Our universe started with the big bang. But only for the right definition of “our universe”. And of “started” for that matter. In fact, probably the Big Bang is nothing like what you were taught.
A hundred years ago we discovered the beginning of the universe. Observations of the retreating galaxies by Edwin Hubble and Vesto Slipher, combined with Einstein’s then-brand-new general theory of relativity, revealed that our universe is expanding. And if we reverse that expansion far enough - mathematically, purely according to Einstein’s equations, it seems inevitable that all space and mass and energy should once have been compacted into an infinitesimally small point - a singularity. It’s often said that the universe started with this singularity, and the Big Bang is thought of as the explosive expansion that followed. And before the Big Bang singularity? Well, they say there was no “before”, because time and space simply didn’t exist. If you think you’ve managed to get your head around that bizarre notion then I have bad news. That picture is wrong. At least, according to pretty much every serious physicist who studies the subject. The good news is that the truth is way cooler, at least as far as we understand it.

It's been so everywhere, you don't need a where. You don't even need a when. That's how "every" it gets. ... Forget this. I wanna be something. Go somewhere. Do something. I want things to change. I want to invent time and space, and I know it's possible because everything is here, and it probably already happened. I just don't know when to start, and that's exactly where it started.

    6:00 i'm an artist, a graphic designer, and an animator, i worked on the 1999 BBC "the planets" series, and i've done numerous videos for ESA and in program graphics, so i like to visualise stuff, i watched a sabine hossenfelder video this morning about this very subject. i have to say though i find it incredibly hard to visualise a singularity becoming an infinite size, and in fact i thought i had heard that hawking had done away with the singualrity, er, thing. anyway, when it comes to tiny things being infinitly big, this is why i like penrose aeons, he implies that as the end of the universe has only photons moving at lightspeed, size and time have no meaning, so no matter how "big" the universe has become in it's expansion, it now has no "size" and we have our "singularity and a big bang again. only as time has only just started, it's the first big bang. 6:27 ahhhh..... it's an uncomfortable thought but just as we have only the one life, and that is so hard to accept we invented relgion, maybe there is going to be just the one universe, this is it, never to be repeated. even more reason to try to leave a (good) mark.

    Ironically for the next break through in science, we need someone who is not stuck thinking maths is the best method in measuring everything. Maybe there's something else? And by the way I don't mean supernaturally (because it sounded like that). I mean someone who can think outside of known science. Therefore you're in with a chance still, even without the expertise in maths. ;)

You'd be laughed out of any scientific establishment if you posed an idea that's *too* whack, y'know? Just look at cold fusion for an example. That could've worked, but due to the controversy, it flopped... Even though we only just need to figure out how to create muons reliably for less than 1GeV. Or another example: string theory. That's widely no longer accepted and is very rarely discussed because it's largely unfalsifiable.

    Might the "now" moment be how decoherence is expressed in the time dimension of space-time? So, in space we experience solid matter (as opposed to the wave it emerged from) and in time we experience the "now". The implication would be that time is emergent from mass, not fundamental. Also, the arrow of time would therefore be the result of our continuously expanding universe, which in turn "stretches" all matter, which in turn generates a continuous flow of new "now" moments. Another implication of this way of thinking is that entropy is the result of our expanding universe.

    Affirmative, there is a fine difference between a “theory” and a “scientific theory”. A scientific theory is well-tested with verification using logic and evidence. Just because it is not 100% final correct doesn’t mean it is just an educated guess. They are simply the closest to what is 100% actually correct in terms of humanity knowledge.

    If we think the time is the sequence of events, it can be inferred that out time is connected to the last event before the big bang in the previous universe. By this inference, we can conclude that the time is always running on the endless chain of events and there is no start for time but there is a definite start for the current space-time which is our big bang.

    That line always didn't sit well with me, it's trying to sound optimistic but really just saying there's nothing you can do about it so just accept it. You can cherish all the moments you like, it still stinks they go into the past forever and never come again, and that no matter how active and accomplished you are, there's never enough time for everything and you're always forced to make compromises somewhere. So yeah you can make the best of it, but that doesn't mean it's good just because there's no alternative. Time hovering over your shoulder reminding you how finite and limited your journey is certainly doesn't sound like a benevolent companion to me. Enjoy it, sure, but I'd still rather be less constrained by the passage of time.

    A common misunderstanding. This is why people are often so confused about asking if time existed before the Big Bang. They either forget or don't understand that time is simply a dimension. It doesn't encompass "all things that have ever occurred". It is a very specific thing. When talking about the origins of the universe the dimension of time doesn't even exist yet. That doesn't mean events didn't happen before the dimension we call time. You just couldn't measure it using the methods and devices we have for measuring time because those depend on spacetime. That would not have existed yet.
