Brian Cox: Something Terrifying Existed Before The Big Bang!

I watch these videos on occasion, but I can't understand this stuff.

Brian Cox? Your message is rendered irrelevant.

time did not exist before the bing bang, there was no "before"

[@siegfriedmordrake3229]

Not sure that's true. If we imagine time as some sort of box enclosing our universe, it existed before the big bang. But your take is interesting and makes me want to have a closer look at the subject

[@siegfriedmordrake3229]

@@snowflakesfell4407 I still don't quite agree because without time there is no movement and without movement there can be no big bang. But again, interesting take

[@snowflakesfell4407]

@@siegfriedmordrake3229 there would be no movement since there is no time and space, just a condensed energy in a singularity where mass is approaching infinity and volume is approaching 0, it has expanded into the matter we see today. E=mc^2 this is proven by nuclear weapons

Time is also relative, it is not a fixed constant. Mass affects its rate. With more mass, there is more gravity which can essential stop time. On the opposite end of that is zero mass and no gravity, time may not even exist. In our universe there is matter everywhere essentially and thus mass.
