🌌 Did Time Exist Before the Big Bang?
What happened before the universe began?
It sounds like a simple question. But there's a strange problem hidden inside it...
What if there was no “before”?
In this episode of Beyond the Equation, we travel back roughly 13.8 billion years and explore one of the deepest questions in modern cosmology: did time itself have a beginning?
We’ll explore what the Big Bang actually means, why it wasn't simply an explosion in empty space, how Einstein connected space and time into spacetime, and why asking what happened “before” the Big Bang may not be as straightforward as it sounds.
But we won't stop there.
Could there have been something before our universe? Could the Big Bang have been a transition from an earlier cosmic phase? Or does the word “before” simply stop making sense when we reach the beginning of spacetime?
We'll separate what physics tells us from what remains speculation—and discover why one of the biggest mysteries in the universe may not be what came before time...
but why time exists at all.
