it'd have been white since white is the lack of color... And there's a lack of anything before the universe began... Thus white.

Answer 2

Since everything in our universe is made up of 1 or more frequencies (matter, light and sound), the absence of any wavelengths would imply a void. Are we sure there was an absence of wavelengths pre-universe? No. But we can look at the life of our own universe as a guide. Starting out young and blue, it is now a biege kind of color as there are less massive blue stars being formed and more long life red stars. Eventually all the stars will disappear leaving black holes. These will also "evaporate" (Steven Hawking process) and there will be only "old" light, which will redden as the universe expands forever.

Deep Dark Blue is my belief.

Answer 3

Your question implicitly assumes the existance of another habitablel universe in which our universe was created... otherwise how else would you exist to see it.

Before reality (the universe) as we know it, there was nothing, or there was everything other than reality... with that in mind, Electromagnietic waves (which is what light is) exist only in our universe, so there can never a be a concept of color without our universe being created first...

On the other hand, assuming the same spectrum of EM waves as we know it exists in that Hyper Universe in which you're in... then You will see the color of whatever that universe is refelcting or emtting...

Answer 4

It depends on what happened. If the universe expands and contracts, then it probably would have been white from the heat.

If the universe has had several big bangs, then science suggests that it would have been black and cold.

If the universe was born from a vibration or collision of super strings, then there was nothing to describe a color.

Answer 5

space goes on forever. forever means infinity.

when you are talking about infinity, theoretically, there is no beginning and no end. space and time probably would just loop and loop in big circles and waves, crossing over itself.

and also theoretically, there never was a "before" because energy and "matter" cannot be either Created or Destroyed. It can be changed though.

Therefore there was never a time when there was nothing. You would see whatever is there at any given time.

Answer 6

i believe that you would see the whole spectrum since maybe the big boom was a supernova in another more intelligent universe or that a super intelligent world was trying to create a very high power reactor to sustain their planet but it accidentally exploded having the force of all the stars going supernova in the Andromeda Galaxy. but if it was a missile using Albert E.'s formula- E=MC2 it would destroy everything but this is also the formula for creating life as well as destroying it.

Answer 7

Ok, sure. With the exception of what actually formed the universe, I would have to say black. White is supposed to be the blend of all colours, and black is supposed to be the absense of all colours, so I say black.

Answer 8

Probably pink
Its my favorite color and I get happy when I see it

Pink is beautiful

Answer 9

Do you mean before any matter existed? If there was no matter, there was no source of light. If there was no light source, you wouldn't see anything.

Answer 10

no color, just nothingess
