The Big Bang theory(no, not the sitcom about 4 brilliant scientists who eat take out all the time), is a theory stating that the universe was created by a big explosion, thus giving rise to all things known and unknown. The understanding of the universe has puzzled us since the beginning of time and will most probably continue to do so for a LONG time.
Okay, so what existed before the universe was created? Where was the universe birthed? How long did it take? Why did it happen? What caused it to happen? These are but a paltry number of questions that have been raised.
So what had caused the Big Bang or the nebulous explosion? Surely, there must have been something that caused it, right? How can an explosion of that magnitude happen without a causal agent?
Perhaps it was a hypothetical causeless cause? Something that had caused the explosion to happen despite the fact that THIS primary cause wasn't caused by anything else. It just 'happened'. On its own. Without a cause. I'm just wondering.
In contrast, when you think about it every cause is also a consequence. Each cause, in a way, functions as a consequence, or rather becomes one, for the factor that brought about its occurrence in the first place. This contributes to the continuance of an incessant cycle though its origin cannot be traced and prospected. Yet, this contradicts the explosions happening on its own, after all, it is part of a perpetual cycle. I'm just saying, think about it. Okay, let us set this aside and give ourselves good time to mull over this later, possibly.
So more significantly, what existed before the universe was created? There is likely to be a precursor. Something? Or nothing?
The presence of nothing or absence of anything does seem like a logical hypothesis. After all, there has to be a whole lot of nothing for something to surface, right? This whole lot of nothing could have facilitated or rather, allowed the formation of the universe. But then again, when you think about it, something is a part of everything and everything is similarly part of something. Likewise, anything can also be an integral component of everything and something. So where is everything? Is the nothing WE know part of something we don't know?
Yeesh. Such a conundrum. I shouldn't have pursued this avenue of the topic.
To summarize and conclude, even though there is nothing much to arrive at really, I think it is pretty clear from this otiose write-up that this topic is exceedingly perplexing and raises as many questions as it may (erroneously) answer, as it evidently requires more research coupled with a better understanding of all things cosmic that stretch beyond our pedestrian ken(or possibly just mine).
