This is almost impossible to get your head around and the fact that scientists think that at the very second before the Big Bang, the universe was no more than about one centimetre in size, from which all of us were created.
And what was there before the Big Bang?
Fascinating!!!! Our feeble minds just cannot fathom the Big Bang!!!
I actually have an interest in this and I highly reccomend the book "Big Bang" by Simon Singh. It describes the birth and history of physics and in turn astrophysics in a storytelling manner and as the name suggests culminates with the discovery of the Big Bang. For want of a better description, it is an idiot's guide to the subject. I have read it at least five times.
To answer the question, it remains one of the things that calls into question the concept of the Big Bang. It's an endless game of "so, what came before." If the universe came from surroundings of hot dense gases reaching into infinity, is the universe still within that mass and if so, that suggests more universes likely exploded from within it. As that mass is possibly infinite, all possibilities are also infinite, which means our exact universe has already happened an infinite number of times.
Infinity and nothingness are things humans cannot comprehend, hence our need to create religons. For what it's worth, I believe in god but also the Big Bang.
So far, it's only conjecture, something I could easily say. Whether anyone would believe me, is another matter. OK, I know a lot of people are not going to believe me because I don't have a scientist tag to my name
Believe what?
Anything I would say on this matter
None of us are astrophysicsts here, shoot away we're all guessing.
