Brian Cox - What Was There Before The Big Bang?

the only answer is that there is no matter or space, everything we perceive is just an illusion created by a god.
admittedly the origin of that god is equally absurd, but it's still more logical than a material universe.

and on the seventh day....just before the big bang....God created...METALLICA...

“And the answer to that is:- we don’t know” just about sums up everything we know about why we’re here and the meaning of life.

Questions....
If there are multiple universes, then what lies between and around them?
Or are they all next to each other like apartments?

If the universe has no edges or end, then doesn't that mean the observable universe, no matter how much it expands, is forever a mere dot in the middle?

How is it that in the beginning there was nothing, then nothing somehow exploded and created everything?
What could've caused such a phenomenon to occur?
If something cause nothing to explode, then was something there before nothing happened that somehow generated something to cause nothing to suddenly explode into everything today?

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!😭😮‍💨😫

There was no "Big Bang".....

What an absolute clown 🤡 never trust anyone that smiles all the time

Ahhh the big bang, the same force making your nails and hair grow.

If an infinite number of universes exist, that would mean they are “produced” by the same source right? Or maybe not, we don’t know. If it were the same catalyst or whatever that inflated our universe then why would the laws of physics differ universe to universe?

You could in theory have an infinite number of universes that are identical, existing 0.00000000000001 (more zeroes) seconds ahead or behind one another.

Say for example in a factory, same chocolate, same production process, same chocolate bar comes out the the end. (I know this is more complex than that, I’m genuinely trying to understand)

Where's "Q" when you need him??

So where did all that mass come from before the big bang?

I just watched this and had an existential crisis 😮

I’m sorry. But there’s too many contradictions here. The singularity implies nothing existed accept for that singular thing which in time burst forth an explosion of everything within the universe. Furthermore, inflation theory tells us that the period of time before the Big Bang was extremely cold, almost at absolute zero, and it was empty of everything but empty space, and that empty space carried energy that stretched the universe out to this enormous size and into the initial state before the Big Bang. But if nothing existed, that would include molecules. The acceleration or deceleration of molecules determines the range of temperature. But if nothing existed, how then can there be temperature. The problem here is that the expectation of cosmologist and theoretical physicists is that to make some sense of the universe, we need to approach it empirically, and that the truth of it must fit within the profane world. Truth doesn’t always work that way. Something just can’t be negated because we don’t currently understand it.

Haha what utter nonsense.. They will come with anything other than God did it..

I think the basic idea behind Isaac Asimov's 'The Last Question' is probably true

Theory.....what we think happened....guess work

Some scientists don’t like the principles of logic and mathematics but I find in this situation they’re far more helpful than scientific theory or the application of the scientific method.
Logic would tell us that infinity doesn’t exist. Even in mathematics, it’s easy to fall into a trap of thinking we can always just add 1.
In truth, the infinite can only ever be potential. A potential infinite is a series which has a beginning and is growing indefinitely; infinity serves merely as an ideal limit of the series which it never reaches. An actual infinite is a collection which includes an infinite number of members, that is, the numbers of members in the collection exceeds any natural number. Counting generates a potential infinite. To say that someone could count to infinity is to say that a potential infinite could be converted into an actual infinite by adding one member at a time. That’s impossible, since for any natural number n, n+1 is always a finite number.

What came before inflation? Liz Truss!!!!!!

Blows my mind, you cant picture infinite, our problems are insignificant to the universe.

Everything that you need to know about the beginning of the Universe can be found in the first chapter of the Holy Bible.

Before the Big Bang there was two horny people.🤣

If the universe is expanding what’s it expanding into - is there a name for the area that our universe is expanding into - LORD MERSY - WHAT A MORONIC QUESTION TO EVEAN PONDER MUCH LESS TO ACTUALLY GIVE A THSI - I’M REALLY WIRED TONIGHT SO I THOUGHT I WOULD UNLOAD ON YOU COSMOS FREAKS :-)

I personally like Sir Roger Penrose CCC theory.

How limited our knowledge is we don't know how we got started and what fundamentally we are made-up of and where we are expanding into amazing right and we are left with speculation if someone deny the creator.

Odd that he says our universe is perfect for life. As far as we know, only planet Earth is.

Before the big bang.. there was foreplay.

Sorry if the question sounds dumb, but do you think space time or black matter came from the big bang too? Or was the big bang the origin of concrete matter and light only?

As someone who believes in a Creator, I love this kind of stuff (just how vast everything is). Whether one believes in a Creator or not, it's still a mind-boggling thing to ask when just space came into existence. In other words, science can't explain how space alone existed into eternity back.

Big Black Cox

I really think we will never find out...just like we were not meant to leave here

Of course this all points to a creator that lives outside are universe. God.

What comes before inflation. That’s easy. It’s a Democrat. However it doesn’t require reasoning or brains.

Before the Big Bang: "Look what I've found in the barn! Let's light and see if it goes boom.."

Thats why you need the FED to fight inflation

Uh...the little bang??

They call this science? I call it guesswork, Where is his proof, He speaks like he knows what he is talking about by your guess is as good as his.

Jeez… it takes a whole lot more faith to believe in this than to just believe that God created it all lol. They even admit they aren’t even sure about what they’re talking about.

Well I now know how the universe was made, so I went to home hardware bought some stuff ,, told the wife Id be down in the basement building my own , turned out not too bad, now she can bake her apple pie like Carl Sagan
requested

My question is where did space come from? space itself? It just always was?...or GOD? Mind boggling.

After hearing this I dont feel significant enough to got o work tomorrow

Colliding membranes caused the big bang but what caused the membranes to exist? There has to be something that always existed to get things started.

it is impossible for life, matter, or anything to exist, unless there is something that exists through eternity. i.e has always existed. that is God , eternal. God has always been God. from everlasting to everlasting he is God Almighty creator of the universe. He is the creator of all things. he was never created or started, and he has no end, He is the Alpha and Omega.

There never was a "big bang"

The question is what made reality. There had to be an reality for those events to take place at all

This solidifies that “religion” was “just created”

But where did the actual energy universe start from?? B

The thing that upsets me the most about the end of life, is knowing that the advance of technology one day will most likely answer all these questions that we have about the Universe. But i’ll be long gone to know about it.

Silly title. Since the Big Bang is generally understood to be the beginning of Space AND TIME, the answer to the question 'what was there before the big bang?' makes absolutely zero sense.

The universe is the shape of a scrolling doughnut….it is expanding and contracting at the same time. Homer Simpson approves

Whoever wrote this needs to look up the meaning of the prefix uni. It means one. So how the deuce can there be more than one UNIverse? The UNIverse is ALL ENCOMPASSING.

One day scientists will come to conclusion that all what around us was created by Almighty God . God just leading them to that final answer even they full of arrogance and disbelief they one day will have no option then believe that all was created with purpose and has end with a judgment day. Because if God created something he is higher being and won’t do anything for fun . He has a purpose. And he gave us enough brain to find out that purpose and also he sent prophets and messages helping us to understand that purpose. Torah, Bible, Quran - last one .
