If the world was created after "Big Bang", then what was it before "Big Bang"?

At the time of the Big Bang, all of the matter in the universe was transformed into an incredibly hot, infinitely dense spot.

But what happened before that? It turns out, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has an answer he gave in an interview with his almost-famous fellow scientist, Neil Degrees Tyson. Hawking discussed these ideas and others at the series finale of Tyson's "StarTalk" TV show.

The answer to Hawking's question was "What was there before?" One relies on a principle known as the "no-boundary proposal".

Hawking quoted Tyson as Popular Science, "the boundary conditions of the universe ... it has no boundaries. [Big Bang to Civilization: 10 Amazing Original Events]

To better understand the theory, grab your universal remote (ie, your remote that controls the universe), and hit the rewind. As scientists now know, the universe is constantly expanding. When you fall behind in time, then, the universe shrinks. Hawking stated that far away (about 13.8 billion years) and the entire universe shrunk to the size of an atom.

This sub-atomic ball of everything is known as eccentricity (not to be confused with technical eccentricities during which artificial intelligence will overtake humans). Inside this extremely small, massively dense speck of heat and energy, the laws of physics and time as we know it stops functioning. Put another way, time as we understand it did not have literal meaning before the universe expanded. Rather, the arrow of time shrinks infinitely as the universe becomes smaller and smaller, never reaching a clear starting point.

According to TechTimes, Hawking says during the show that before the Big Bang, time was bending - "it was always getting close to nothing but becoming nothing," according to the article. Essentially, "there was never a Big Bang that produced anything from nothing. It just seemed so from the point of view of mankind."

In a lecture on the no-boundary proposal, Hawking wrote: "Events prior to the Big Bang are not simply defined, because there is no way that anyone can measure what happened to them. From the Big Bang, The earlier events have no observable results, as it may be. Well cut them off from theory, and said that time began in the Big Bang. "

This is not the first time Hawking has discussed this theory. He previously lectured on the subject and acted in a free documentary about it, available on YouTube. Tune and Hawking gave in-depth information on the subject to listen to the tune at StarTalk on Sunday, as well as Isaac Newton would be more excited to learn about the black hole or tinder.
