Before the Big Bang?

Hi:

What happened before the big bang?

Sadly, its a question that can't be answered, yet its so interesting.

Something like this question may be answerable. Time is a property of
our universe, and it began when the universe began, so the concept of
"before" isn't easily defined. However, if theory and experiment
ultimately support the existence of one or more hyperuniverses, then the
_cause_ of the Big Bang in that larger context could be understood, even
if "before" isn't exactly the right way of putting it.

....which of course won't keep it from being argued about endlessly on
Usenet.

Doesn't one invoke the weak anthropic principle round about here?

Simple...:
Exactly the same what happened after the big bang. The only thing is: WE
cannot experience it. It's called: eternity...

From the conservation of energy and matter, before the big bang there was
energy.

So we do not know what the world was like back then
Either way it does not seem very conducive to life

But there must have been something that suited life
Otherwise we would not be here

My own opinion on the subject was that at those times the electromagnetic
interaction had the opposite sign to what it has now. Like charges
attracted, opposite charges repelled.

Result: all the matter in the universe gathered together in one place, all
the antimatter gathered at the hyperspherical antipodes of that place.

Over the gigayears this homophilic EM interaction weakened, passed through
zero and out the other side. The moment of zero crossing was what we
conventionally refer to as the Big Bang. Since then we have the homophobic
EM force that we know today.

This theory explains inflation (an ever-strengthening EM force since the BB)
and the fact that there is only matter in our vicinity (we haven't met the
antimatter yet).
