We actually have a pretty good idea of what might have happened before the Big Bang. That is, as long as we define the Big Bang as the extremely hot, dense, rapidly expanding universe that is described by Einstein’s equations. That picture of the universe is very solid down to about a trillionth of a second after the supposed beginning of time. We can make good guesses down to about 10^-30th of a second. But before that?

    I literally can't believe that PBS actually is funding something this in-detail. I used to watch PBS as a kid all the time, it's what got me interested in science and why I went into STEM. I love you guys so much, you are doing a huge service to humanity, inspiring multiple generations to have an interest in sciences which will make this world better for everyone. Thank you so much for the endless joy you've brought us :') You have no idea how much it means to me

    Also it is interesting to observe how people who do not have enough scientific knowledge, or lack in level of understanding for this, react to this. I admit, sometimes it's over my head but still it succeeds in irritating me. Because it sounds like nonsense to my ears, although it is just something I do not understand or not fully. But mostly it leaves me with more questions. Questions that most of the time reflect my lack of knowledge. But every now and then... sometimes even I have a clear idea that some things do not add up. Because everyone at that point only can wonder about what it really is what we are looking at.

    According to the hypothesis of the evolution of the solar system, it is like a cup of hot water before evolution, and the distribution of matter and energy after evolution is regular, which indicates that hot water will eventually evolve in this way. Violation of thermodynamics and chemical properties. Due to the law of increase in entropy (degeneration), it is impossible to evolve into a massive object, so it is impossible to have gravity to give birth to the solar system. Therefore, it can only be created by God. According to the hypothesis of the evolution of the universe, when it has not yet evolved, because the universe has been expanding, the matter and energy it needs spread outward, and there is nothing to evolve, only created by God.

    Just Beacuse it seems possible does not mean it is 😐once you die your dead in this world but that does not mean you won’t be dead forever depending the chances of this planet forming is how long we will be dead or in this case sleeping 😐yes death is nothing but just going into a so called endless sleep 😑and all of us were all ready dead before we came into this world for who knows how dam long 😑1 trillion years ? One septillion years one goggle years I have no idea 😓it’s not the fact this planet will never form again Because even thought the odds are small😐 it’s not impossible for this planet to happen again the odds of this planet forming depends if the universe is finite or not 😐if the universe is infinite that means the chances of this planet will happen again but it’s so ridiculously small 😑and if the universe is finite the odds of this planet forming are grater but like all things if the universe is finite you still need a cause and effect on what created the universe to begin with 😑 eventually you say how did the universe came to be how did stars an planets came to be how did galaxy’s came to be how did atoms came to be how did electrons came to be ? How did quarks came to be? How did quarks came into being ?😑you see everything in natire has a cause and effect even the Big Bang singularity if you say their was no time no space before the Big Bang it means 1 the Big Bang did not ever happen or 2 your missing the cause and effect their is no way around it 😑

    I absolutely love the slow roll inflation theory. There's something profoundly comforting in the sentiment that nothing ever really ends in that model of the universe. Yes it still implies that this particular bubble will expand forever and eventually succumb to heat death, but that won't be the end of everything for everyone.

    PBS Space Time has such good thumbnails, I admire them often. O'Dowd also has good posture. I wonder if he's somehow reading from cards or a prompt, since his delivery is so natural. Typically it's super obvious when someone is reading what they're saying, and so I think he really knows his stuff and has probably practiced the presentation well.

    I know it's an old post, thought I would chime in still. First let me say I absolutely love this channel. Its absolutely great. Thank you for the excellent topics, the involvement of the community, and the education that you bring. I'm a huge amateur theoretical physicist fan, who just teases my own mind at times. To the topic. We know in thermodynamics, that an energy system cannot be reduced to a zero value. That is to say, the total energy in the universe, is no different today, than after than the most precision measure of time just after the big bang. And the total energy of the universe will remain unchanged throughout time. Energy is constant. Well never add to it, or remove from it. We can all agree on this. However in theory, it would seem, and physics does reflect this, that both space and time are either products of the big bang, or an emergent property. This is interesting to me, as energy seems so exotic in nature, that if you could rewind the universe to " before the big bang" I can make a sound and educated argument, that there was no space or time. In other words, since you cant destroy energy, since it is constant, then it must remain constant, and present, even if there is no space time dimension. In other words, energy can exist outside space time. So I think it's safe to say. That before the big bang there was energy, in a zero time zero space environment. In other words, there must exist an environment, outside space time, not definable by space time terms, yet still a very real environment. Now I'm going to ask questions, and let the universe provide the answers. What does energy do, in zero space,.zero time? To answer that question, we must observe what energy did within space time. One feature, is self organizing systems. The universe is in business of management, and its managing massive levels of energy. If space time was either a product of the big bang, or an emergent property, it still has its roots planted in the energy it came from. Unless u believe that space time is free, and it came at no cost to that original energy the universe started from. That makes no sense in physics, as to say something comes about for free. There must be a cost, to space time. I'm sure some of the universes missing energy, will not completely be found in dark matter, but rather the missing energy lies in a formula, converting energy into space time. Then its constant. So back to my question, what does energy do in zero space, zero time. Observing what it did in space time, it organized into galaxy clusters, star systems, black holes, nebulae, planets, gas clouds etc etc. Let's look deeper. This energy also self organized into life. It self organized into conscious beings. Stay with me please. So let's apply this self organizing feature, for all we know, to zero space , zero time. If , self organization is a property of energy, than energy in zero space zero time, must have also self organized. However, follow me here, it did not have to follow a time line, or spacial restriction. In other words, energy could have self organized into the most complex patterns imaginable, and beyond, instantly in zero time. It would have exhausted its entropy, literally instantaneously, not over a time line. Since were observing this energy, now exposed to a time line, and spacial information, and we know that consciousness emerges somehow, beyond our understanding, then let's assume for a moment, that energy in zero time may have done something similar. That is to say, energy, before the big bang, could have become infinitely complex instantly, and a part of that infinite complexity, would have included consciousness, as it has emerged within space time. In quantum mechanics, making a measurement collapses a wave function. So , I'm imagining, that pre big bang, the energy becomes so complex, infinitely complex, and just as here, consciousness emerges, you cant really say it happened at any specific moment, since time did not exist. ( I realize that for evolutionary systems to occur, there must be time) however, I'm not actually saying that pre big bang, any evolution occurs, I'm saying the energy was already in it's most infinitely complex state, not requiring evolution. Its tough to imagine but stay with me. I mean our minds are not equipped to see outside space time. Our imagination is our best and only tool here let's use it. Soo, that primordial energy before the big bang became self aware, in zero time, observed itself, ( I want to say it made the 1st measurement, but that requires space time so I cant really say that) so don't think in terms of 1st measurement. However, this energy became self aware, observed itself, and collapsed the infinitesimal wave function of itself, giving birth to the 1st particle, the 1st moment of time, and space. A cataclysmic event we call the big bang. Pre big bang all of it is in super position. It was both awake and not, it was both infinity complex, and infinitely disorganized, ( my imagination makes me think, that superposition is actually a zero time zero space state) where all possibilities are observed at once. Its really hard to get your mind around it, u have to think abstractly to even try understanding. After the big bang, the universe wants to assemble itself back into that infinity complex structure it started out as ( cant really say started because that infers time ) so , what I'm saying is pre big bang, the energy was already both infinitely complex, and infinitely disorganized, and both were emergent .that is to say each reality was at play. On our side, after the big bang, its trying to conserve it's own patterns it once ( cant say once that infers time...) but its trying to achieve balance with its self. Except now its exposed to a time line. It must travel this time line to get back where it started. A part of that time line must also include consciousness, since it existed pre big bang as a part of that infinitely complex structure, so in other words you could say it was destined, for consciousness to emerge in our universe, since it was already a part of that structure pre big bang. On the other side, that super positional state of the energy, pre big bang, that was infinitely disorganized, did not collapse it's own wave function, and continues to exist outside space time. There is energy there, but in such a disorganized state, that it remains that way in zero time / space. Both realities exist, but you could say the other does not matter, since nothing arises, emerges, or changes ( I know again changes infers time) , follow me here. I'm saying a part of the cosmos exists outside space time, where there is no evolution. Which contradicts what I'm saying because evolution requires time, which is what our universe did. On one side there is no evolution in zero time, and on another side, there is evolution in time. The universe had to realize both. As, both would make up, in superposition, the energy before the big bang. I think both sides are connected however, each influencing the other, which is were entropy comes to play. Ultimately, I think both universes become one, and balance each other, and they become mirror images. Which raises the question, how does the side infinitely disorganized, never evolving, become a mirror to our own universe? Well, since they are connected, they must share information with each other. The universe of infinite disorder, is sharing its influence with our own, played out in entropy. And our universe, would be sharing information with it, causing new, and organized information to become present, in other words the other universe is experiencing backward time. Our universe will evolve, into the most exotic example of disorder, entropy, and the other universe will go back in time, becoming the most amazing example of order possible. Both in harmony, one becomes the other, the other becomes the one. Both in superposition of each other. When our universe reaches it's most ultimate point of entropy, the other will reach it's most infinitely complex pattern. Which is how it all started. Then they trade places, the cycle happens again. Like an hour glass pouring from one side to the other Consciousness flips the hour glass, but not consciously, by virtue of mechanics. Both universes always connected, in zero time, zero space. In superposition with one another. Its really tough to get my thoughts out on this. My imagination takes me places I cannot put in words, its abstract. As the hour glass analogy, there must be a time when each universe is equal, equal information, space and time, then a transition happens. You would never know it happened, all your information, matter / energy would suddenly exist on the other side, like a clone. Then the other universe would go back to zero time zero space, allowing the other to evolve in space / time, until it goes so far, that it switches sides and repeats its cycle, as the hour glass turns. I've done my best to share my thoughts, please don't be to hard on me. I'm unsure if I've explained it well enough.there is alot i left out. im trying to be as fundamental as i can, i mean were talking about "before big bang" ( which i dont like since before infers time ) , and fundamentally , before the big bang, there must have been energy . so energy is whats fundamental here. not space time, not gravity, which emerges from space time. ive purposely contradicted myself, because this conversation is like a mind experiment. its the only way i know to communicate abstract thought. introducing a self induced conflict really helps my thinking, just as many mental experiments. Schrödinger's cat being one of the best.

    Phenomenal write-up. I'm just an interested person and no expert on any sort of scientific topic whatsoever, but your hypothesis at least theoretically makes sense to me (perhaps there is a scientific property unknown to me that would defeat it, but it doesn't matter). One thing that I need to ask after all of this: if consciousness is destined to evolve as an original part of the 'instant infinite universe', wouldn't that imply that Space-time is also part of it in some way? How did the concept arise to begin with? Why would energy 'limit' itself in such a way that it requires time to form back into its mirror state? I hope I'm not making any blatantly confused statements. I seriously appreciated your comment.

Finding a pattern in all things in the universe and unifying them and their behavior in a complete theory is the way to understand it in some way. God is your solution to what? What is your understanding of god exactly? Is god a consciousness? Do you think of God as a creature? In my experience, as @Darwood Antoine said it could be an answer to every question you ask, until a scientist shows and gives you politically correct answer - "There is also another answer" , with its scientific translation : You're mistaken! My problem is not that I just think religion and belief in God is something bad.. But I do think, that there is a problem with explaining the "creation" with the cheat "creator"? I call it a cheat, because you aren't even trying to explain it - not at least at the level scientist are (really) trying to explain it. Its like "I'll not try to make sense of your pattern, because I don't wanna, I have belief". If the boundaries we've discovered in science were still at the scale of the solar system, are you sure that the full manifestation of your god wasn't going to be the Sun? Oh, but we discovered that the sun is not a first generation star. So stars like it are creations of larger and older stars. Yeah, those stars are its creators. Do they need consciousness. Does your creator need some kind of consciousness? Randomness and chaos in the universe,in its scales lead inevitably to some kind of structure. Is just the design about the universe chaos, entropy in different scales? So you're trying to assign a single creator - structure of order with god? Isn't it just because we are prone to finding structure because of our nature? Is it fair to assign it just to "the creator" and give it a human flavor?

Our lord told us by his words in Quran revealed to his massenger before 1440 years that humans will go to sky .. If you want to know truth of life read Quran you will find the truth . Quran is a book of signs not science but has a lot of science in it .. like big bang , couples of plants , how the life begining , creation of humans , expantion of the heaven and a lot of signs in different fields in science no any errors or contradictions .. Before judging you have to study and read .. no body can just say oh you are wrong based on wrong informations from media or ignorance and misunderstanding , God gave us brain, eyes, heart and ears so as to use them searching for the truth otherwise don't blame only your self in day of judgment day of acounts .

    A three part question: if every point in space is part of the inflaton field then what would happen if a point in space near us (our cosmic region) were to undergo inflation. Is it possible in the presence of matter and gravity, or do those factors interfere with the fields potential energy. Probably from a lack of understanding in both models but if thats the case could a hybrid model of inflation and CCC be possible (even though CCC is an alternative theory to inflation)? I thoroughly enjoy the content. Thank you for what you all do over at PBS space time!

    There are a few basic questions about the source of the universe, for example, A. Is the concept of abstract reality rational? B. Could there be different universal rules or laws of physics, many universes (multiverse)? C. Is spacetime finite or infinite? D. Is the source of energy from a quantum field or a cyclic universe? E. And did something “just exist” or was it created? This video, kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6GamMpxe9qnlLA.html, provides a framework for a logical discussion of these “philosophical” issues. It defines what precedes the big bang in terms of nothing plus four somethings (universal rules, laws of physics, spacetime, and energy). This description provides a reference point for philosophical questions related to the four somethings (8 minute video).

    Fascinating, I know exactly the same after the video as I did before. Where is the nothingness that these quantum fields exist in? Also, why did matter act correctly before we observed it. Was the universe and all matter a wave before life? Was the first consciousness created in a wave? When I die do I disappear or when I die does the entire universe disappear?
