No one is entirely sure what conditions were like prior to the 'big bang'. Most people would say that the big bang didn't just happen with no physical materials involved. Current thought is that all the energy that eventually became the universe was condensed into a very small space, and the space was unimaginably hot. At some point there was a very rapid expansion (some theorists suggest that at this point even the velocity of light was not a restriction to the speed of the initial expansion). Eventually, the energy was thin and cool enough so that particles began to form. Whether or not the 'big bang' happened in an already formed void (just another word for space) is also not clearly understood.

According to M theory (m for membrane, a development of string theory) there is a possibility that our universe came into being as a result of the collision of two other universes, constructed mathematically as membranes. The collision got the whole thing going, so if this model is right, not even space existed prior to the collision of the two universes. These and other universes may overlap one another, and may exist within dimensions that are folded and locked in matter at the quantum level. The development of our solar system (sun and planets) happened many billions of years after the big bang and the formation of the universe.

What do most scientists believe existed before the incident known as big bang?

Most scientists believe that an infinite dense singularity existed before the incident known as the Big Bang.


What materials created the big bang?

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.


Billions of years ago galaxies existed in?

Galaxies. They are just about the same now as they were then. 14 Billion years ago, astronomers believe that the "Big Bang" created matter from energy, which is how they believe galaxies were formed.


What created the singularity before the Big Bang?

The concept of what existed before the Big Bang is still a topic of scientific debate and exploration. Some theories suggest that a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, existed before the Big Bang. However, the exact cause or origin of this singularity is not yet fully understood by scientists.


What does the big bang theory say about the movement of galaxies?

The Big bang theory states that the galaxies are in fact moving away from each other


What are constellations of the big bang theory?

Constellations are components of galaxies and have little to do with the Big Bang Theory.


Where did the matter for the Big Bang come from?

The matter for the Big Bang is believed to have originated from a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, which existed before the universe began.


What caused the galaxies to cluster after the Big Bang?

Gravitation.


When was thev galaxies made?

Some galaxies would be older than others; the oldest galaxies formed pretty soon after the Big Bang - the oldest known galaxy formed about 750 million years after the Big Bang.


Where did matter come from before the Big Bang?

Before the Big Bang, the origin of matter is not definitively known. Some theories suggest that matter may have existed in a different form or state prior to the Big Bang, but the exact origins remain a topic of scientific inquiry and debate.


What existed before the formation of the universe?

It is not known what happened before; perhaps there wasn't a "before". That is, time itself may have started with the Big Bang.


Why was the big bang theory?

The Big Bang theory was set up to explain observations - for example, the redshift of distant galaxies, which is usually interpreted to mean that the galaxies move away from us.
