If the Big Bang was the start of the universe, if that event created all that exists in this vast cosmos and what we have and experience today, what was before that event? What was before that event that caused that Big Bang to occur? Something must have triggered it. Some cause must have lead to the event of the Big Bang and to the creation of the universe, the existence that we have today.
The confusion I have in my head.. is that, everything in this universe exists by definition as a part of this universe. Everything is made up of the same building blocks the same basic principles that constructs the nature of the universe. The universe is the framework from which its parts are formed from. The parts enclosed can not be made up of anything which exists outside or is foreign to the nature of the universe. As a result, because the fabric of this universe is that of space-time, space-time was created due to the Big Bang. The creation of the universe created space and also created time. Without space there can be no time, and without time there can be no space. To get from point A to point B requires time. The confusion is.. if space and time were given birth to by the Big Bang, what then was before the Big Bang?
Does that mean then, that a cause which lead to the effect of the creation of the universe, and with it, space-time that transcends the nature of space-time? Is space-time a subset of something greater? Did time even exist before the Big Bang? If time did not exist before the Big Bang and the creation of the universe how then, did the Big Bang occur?
