Not according to the "Standard Model" the jury is still out on that question!
Most theorists will tell you that there was no space at all before the 'big bang'. Space itself began expanding along with the materials in the big bang.
The "Cyclic Model," AKA the "Oscillating Universe Model."
Events in the Universe are often dated from the Big Bang. But the fact is, NOBODY KNOWS what (if anything) happened before the Big Bang. The Big Bang MAY have been the start of time itself; but it is possible that the Universe existed (in some form) forever in the past.
Right after the big bang happened, the universe was expanding at a speed of light. While it was expanding, it started to cool itself down since the big bang caused the universe to heat up to ridiculous temperature.
According to the believes of physics and the big bang, we know that the big bang was both big and a bang. Since we are still receiving radiation from the big bang, So considering that factor I would say that it was big and a bang. What do you believe?
The big bang created itself.
The Big Bang is the cause of everything we know - the Universe around us. If the Big Bang itself was caused by something else, we don't know about it.
In the current model of the universe the big bang was the 1st thing to happen in the universe since time itself was created in the big bang.

It is not currently known what happened before - or whether there even was a "before". Some say that time itself started with the Big Bang.

The current understanding of the so-called "Big Bang" event suggests that there was no'outside' to it, since all of space itself was created in the event and expanded after it.
Scientists have already conducted this test. All this means is another proof for the theory of the big bang.
Biggus Banguss springs to mind. However, the ancient Romans had no concept of the "Big Bang" and are unlikely to have coined a word for it. Caboomus Magni? Magna Boomba? Craccus Major! The term Big Bang was coined by opponents of the theory, and used mockingly at first. You are likely today to see references to 'inflation' or 'expansion' in discussions of the big bang. Be on the look-out; they might be references to the big bang itself.
