What had happened before the big bang?

Answer 1

Prior to our universal reality within a fourth dimensional existence, the instance of universe is modeled within the creation event called the Big Bang. The pre-Big Bang is a theory, in which all the essence of our universe was previously defined within a singularity, is really an extreme condition of our fourth dimensional reality in SpaceTime providing for a temporal confinement in the unification of all the primary forces of the physics (i.e., gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak); the Big Bang is not a true one dimensional perspective of SpaceTime. Therefore, it can be assumed that the actual instance of creation preceded the Big Bang creation event in an unfolding evolution of dimensional realities of SpaceTime. Stephen Hawking has addressed this peculiar connection between time and the Big Bang. In 'A Brief History of Time' and elsewhere, Hawking says that even if time did not begin with the Big Bang and there were another time frame before the Big Bang, then no information from these events then would be accessible to us; i.e., nothing that happened pre-Big Bang would actually have any effect upon the present time-frame. Upon occasion, Hawking has stated that time actually began with the Big Bang, and that questions about what happened before the Big Bang are meaningless. While the Big Bang introduced the dimensional reality of existence into the void/abyss of non-existence, the expectation is that the outer space of our universe will continue to be expanded within this infinite void/abyss. In this perspective, existence is the intrusion of a fourth dimensional convergence of Space and Time within the infinity of non-existence (or nothingness). Some say this nothingness is representative of dark energy, in which case it would be something. Then we would need to rethink our model of cosmology to allow for nothingness to precede even this medium of dark energy.
