SUMMARY
What came before the Big Bang? what happened before the big bang? Since time is thought to have started at the big bang, asking what happened "before" is like asking what is North of the North pole? It may have no meaning. But there are three good theories.
One is the idea of a cyclic or 'bouncing' universe, where the Big Bang is just the latest of many beginnings, in an eternal series of cosmic expansions and contractions. The universe begins from an initial tiny state (a singularity?) in which all the matter and energy of the universe is contained in an infinitesimally small volume. The universe then expanded, and after 13.8 billion years is at its current state. It will keep expanding for perhaps billions more years, and then it will contract for another long period or time until it is tiny again. And then the cycle repeats itself over and over again for eternity.
But the current rate of expansion of the universe is not slowing down. It would need to stop and reverse at some time in the future. But that's not what we observe. If the lambda cdm model is incomplete, then the cyclic model could be correct.
Another hypothesis about what came before the Big Bang is a multiverse, where our universe is just one bubble in a frothy sea of universes, each with its own laws of physics. There are many types of multiverses, but this one stems from the theorized concept of eternal inflation.
The idea is that there exists an infinite spacetime that is expanding faster than the speed of light. This is what we call inflation. Inflation is believed to have occurred in our universe shortly after the Big Bang for an extremely short period of time But in this short time, the universe expanded by a factor of 10^78 in size. Since quantum mechanics ensures that there will always be some randomness, it’s possible that inflation could last a bit longer or shorter than expected in different parts of the universe.
In the 1980s, Paul Steinhardt, Andrei Linde and Alexander Vilenkin realized that the exponential expansion of cosmic inflation, although it stopped in our part of the universe, could continue in other unobservable parts of the universe. And if that’s the case, then the universe we are familiar with, may be a very small fraction of all that exists. It could have stoped in other parts of the universe, forming other bubble universes. This could go on for eternity. Our universe would be nothing but a very tiny part of an unimaginably larger whole.
Another theory is that our universe could have come from nothing. At the subatomic level in empty space, particles are popping in and out of existence all the time. These are virtual particles. They borrow energy from the vacuum and give it right back so quickly that no conservation laws are violated. Energy is conserved.
Cosmologists have speculated that even in a universe where no matter, space or time exists, as long as the laws of quantum mechanics exist, spacetime itself could have emerged in a quantum fluctuation, because in quantum mechanics, anything that is not forbidden by conservation laws necessarily happens with some finite probability. If we live in a closed universe, like a sphere is a closed universe, then all the positive energy of matter is perfectly balanced by gravity, which has negative energy. So, just like with virtual particles, no net energy is created.
Just as virtual particles come in and out of existence without breaking any conservation laws, a small empty space could come into existence probabilistically due to quantum fluctuations. And since time is connected to space, time would follow in this nucleation.
A scientific paper authored by 3 Chinese physicists, titled “spontaneous creation of the universe from nothing,” was published in 2014, which showed a mathematical proof of how this could happen.
#bigbang
#time
Why can’t we turn the clock back just a little bit further and figure out what happened just a tiny fraction of a second before the Big Bang? because current understanding of physics breaks down at the singularity, the moment that predates the Big Bang.

Obviously it goes on forever because now is no different From then because we are always occurring at half way in time but the weird thing is that there is more time before you than after you because of a weird quark Time is experienced forward into the past technically Because you were never alive, that means you can't technically die so if you're not dead, that must mean rebirth You don't perceive the moment of death, which means it must be shed like snake skin... And something else weird I have a hunch that what is really happening is that the event horizon is what is seen /were space is free from form because it hasn't been yet created and is pulled into a pillar of space time Any ways I belive the core of the star that caused the black hole is moving backwards in time Compressed from all sides evenly by gravity perfectly spherical so the star shrinks away from our side and ends up going back in time through space so slight drift occurs and and when the star breaks its connection because as it gets further before time than it's effect will diminish over time thus singularity is all occurrence You're looking into somebody's head that exists in a lower dimension you are a black hole in a higher dimension Critical mass.... out of all the stars in the universe one star could potentially have to perfect mass that it is the critical mass it rings like a bell as in it explodes in both directions while all the others fall in

The third hypothesis is the nothing-pothing-mothing model. Nothing vibrates creating pothing(positivenothing) and mothing(minusnothing) for a very short period of time. Then pothing and mothing recombine to form nothing again. And so on. Sometimes, when two neighbouring pothings are formed simultaneously, these two pothings combine due to attraction and will form a nonvisible entity of gravity (we call that dark matter) leaving the two mothings behind. These two mothings will drift away and form more space (we call that dark energy)

Once again, a fantastic video capturing our uncertain reality. The graphics are truly mind-blowing. Amidst the awe, one pressing question arises: At the inception (just before or at the moment of the big bang), was there only energy or a mix of energy and fundamental particles? Grateful to anyone who can provide insight 😊
@rogumann838
Ай бұрын
From what we think today: at the very very start the temperature literally was too high for the fundamental particles to exist! So that would mean that there should only be "energy" at the exact beginning. As to what form this energy was in I'm not sure, but we usually say that photons are "pure energy", so if thats true then maybe there were only photons and then when it cooled fundamental particles (matter particles) started to form. Remember that these extremely early times are not very well understood, and are still subject to some speculation.

From what I recall, there was an experiment with comic rays that showed that they travelled along the H plank distance grid, like a really fine resolution computer game. They didn't mention the dimension, but showed a graphic of how the cosmic rays never traveled on the diagonals of the grid (like graph paper and you couldn't use anything but the established lines). That's why all the speculation we are just a simulation, imo. We exist in a resolution... A very very small, fine resolution, but something that theoretically can be captured by a super duper duper super computer eventually. At least Musk thinks so too.

Yes, defining nothing is a problem. Imagine what an infinite void would look like. Can you have space without time? Our phsics equations seem to say no. A state with no space, no time, and no matter, or what we imagine to be a "nothing" or an "infinite void" might be an infinitesimally small point.

Good point! Also, these so-called "laws" of physics, though some may appear complex to us, are really no more than what's possible, what's not and statistical probabilities. In the same way that 2+2 cannot equal 5 or that the internal angles of all rectangles add up 360 degrees and the internal angles of all triangles add up to 180 degrees, something which is pretty obvious when you consider that any rectangle can be divided into 2 triangles, and vice versa. Going a little further, entropy is no more than statistical probability, a concept not difficult to grasp when applied to a simple system (one with few components). And entropy is what gives us "time". At the level of a quantum particle, there is no direction of time. Time emerges as we add more quantum particles to the system - it emerges from the statistics of the number of particles in the system. If you don't understand how this works, time may appear complex, even mysterious. If you do understand how this works, time is as obvious as 2+2=4. Some of these "laws" are obvious to us, others are far from it, but that's all they really are. This is how the "laws" of physics always exist (2+2 will always equal 4, even when there is nothing to count).

A Multiverse (Set of Universes) remains a SINGLE UNIVERSE composed of multiple universes (like ours, which could be inside a Black Hole - who can prove otherwise? -), ETERNAL and INFINITE that is continuously TRANSFORMING or evolving and manifests itself in many, infinite different ways, whatever they are called or perceived by us: Human Beings, Animals, Rocks, Water, Fire, Air, Planets, Asteroids, Suns, Stars, Galaxies, Clusters (of Galaxies), Quasars, Black Holes, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Singularities, etc... The Universe or Multiverse only transforms: It is PURE ENERGY... Remember Einstein's proven equation: E = mc2, which shows that E, Energy, is the same as mass (or what we believe or perceive as "solid" matter) multiplied by the square of the speed of light, a very large number. Or put another way, what we believe to be "matter", what we can "touch" is actually PURE ENERGY somehow interconnected with the rest of the Universe or Multiverse. If you think you can "touch" matter, use an ever increasingly powerful microscope: Body, cells, molecules, atoms... And do you think you can see or "touch" an atom? NO ! It has subparticles: Electrons, protons, neutrons... And do you think you can see or "touch" them? NO ! They in turn include other quantum untouchable "particles" that are elusive... because they are PURE ENERGY! Ask the scientists of CERN Accelerator in Switzerland... It is impossible to prove it because it is and will be far beyond our limited intellectual and technological capabilities, but it does not make sense that the Multiverse or God, however you prefer to imagine it has a Beginning or an End in time... or any physical LIMIT. What can lie BEYOND the "physical limit" of the Multiverse? Well, ANOTHER Universe or type of Universe. That is, we would be facing a new Multiverse. And what could have existed BEFORE the BIG BANG? Well, another Universe or Multiverse... And once ours cools down (which is what is happening with ALL the stars burning their limited nuclear energy source) and perhaps it WILL COLLAPSE into a SINGULARITY or Black Hole and then maybe (Who could prove it or refute it?) give rise to another "Big Bang". That is, our Universe is... ETERNAL And most importantly: That Universe or Multiverse is... GOD or "Creator" of everything we observe! A God who does not reward, punish, monitor or "prefer" anyone. "He" does not condemn anyone to suffer eternally in "hell" (which does not exist!). A God not concerned about anyone, much less these imperfect human beings, absolutely insignificant: INSIGNIFICANT for the Earth, in turn insignificant for the Solar System, this one for the Milky Way Galaxy, totally insignificant for a Cluster of Galaxies, and this Cluster, insignificant for the known Universe and perhaps for a Multiverse, which is the most likely "thing" that exists. So, forget all those fears or feelings of "guilt" (of WHAT?) that you learned or were brainwashed since you were a child, convince yourself there is NO afterlife (where to?) because all of our cells DIE and desintegrate into dispersed molecules and then "atoms" that eventually will disperse randomly and help create, combined with others, new stars that will in turn "die", collapse and explode as super novas releasing new atoms to create new stars...and... ENJOY your LIFE... or "delusion" of life... or whatever it is...👍 !
1. Not only are the laws of physics (quantum mechanics) _something_ (not nothing), so are the quantum fields described by quantum mechanics. So what was the origin of the laws and fields? 2. A fourth possible explanation involves a causation-defying time loop, where the far future is also the distant past. Unlike the "bouncing universe" hypothesis Arvin described first, the time loop hypothesis doesn't propose an infinite past or a finite-but-vast past. Whether or not a time loop is more paradoxical than an infinite past or the origin of a vast past seems to be a matter of personal taste. 3. Beyond the big bang singularity, thar be dragons.

They are similar concepts. Homogeneity means that there is no preferred location in the Universe. That is, no matter where you are in the Universe, if you look at the Universe, it will look the same. Isotropy means that there is no preferred direction in the Universe. That is, from your current location, no matter which direction you look, the Universe will look the same. Our universe is both. I suppose I could have been more technical, and explained this more fully, but that was not the central point of the video.

@@ArvinAsh It's not a matter of being technical. You gave a wrong definition of "homogeneous". Also, you are saying "our universe IS both", as if you were sure and had observational proof of this. No, homogeneity cannot be experimentally observed. Only isotropy can be experimentally observed.

I agree, there should be a pinned clarification. What I don't understand is how we can simultaneously assume the Copernican principle to turn our isotropy evidence into homogeneity evidence, and also claim expansion speeds vary on extra-observable scales? Sorry if it's a a dumb question.
I’m so glad I watched this sober. This way I was able to understand about 7% of it. Fascinating stuff.
Thanks for this excellent video! I was recently watching a video featuring Roger Penrose discussing his insight about this topic - something along the lines (though I don’t clearly understand it) of the situation around the big bang being equivalent in terms of the impossibility or meaninglessness of measuring time, to the situation near the heat death of the expanding universe, where time itself cannot be measured-leading to a suggestion that the heat death at the terminal stage of the expanding universe is equivalent to a big bang in some way, thus suggesting another type of recurring cycle. I wonder if you can comment on that?

Always fun speculating on how the our universe came into being. I'm glad you stressed these hypotheses are extremely speculative as our knowledge of physics breaks down at that point.

Love me some Arvin Ash
Thanks Arvin for explaining these concepts to physics fans like me who are not trained in physics. The section on Eternal Inflation was the first time I understood it conceptually, esp. the reason why we cannot interact with those other universes. The thing that boggles my mind most is, where did the laws if Quantum Mechanics come from, if they exist even without space and time? Also, is Roger Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology not mainstream enough to be included as a 4th hypothesis in this list?
Just finished reading Lawrence Krauss's "A Universe From Nothing" (for the 2nd time). To me, Arvin just summarized the book with 3rd Hypotheses and really clarified it for me. Thanks!
Fascinating theories! Thank you for making this very interesting video, concentrating on unproven ideas!
Great presentation. I'm a firm believer in the Eternal Inflation hypothesis. It does show us how miniscule and insignificant we are and how little we could ever comprehend. To that end, I believe JWST actually gave us a peek beyond out "Universe" and makes us wonder.
Thnk you so much! I'm baffled: How did I understand in a 17 minute video something I spent years trying to get?!
Really great video. You altered my thinking on these questions. If we came from nothing, there's a lot more nothingness out there for others.
So easy to understand and immagin that this is possible.
I did enjoy the video
The cyclic universe hypothesis was described in Lem's "His master's voice" (it's the old SF book, not science paper though).
The Bang Big!
The 3 body problem novel's 10 dimensional take on the universe is fascinating

Indeed, I have a video coming out next month on that.
Good time to watch this is at 2am.
Hi Arvin, great Video as always. I personally believe in another possibility. 1. black and white holes grow the volume by r^3 when mass is added. This could explain the accelerating expansion of our universe. 2. the mass in the known universe is in the range of a black hole 3. inflation is just necessary because we have the strange assumption, that the universe comes from nothing. Why that? Why is the starting point an ideal singularity and not a practical one that is a little bit bigger already? 4. the starting point could be a practical singularity as we assume based on ART for black holes. This would lead to another multiverse approach with mother and child universes. 5. imbalances like matter vs antimatter could be leveled out across a multitude of universes. Would love to see the arguments why this hypothesis is not working.
Sir can u make a vedio explaining big bang in connection with rising entropY
Nice video and topic Arvin Ash, thanks! 😉 We are now (finally) discovering that our universe is a holistic cyclical process... There is much evidence that our universe renewed itself after the end of the last cycle of existence of the previous universe (the collapse of matter). We are now slowly but surely realizing that our gigantic universe today once consisted of several smaller universes that later all merged together. This is exactly what can explain the different expansion speed (Hubble tension) in different parts of the cosmos. The very early universe was a completely different world with a different time sequence, lightning-fast mergers and star formation processes. The black holes were also simply different, usually in the form of particularly powerful quasars that formed from huge collapsing gas clouds (rather than as supernovae from giant stars). We first have to explore this completely different world and explain it, which is not so easy when you see a lot of new things but can't explain them. If we then build a space telescope with a view of 20 billion years, then we will have better ideas, but the JWST is also really a great thing... with time comes advice...
As usual your analysis is always interesting. But what I can't understand is that something the size of the universe could have started with something very very small. On the face of it that would seem vastly impossible. Keep thinking!

It might be easier to fathom if you can imagine that all the matter in the universe, that is, all the "mass" that you see around you is, at its core, energy. And energy has no minimum size requirement.
It's like asking what's outside outside, or what happens after forever.

'For anything to exist, that which is eternal must by necessity be'. I realised that when I was about nine after loosely digesting Newton's Principia Mathematica.
Really enjoyed it . thanks. If before the big band there was quantum mechanics and virtual particles were fleetingly coming into existence and then disappearing, does that imply that quantum fields could have existed? Do we think that QFT predates big bang?
The sudden brief expansion then stop is kind of like a phase change or crystallization event. Remember space itself is not limited to the 'speed of light'.
I have to watch this video again! My limitations. It went OTH.
05:50 - The Universe did exactly as you implied, for many "iterations". With the added principle of "ongoing creation of matter", that "contraction/expansion" cycle would take more and more time - until it "fell" on the "other edge of the knife " and became the first "stable" and "accelerating" Universe.

It's nonsensical. There is, by definition, nothing before time began. There's nothing that can cause time to begin, because the cause would have to come before effect. Time has always existed, and there was never a time when time didn't exist, by definition.
Love your videos. Could be that the expansion of space is continually happening in other galaxies or universes from a tiny singularity. There is no before because it’s continuous. It just happened that 14 billion years ago it was our turn. Could be that all singularities in black hole are future big bangs.
It would be like a picture turned into a movie by motion so time would likely be proportional to expansion and flow at different rates keyed to expansion of the universe.
The third idea has some flaws - the combination of 'probability' with 'no *before* spacetime'. It’s easy to see why physics breaks down at or before the initial singularity, when probability is some measure of the occurrence of an event, in space or time or spacetime. The likelihood of producing a universe either becomes absolute or nonexistent, as the occurrence can be stacked to infinity or countered by an array of unknown factors with infinite possibilities.
Another straightforward (and similarly untestable) hypothesis is the Simulation Hypothesis, in which the big bang was someone hitting the start button on the sim. Regardless, I think science is going to have to get beyond its need for all things to exist on the same timeline. I think we're beginning to see it is not so simple.
Still think it's a interdementale osmosis mechanism that idea is both beautiful and practical where mater plays the role of energy storage and its decay feeds back in to the system. Also a kline bottle feeds in to its self. with out considering higher demental principles as the mechanism for the up to down stream effects of states of matter and energy they clearly can't have a practical solution. It's how you would have a arc of dissequallibrem in a interdementale system.
Just before the Big Bang… there was a sound… I seem to remember… it went something like this: ‘Whoooooopsie, Aw, dang! Lookout everybody!’
