According to Science there was nothing. But `nothing doesnt mean nothing. In cosmology nothing means layers of energy lined up to form a vaccume. sometimes energy can create a small explosion. If hundreds of these explosions occur at the same time then that would have created the big bang.
Before the Big Bang, there were no such things as 'there' and 'before'. I know it sounds
crazy and slightly facetious, but the Big Bang is regarded as the point in space and time
where/when space and time came into existence.
Science says the question is unanswerable and may very well be meaningless, since time itself may not have existed before the big bang.
Philosophy and religion say... well, just about any thing you like, almost all mutually contradictory. Choose your preferred one, and ask a priest (I'd say "or philosopher", but any philosopher who gets dogmatic about what was before the universe might as well be called a priest).
Unclear as there is no way to know what happened before the big bang, or even if there was a "before the big bang".
There was no such thing as 'space' before the Big Bang. In fact, there was no such thing as 'before' before the Big Bang. Space and time both began with that event.
No. The big bang was before the dinos.
To be born then you would have had be born before the Big Bang. There was no "before" the Big Bang.
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.
It was formed by the big bang but nobody knows how it was formed or what there was before the big bang
Before the Big Bang, there was no world, nothing. Nothing defies description.
Before the Big Bang theory, many scientists believed that the universe was static, or infinitely unchanging.
Our concept of the "big bang" has no explanation about how or why, but our hypothesis is that there was NOTHING before the Big Bang created the universe.
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.
Nobody currently knows what happened before the Big Bang, or whether there even WAS a "before".
We have no idea what, if anything, existed before the Big Bang, or even if the concept of "before" has any meaning in this context.
