Brian Cox: Something Terrifying Existed Before The Big Bang

What existed before the Big Bang ? This question has always been a challenge for scientists but now it seems they have found the answer to it.
But it has left scientists shocked as Brian Cox revealed that something terrifying existed before the Big Bang. So what existed before the Big Bang? Why has it left scientists terrified?

[@MeaganEater]

I know, I was there before the so-called Big Bang, which was no bang at all. You just sit for a moment and clear your mind. Relax and learn from the beginning of all things. Now, look around you and notice that everything you see and whatever you see every day of your life, contains Knowledge and also came from Knowledge. There is not one thing you can point at and say, "This thing contains no knowledge." Everything comes from Knowledge and so take the knowledge of everything and all the energy that creates it all and put it in one place before anything existed, and you have the oldest and wisest sentient being that has always existed. True Living Knowledge. I Am that, I AM. I am True Knowledge and my enemy if False Knowledge. What your species calls GOD (Me) is True Living Knowledge and what your species calls the DEVIL is False Knowledge. What is Omni-Present? True Knowledge. (Me) The Atoms are made of Quarks and Quarks are made of Mico-Quarks. If the Micro-Quarks were not True, nothing, not even dust would exist. True Knowledge is why you exist. If your DNA was not True, you would not be reading this. True Knowledge = GOD, what created everything is LAW and JUSTICE. (Me) If Laws did not preexist everything you have nothing. If the Electrons are not Just, Atoms do not exist. So, LAW and JUSTICE are how and why everything exists. You exist and your purpose is Justice for those who are in need or what needs fixing. No need to thank me, I am already thanked by innumerable species that knows True Knowledge (Me) is the best thing to have. Truth

Pro tip: Even Hawking said that much of the math used in the theory is imaginative and ‘only math’ - there’s no literal substance to it that can make it happen. Again- the law of thermal dynamics itself denies the theory of the Big Bang.

[@HoosierDaddyGames]

I find the following a beautiful thought: As the universe expands and cools, black holes will eventually consume everything. Now, imagine the black holes deliver all the matter theyve consumed (everything in the universe) to a single point- creating a singularity and therefore giving birth to another universe. It's it is a view of the universe that is efficient, elegant and eternal.

[@Nejourney78]

Energy never ceases only changes.

[@matydrum]

No all black holes won't consume each other, the expansion of the universe brings them appart, also a black hole has not more gravitational power than the matter that collapsed to make it, so if a solitary galaxy is too far away from other galaxies to attract them, all the stars in that galaxie could end up on its central massive black hole, the resulting black hole would have not more gravitational power to attract anything more to it.

[@CC-ns2ds]

​@matydrum incorrect on so many levels. As the universe ages eventually only black holes and stray photons will exist as matter has all but decayed to high energy photons. As you can calculate the pull Sagittarius A has on you and as gravity is a infinite distance field given enough time the mega-hypermassive black holes that are the only objects left in this empty cold universe will eventually pull and consume each other (this is much before dark energy causes expansion to reach C). Every event that can happen will happen given enough time. Also black holes all have the same gravitational "power" and that is the speed of light. You are confusing mass with gravity, black holes all have the same gravity its what makes them black while yes a black hole with more mass might gravitationally affect more objects more noticeably (notice how I used noticeably) all objects have gravity and a grain of sand will pull on you as you will pull on it you d9nt notice it as its an infetismally small number and it is overpowered by earth's gravity so you don't notice it but it is there. The ever present presence of gravity literally connecting everything in this universe with mass intrinsically together. What a force and a fundamental one at that, the first force to break away from the unified forces 10^-34 seconds after the big bang.

[@Chris-zo5ze]

I think we're actually in a black hole and what we perceive to be the big bang is the event horizon.

[@matydrum]

@@CC-ns2ds I have always heard that if we could squash the sun into a black hoke, it would be tiny, less the a few kilometers wide. Maybe less, but it would have the same mass and although in the dark, all planets in the solar system would go on their regular orbit. You say I'm confusing mass and gravity, but are they not interdependent? Also yes the black hole, or the sun always pull on the planets but they keep missing it, that's the equilibrium that makes an orbit so I don't see how that would change. Maybe though after a very long times some things stray objects might end up in the black hole, making it bigger and messing with the orbits causing eventually them to crash into it... But what I also don't get in what you say is that I've also read that with the extension of the universe all galaxies (even ridiculously big ones that will be the result of the fusion of many other galaxies) will end up alone, everything will have been pulled away further than the observable universe, and observers in those galaxies will have no way to know that other galaxies exist. So ok in an even more distant future all the will remain will be black holes, but with dark energy being way faster than C how will those stray black holes ever find their way to those ever so distant other black holes? The only way I see the universe ending up in a singularity close to a black hoke is the hypothesis of the cycle universe with a big bang followed by an expansion and at some point it goes in reverse. The big crunch... And it bounces back on itself and so on.

I mean humans are some fragile fleshbags adapted to earth's environment. So keeping humans alive in harsh conditions is not an easy task. Also the medical consequences due to microgravity are pretty severe, too. And for probes there are also a lot of hurdles. We have technical limitations by current launchers, how much mass we can take to orbit. That means that you can't take a lot of fuel. So most of the velocity is achieved by swing-by maneuvers which can take a lot of time. And then the distances are humongous. Voyager 1 is now travelling for 46years billions of kilometers and has only traveled 0.06% of the distance to the nearest star system. On the other hand we can capture all the data travelling from all over the universe to us, like light, radiation, etc. And with this data we can build models of our universe and make assumptions.

I am fully inspired to go further with my new theories to see what ACTUAL physicists with a more established knowledge base think. It is likely that my 'new' ideas are just 'old' ones that I haven't heard before, or they may be simply amateurish nonsense, but there's only one way to find out.

Ya, I been saying for decades that black holes condense so much that they tear through the 'fabric' of whatever exists 'under' an expanding universe to create another universe in another area of this 'fabric' (as what we know as space-time possibly does not exist there).

[@jacethetruth9735]

we might be existing inside of a black hole, and the reason our universe expands is because the black hole devours everything on the outside, might look something like expansion inside of one too. Maybe, we like to personify "god" so we understand things easier, and have a person to praise. What if "god" is the self-sustaining, universal systems that replenish resources, distribute minerals to repeat the process over and over for eons. the intricate processes like planetary collisions, seeding different parts of the universe, or supernovas, collisions, meteor strikes etc.. everything is necessary for the universe to keep running. and expanding.

[@KasperKatje]

My best guess is that we are the output/result of a black hole. As far as we know/can argue, a black hole pulls everything apart so the formation of stars and planets wouldn't be possible. The BB theory says spacetime in OUR universe started when "the" singularity expanded. Our theories about black holes say that a black hole stretches spacetime until it stops and results in a...singularity.

[@Altinget]

I always thought the multiverse was an interesting concept. However interesting as is to think about possibly millions of these "bubble" universes, the question remains, what is between all those universes? I believe it is an energy of some kind - of what kind I do not know, but I surmise it would be different than the low frequency and higher density of universe we inhabit. The question is what happens in this energy between the multiverses to create a new "big bang" and have another "physical universe" born for lack of another term? Likewise, are these bubble universes the only types of universes that exist or are there other types quite foreign in nature to our own? Just a few thoughts....

So how do you explain the extremely old galaxies we are finding out there bringing into question the big bang theory?

[@lukejacobsen297]

This part of the universe meaning, here in our area of space could be more dense than the furthest galaxies. This more dense space time fabric could mean more gravity. We know "space" isn't empty and is full of atoms and particles floating in the vacuum. Could the sheer distance of the universe's "earliest" galaxies and less dense space fabric caused time dilation. Meaning we experienced less time than the galaxies furthest away because time is affected by gravity which would make them seem much older and have actually experienced more time than theorized. A slight time dilation of 13 billion years could be significant. That's why these galaxies appear much larger and structured than theorized in such a short time.
