what was out there in space before the Big Bang?

Answer 1

Nothing, but we can't prove that.

Since all the things we can interact with and see are products of the big bang we have no idea what existed prior to it. We also don't know what caused the big bang. We are not even sure of the size of the cosmic egg that exploded as the big bang. We know it was small, very small, but exactly how small is still a theory.

The big bang created the universe as we know it and we assume that prior to that point there was nothing. Maybe the bible got it right when it said, "In the beginning there was a void, then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was. That is an excellent description of the big bang. I am not a great supporter of religion, but of all the creation myths that is the closest to what we think happened.

What existed before the big bang? It could have been empty space, it could have been only God, it could have been an entirely different universe that was destroyed by the big bang, we just don't know. More importantly there is no way that we can know, we don't know of anything that existed prior to the big bang so we have no way of determing what was going on, if anything, and we never will.

Answer 2

It is a common misconception that the Big Bang model expanded "into" some pre-existing "space". No such assumption is made in the model. The model is all about the Big Bang *creating* spacetime, not simply creating light and matter. It is also a common misconception that the universe expanded from a single point. This mixes up the concepts of a point singularity which people hear about all the time with regards to the popularization of black holes and a general mathematical singularity, which may not be a point at all. As far as the model goes, expansion occurred *everywhere*, where "everywhere" may be a point or an infinite plane singularity/membrane of some unknown dimension. Note that in this latter case, there is no need for *any* extrinsic expansion space! See the source for more questions you may have on large-scale cosmology.

Answer 3

As it is now all we can have is some very good scientific theories and a few intelligently speculated ideas trying to find a sure stand about what existed before the Big Bang. The wonders of the birth of the universe will go on. To many of us this fascinating question is put to rest when all reasoning seem to suggest the existence of a creator, God, but our reasoning will not stop there it tends to branch out forever. It's like a never ending story. Then, trying to put to rest again about the thing we call reasoning we soon find ourselves stuck with so many religious beliefs. This is the reality that I see which tend to make many others want to question about God's reasoning for making all of us run around in circles and fighting with each other trying to up hold our profound beliefs of things which we cannot for sure get a straight answer.

I think to be on the safe side it is better to let things go as it is ,do what best we can , acquire all the knowledge we are able to find then when the time comes for us to drop dead at least we know we just gonna be some wondering atoms only God knows what.

Answer 4

There was nothing before the big bang,but there was a potential,a potential that was finite.
Some time after time zero a single space-time pulse was initiated we were one of the eventual results.
The universe is a finite entity,with a beginning and an end.
An incident that starts from a finite potential nothing,and ends as an eternal nothing with no potential

Answer 5

Space and time began with the Big Bang. There was no "out there in space;" the place to which you are trying to refer did not exist. There was no "before the Big Bang." The time to which you are trying to refer did not exist.

Answer 6

Considering Earth life was created After the big bang no one will ever know however American Scientists think that Juipter is older than Earth aswell as Neptune and Mercury..

So, we will never know, unless Scientists find out.

Answer 7

Three humongous sticks of dynamite and thousands of those flying monkeys that they hired to play in the Wizard of Oz when the got here. It's a little known fact today that if you take a tank of sea monkeys and throw in a firecracker you get a whole room full of those scarey *** monkeys that work for the wicked witch.

Answer 8

This is a bit like asking what color the walls of your living room were painted before your house was built.

Answer 9

There Was No Space. Nothing
Only God

Answer 10

Nobody knows.
