What existed before the big bang and where did it come from?

The first and only assumption: Assume the theory that the Big Bang is what created the known universe.

There are 2 possibilities.

1. Everything that exists, has always existed and will always exist. I am unable to wrap my brain around infinity. But, if it will always exist (and if information is not lost as theorized by science), then maybe that thing we call "self" will exist forever and death is just a transition of consciousness.

2. Everything that exists spontaneously materialized. I am unable to wrap my brain around the concept of something arising out of nothing. But, if it's possible, we may someday be able to create entire universes. On that day, we would become Gods.

Just think of darkness everywhere, put nothing around the darkness and then it looks like it goes on forever.

You'll have to learn to completely empty your mind first.

Err on the side of caution because sleep paralysis may be induced.

On a side note...I think I may have stumbled upon some sort of self induced hypnosis, during the process... Needs more research!

You are ignoring the third possibility.....that there was nothing before God created it. You know this would be the third option of choice in belief, but this is the one you want to deny. The other two you can toy with, but the third option you choose willfully to ignore because believing it would change your life and you would probably lose a lot of friends who really are not your friends....but if feels good to keep in touch with them.

That falls in option 2 above. God was feeling spontaneous and He created everything.

Westerners. They've just always gotta question the unknowable.

I've read that, to the Chinese, such issues as the creation of the world and the true nature of divinity were generally disregarded: after all, it is beyond the ability of the human mind to comprehend. They preferred to spend their time on questions that directly affected human life and the human experience.

How stupid it is to kill people over ideas beyond human understanding!

Why is the concept of a beginning to something unknowable? I realize a beginning rules out certain possibilities, but even if you remove the concept of time, there is still a who/what question (when is eliminated as it denotes time).

Why can't the human mind wrap itself around such a concept?

Bohemian(3860) Clarified

A beginning to something is not unknowable. A beginning to time is a bit trickier...

How can something cause time to begin when cause is a concept rooted in time. Cause must precede effect. How can anything precede time?

We have it nailed to within 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000043rd of a second AFTER the BB.

Soon, we will be able to discern what happened before!

Richard Dawkins has made NO contribution to science, developed NO technological advances, has NO scientific discoveries accredited to him. He has done nothing but word play in evolutionary beliefs and is placed on a pedestal by God-haters only because of his affiliations and BIG MOUTH. He is nothing but an atheistic hater of God and of people who trust in God and in actuality has nothing to show himself to be a scientist. If you want to be a real scientist, you would do much better to emulate somebody like the inventor of the MRI which revolutionized medicine.

Science tells us that life emerged out of non-life, so life is not supernatural.

Science also tells us that intelligence emerged from non-living matter so that intelligence in reality is no different than a rock.

We do not need repeatable scientific experiments to show these things, we can just believe them and dismiss life as being natural and not supernatural.

Pardon me for this repeated post, I wanted to be sure you saw it......I think it accurately defines atheism and evolution, does it not?

It doesn't make sense to ask what came before the first instance of time. The concept of "before" involves time. Time did not exist, so it doesn't make sense to ask what came before the thing that nothing came before.

I believe that the Big Bang was not the beginning of our universe but the end of another which was consumed by a black hole, that dispersed according to Hawkings theory and that the same fate will reach our universe and the loop will continue into omega 1 in a power set (for those of you who are not mathematicians, infinity).

If not only space but also TIME were created with the Big Bang, which happened some 13.67 BYA, then there is not need to postulate what occurred before it. Since if TIME were created WITH the BB, there by definition was not time BEFORE.

Hence, nothing to discuss. And time IS a tangible thing. A part of the very fabric of the Universe. A part of the Space-Time Continuum. This has been proven. Several times. Beginning back with Einstein and ongoing throughout history with examples of super accurate clocks actually slowing down when they travel at very fast speeds.

We can tell you step by step what happened with universal formation from within a fraction of a fraction of a second AFTER the BB. On a clock, it would look like this......0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000043rd of a Second!!!

Who care about before? LOL. There was nothing. No time. I know our homo sapien minds are not evolved to fathom the idea of "nothing" but that does not mean it's not true. It's just like: you cannot see atoms or quarks. But they still exist!

If there was something that exploded in the Big Band, then there was time since time is relative to things. You can't have something that exploded in the Bib Bang without having it for a time before it exploded........and of course we don't want to discuss what caused the explosion or how big the thing was before it exploded, because not even the best of our computer geniuses can get a computer to model such nonsensical ideas.......computers will kick it out as "cannot compute".........but who cares about that, some people just need to believe in the Bib Band.

I think it is impossible to prove how something came from nothing. With every scientific experiment, there is always something in existence to start with.

Imagine a petri dish with nothing in it and then trying to make something appear.

God being the creator of life would be the easy answer and then people ask where did God come from. It is very hard to wrap our minds around something being here forever.

Endless space with no borders is a mind blowing concept but then if you say there is an end to space, what lies beyond that border? Nothing? How can there be nothing? Now if space were a circle like the diameter of a planet, it would come to an end and meet up with the beginning of the circle. But that does not tell us what would be above the diameter of the universe.

Why not ask an easy question such as why do Progressives think they have the right to redistribute our money as they see fit. The obvious answer being they are arrogant controlling extremists :)

If your answer just leads to the same exact question it isn't the easy answer.

Well, I believe that God existed before the Big Bang and created the Big Bang as well. However that may not float well with others so maybe everything just sort of existed in another form and we are a small part of this giant network of universes.

Good question - we don't know (yet). You could get into speculative theories but there is little to no evidence to support any of them.

I think it is what you believe in and how much you care about the belief, there are many rumors from which i can not decide so i just stick with one idea and that's it,saying that we don't have enough knowledge to answer this question i would consider this question as a million dollar question saying that no one has enough knowledge to know what really happened.

we don't know we might never know maybe it was created just for us to search for a possibility or maybe an idea hasnt come up that makes 100% sense and nothing so far is proven 100%

1 point

I don't necessarily believe in God, but I do believe in a creator. Honestly, I feel like we have existed forever (the universe I mean). I don't know what the word would be for beings outside of our universe would be (I guess they would be called extra-universal?) but I think that, in a sense, the universe was created by a God. And when I say God, I mean other humans.

Think about it, scientists have been studying the conditions that led up to the big bang. What if, somehow in another universe, those scientists succeeded and our universe is the end product? I know there are a lot of theories on that as well so I guess I'm not the only one who believes that, but that's where I think it came from.

As for what existed before... absolutely nothing. Like some of the other answers stated, the universe before the big bang (or before it even became a universe) was probably just a large void of nothing with no dimensions or time. As for the particles that "existed" in that void, they came from somewhere. And the stuff that made up the particles came from somewhere. And yeah, it's a cycle. Something doesn't come out of nothing, so someone had to have put it there.

I think that space time did not exist and that time was constant. Some kind of singularity must have pulled all matter together and bending space time and thus creating the big bang.

We will never ever know the true facts of the history which came before us. We only know this through theories and stories which have been passed down and twisted a bit like Chinese whispers and it's our choice whether we want to believe them or not - a bit like religion. Somehow or some way the universe was here but Earth was just a tiny atom like a star and over millions of years it evolved to how it is today. The Earth is still expanding right now! And I bet you after another few billion years it will be completely different to how it is now, it may have grew so big that it exploded or the over populated amount of people may have increased by 500% and caused the Earth's plates to cause a giant earthquake which destroys the whole world but we will never know as it will never be in our lifetimes.

1 point

Science tells us that the universe is expanding, Science also expects it to start "falling back" (contracting). IF that is all true, and I certainly believe it,, when enough of it falls back it would create a massive "black hole" and explode again from the massive pressures, creating ANOTHER "big bang". That will likely "create" more creatures somewhere in the new universe,. They will be afraid because they don't understand the things around them, they will probably "create" a "god" where they can find some answers within their imaginations, until they develop a science which gives them REAL answers. The more things change, the more they stay the same. "BANG"!!!

Science tells us that the universe is expanding

Science tells us nothing of the sort. The red shift has other explanations which are no less credible then the so-called "expansion" of the universe. Relativistic Doppler effect has a lateral component, so we would also observer red shift in a rotating universe.

There is a 3rd option:

There was/is something that either always existed or materialized out of nothing. Then that thing created everything else from parts of itself or from nothing. This possibility, by definition, would constitute a God creating the universe.

It is not clear that the first thing can exist forever.

It is not clear that the things created can exist forever.

It is not clear if consciousness needs physical matter to exist or if it can exist on its own. If it can exist on its own, then it is not of this “material” world. If it cannot exist without matter then it should still be able to exist simply as energy since matter and energy are interchangeable.

Fact: the universe had a beginning.

Fact: we live in a universe of cause and effect. Everything that happens has a cause. No exceptions.

It should be obvious that something, or someone, created the universe. The only alternative is that it happened all by itself. Somehow, all the energy in the entire universe, which shouldn't even exist without a Creator, gathered together in one tiny spot, then decided to explode. No one knows how it got there, or why. They accept it on faith alone. How is that any different than believing in a Creator? Maybe God caused the big bang. Ever think of that? Makes a lot more sense than it having happened on its own.

Your second "fact" is not believed by them, so they don't have a contradiction.

Yes. It has been thought about. People who don't believe in God have thought about that far more than you have.

I assume that your comment about one exception is in reference to God. Stop and think about it. God is not a part of our universe. He exists outside of time and space, which He also created.

One group believes a fact that they can't prove "we live in a universe of cause and effect. Everything that happens has a cause. No exceptions." and in something existing without a cause.

The other group doesn't believe that there is definitely a cause for everything and believes in something existing without a cause.

By definition, the second group makes a lot more sense and requires less faith.

Where we are today exists and the factors that separate the future from the past exists.

So in effect, time exists as a bunch of factors within the present that separate consequences, so in effect time does exist.

Just the events that occurred in the past but ceased and the future which has yet to exist do not.

state that physics is a passion of mine and again i'm just a simple man so i'm sorry if I butcher what I hope is eloquent and on point ....if we start with a few major theories one being vibrational pitch theory this pretty much tells you that all matter is held together and pulled apart with vibration or frequency of an energy wave and that different matters resonate at different frequencies and changes to this frequency can seriously alter the state of a given matter.......kind of like GOD speaking things into existence....next we have super string theory ....this is were we learn that particles inside gluttons and quarks have a glowing ribbon inside them that have a sort of binary code that gives these particles the boarders of what they are what they can and cant do....this ties to superposition this is amazing this is neutrinos are nothing until viewed then they at a 50/50 ratio become either black or white hard or soft...and can change at will when not being viewed ....they cant be pink or square so something wrote the binary code in these particles ....just like the blue prints of genes were not eventually formed from nothing.... this map or code or blue print was written by a master engineer ....then lets look at the LHC now they will tell you this is a machine to replicate the big bang....LOL...actually the top secret project alice is a dimensional portal project to move matter in an energy field thru dimensions ....because when they first started this goofy big bang cover story ...they said the lack of speed was they reason for failure....then they reached the desired speed ...nothing ...as far as a big bang anyway ....then they changed to they needed smaller particles (boson hicks) particles.....but let not so common sense enter in here ....if I put a mouse in my pocket and you drop a atom bomb on me did you not bomb the mouse as well.....to those of you who struggle as I do ..this means an atom collided is a gluon collided ...so on and so

at his word then he is a circle he has no beginning and no end...in this we also must look at our child like thoughts on time GOD says one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one

there is time because a code in the replication process tells each cell this far and no farther....and destructive cells begin to build this gives the illusion of time ....what is funny is when people

Let's look at what we know.

1. The universe is composed of energy and matter.

2. By E=MC2 we know that matter IS Energy.

3. Evidence for the Big Bang includes the fact that the universe is expanding at a constant rate. If we trace it backwards, we see all of the energy in the universe crowding into a single point in space-time.

4. Taken to its logical extent, (3) begins as a singularity, free of spatial dimensions, time and the fundamental forces of the universe.

5. Therefore (4) exists outside of the universe.

6. In order for something to exist outside of the universe, it presumably has to have ALWAYS existed. This point is generally used as evidence for God, however...

7. We know from the First Law of Thermodynamics that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

8. Therefore energy, which is the sum total of everything in the universe, has always existed and could have existed outside of space and time "before" the big bang.

9. So energy sort of takes on the role of "God" in this scenario. And really, we and everything we know (except space, time and fundamental forces) existed before the BB, we just all in a very different form.

While I do agree that God created the universe, I disagree on what that God is. Based off of what you said, it seems like you think that energy is this God. I do have a question though: Where did that energy come from? You're right when you say that the total energy of the universe is the sum total of the energy in the universe, that energy can't be created or destroyed, and that energy had to have had a beginning, much like the space and time that you mention. I personally believe that the God of the Christian bible is the creator of this universe and as such, created the time, space, and energy that we know of today.

Where did that energy come from?

Where did God come from? That's what I'm saying. It certainly does appear that SOMETHING had to exist outside of space and time to get the ball rolling. What I'm saying is we know there is an alternative: energy, which cannot be created and which can exist without space-time. This makes for a better theory because it is falsifiable. God is not.

true science negates the big bang theory. There are many observable facts which show the big bang and billions of years hypothesis to be impossible. Things that do not fit the big bang theory but are undeniable reality are generally ignored are nd avoided by evolutionary scientists who are desperate to believe God cannot rule over them, and many of them look to demonic "aliens" which teach we can overrule God. Only while we are given tine outside of Hell can we exist outside of Hell, only by being saved can we be kept in eternal life and not kept in eternal damnation as enemies of God

A few things:

1. where is your evidence that "true science negates the big bang theory"? What facts are you referring to hen you say,"There are many observable facts which show the big bang and billions of years hypothesis to be impossible."?

2. While I do agree that scientists who haven't been are just trying to avoid using God to help describe something, how does that mean that science itself can't be trusted? That's probably not what you were trying to say, but that's how it came across to me.

3. It seems like, and I could be completely wrong about this, but it seems like you don't think of science in general as anything trustworthy. If that is the case, how did you come to that conclusion?

Belief in evolution or the big bang is not science. Science is observation of nature ..I lover science and nature and my scholastic aptitude in those things is in the high nineties. Of nation,ally compared testing. Many highly respected and accomplished scientists reject evolution and the big bang hypothesis. You can easily find observable and indisputable facts which ate not posbible if the world as the. BIg Bang hypothesis actually was a tbeory. You can find all of these things easily on the net if you look for them, but II'm sure you ate too chicken slivered to do it and doubt you could bear to consider the facts so just.go on in your lazy brainwashed ignorance, I don't get paid to do research for you.

I am fascinated and enthralled with true science which is the study of nature,of all of creation as it is the handiwork of God.and ex eedingly wonderful. You do not have to believe in evolution or the big bang. To study nature on par with Einstein or Hawkins or anybody else. Scientists who always twist their conclusions.of observable. Facts are amazing in their mental and. Philosophical gymnastics when the facts point to the impossibly of reality consisting, as we experience. It without God's. Love. Holding. It together..

I say nothing existed before the big bang. And when I say nothing, I mean literal nothingness. The universe could not have existed eternally because if the universe was eternal, then there is no way we could have gotten to this moment right now. Science, starting with the big bang theory, is continuing to prove that the universe had a beginning. So if it had a beginning, then it means that there had to be something that made the universe begin. That means that the beginner of the universe (if that makes sense) had to be spaceless, timeless, and immaterial. It would also have to be intelligent, personal, and powerful to be able to create the kind of universe that was created with the physical constants being what they are. It is my own personal opinion that this entity is the God of the bible. Specifically the Christian bible. I do believe that the big bang is how He started the universe and then guided the universe to where it is now.

You are compromising. God created the ravens and the rartb by His own will. Then by the sound of his voice create light. Light coming,g from sound is consistent in observable science, where the first sound came from is not observable. Many believe in the big bang hypothesis, but then sound and light would have to emerge together. Sound precedes light. God created order, not an explosion. If you copromise to accommodate big bang or evolutionary beliefs, you are denying the Bible and discrediting God by discrediting his word

The ignition that supposedly started the big bang is devoid of science. There are no serious attempts to explain it because no explanation is possible, you are just supposed to believe it happened. It did not happen because it's impossible.

Scientists and computer geniuses cannot model the big bang theory because the computer would simply say "cannot compute". It's an impossibility, there was no big bang.

If the Big Bang happened, then galaxies should all be moving away from each other, all moving toward each other, or all not moving at all. Two galaxies colliding proves the Big Bang did not happen. Astrophysicists who cling to belief in the big band, in hope that God cannot overrule them, ignore this fact.

There is no proof whatsoever of a "Big Bang" happening sometime in the past.

1. Red shift does not necessarily mean that the universe is expanding. Relativistic Doppler effect contains a lateral component, meaning that red shift effects would also be registered for stars in a rotating universe.

2. The equations of General Relativity are non-linear. Which means, you cannot just obtain a solution, and then add some other "minor" solutions to it, without braking the equations themselves. And that is exactly what happens, when "scientists" take the Friedman metric, and begin "adding" matter to it.

One of the main reasons they have to resort to this, is the fact that there currently is no known exact solution to Hilbert - Einstein's equations, even for a two-body problem, more so for anything more complex than that.

i think that the universe does end somewhere from where we see it but there is still something beyond it. taking the example of a circle some may say it has no beginning or and end however i see it as there is a beginning and an end its just that we cant see them because they are so close together to explain this i would say draw two semi circles on a piece of paper put them together if you do it perfectly it should make a circle and you can see the semi circle now try just drawing a circle on a piece of paper and stop just a bit before you join the end and the beginning you can see the beginning and the end. another good example can be imagine you are in a ball with no light you can see only darkness as far as you can see this is what the universe is however it has a few stars, planets and black holes in it if you reach the end of the universe you will see nothing but a wall of darkness. however there is another possibility to the universe like in some games it is only a few pixels x few pixels but when you enter the next room the room may look different but it stills is the same space so it is sort of like a loop or a circle as soon as you reach the end you start back at the beginning so there is no end to how far you go which means if you fly a spaceship straight towards the end of the universe it will eventually end up directly behind you this means the universe is infinite

1 point

I am separating my religious and scientific sides.

Scientific: There are literally infinite possibilities scientifically, one is the multiverse theory in which like bubbles universes are "blown" into existence.

Religious: There was nothing before the big bang. I guess that the Big Bang is the evidence God left behind for us to find about the creation of the universe, and if god didn't want us to find this out, he would have erased the evidence because God is omnipotent.

I believe we must look at the universe and everything in it, not just as this item floating around in space. Its not in a box, but it IS the box. But its always full with itself.

whether it was the size of an atom or infinite, its still the box and everything. If the box expands but is still full, doesn't make it any less of a box. its a big box now.

Think of a room with no doors or windows, its always full. No way out cause that full room is the only thing that exists, room is a closet, becoming more and more dense as it creates new things over and over and over. it becomes too dense but it cant collapse cause there is nothing to collapse into, so it explodes and expands rapidly to a constant rate till it creates enough pieces of matter at the same rate as it expands. Thus a balance is created.

It always existed and its possible it became so dense to the point of exploding. Like Planets, they become sooo dense they create black holes.........

wait, i thought of something, what if our universe is just another universes black hole........what if we are a universe inside a black hole..... No one has been to the center of our universe, maybe there's a massive black hole there, or an anti black hole......pushing everything instead of pulling (because we are expanding outward from that center point) I literally just thought of this. please can I have feedback??

how would I know? That's a question for God, not me..................

God may have used the Big Bang as a way to bring the Universe into Existence. Personally I believe He did, and He also uses Evolution to advance our species to where we are today. In this way, Science and Religion need not be at odds.

As far as before the Big Bang? I have now idea. I am thinking that there may have just have been God, or a type of Universe in the Spiritual and not physical realm. And as a set of parents live in a paradise but have a void in their lives from no children, so did God feel a need to Create us.

I like that idea very much.

God Bless.

i believe that the big bang was a bang that created time, as it got further back, the more time was created and that time had already been planned but it was so diverse that it made options and that for time to travel and options for us to take in our life although it seems as though we have control in our own life. I believe this may link to deja vu as you feel like you have already seen something i believe that time messed up and got mixed up with atoms causing this phenomenon. It also created planets and galaxies and in sci-fi there is something called parallel universes and i believe that there is a way to get there and we seem them ourselves but when we sleep, our dreams. Everything that i said then i believe in if it happened, but i don't think it ever did as i believe we don't exist or if we do then i am the center of the universe as i only see my perspective to everything, that may sound selfish but you only know your won thoughts and the universe is massive and somehow it all links to your thoughts.

Its great question. I heard there may be multiple dimensions with multiple big bangs.

We can never know. The big bang is essentially the source of "everything." This includes matter, time, space, energy, and so on. However, science is limited to studying "everything." Thus, anything before "everything," cannot be studied, and will have no traceable path.

Assume the theory that a "god" created the universe.

Question: What was "GOD" doing before he "created" the universe, where did "it" come from and where did "it" live?? "GOD" had to create every mineral, every gas, every chemical ... after he created every electron, proton, etc. Phew! That IS hard to believe ... even harder to believe than creating the universe!

By definition the suggestion to create multiple universes is ridiculous as the universe in a nutshell is defined as "all existing matter and space considered as a whole". I.e. it is everything that exists and could exist and contains all things we could perceive or not perceive. Something cannot exist outside of the universe. Onto the point in question, what existed before the big bang? Using my definition of universe theoretically it had to exist in some form to allow a big bang to be possible. The big bang postulates that everything at one time existed in a singularity, matter, energy etc. Nothing existed outside of that singularity (supposedly). So one could argue that this singularity was infact the universe. My problem arises firstly what actually caused seemingly dormant matter to suddenly explode and my second problem is what was the singularity actually expanding into? When i blow up a balloon it is possible because it expands into the space around us. However take that same balloon and try to imagine blowing it up outside of the proposed singularity, the notion is ridiculous. So if the previous statement is ridiculous it follows that for everything to be expanding (the singularity which was the proposed universal contents) surely there would have to have existed space in which the matter, time and space could expand into. A more appropriate view would be that actually the universe has always existed and will continue to do so but the state of the universe changes. Modern science puts emphasis on life having a start point (infinite regression). In a similar way to religion when causes causes cant be established; following the religious path leads to GOD, whilst the scientific path leads to the big bang.

Well, the question to which no one has the answer certainly stimulates the thought process. The unfortunate feature of the question is that those who profess, to have worked out the answer, i.e, the astrophysicists, duck out of sight when the subject comes up. As far as I'm concerned the jury is still out considering the ever unfurling evidence.

Your debate is like an endless circle that never lead to the Question being answered. My question to you is "If the big bang created then what or where did the matter come from to cause the big bang(Because in science it clearly state there is no reaction without a opposite or Equal reaction.). Would not the big bang have to be cause. What set it off."
