    What was there before the Big Bang? Did time even exist? Brian Greene.

    The American theoretical physicist, Brian Greene explains various hypotheses about the causation of the big bang. Brian Greene is an excellent science communicator and he makes complex cosmological concepts more easy to understand.

    The Big Bang explains the evolution of the universe from a starting density and temperature that is currently well beyond humanity's capability to replicate. Thus the most extreme conditions and earliest times of the universe are speculative and any explanation for what caused the big bang should be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless that shouldn't stop us to ask questions like what was there before the big bang.

    If we look @ the cosmos and before life ...
    Two stars hitting each other ...
    Who knows what's beyond the unknown ...

    Some scientists they are just working on that ... gravitational singularity, dark matter, ...

    Brian May is the only rock star that I know of who also has a PhD in astrophysics. Interestingly he started work on the PhD at Imperial College in London in the late '60s and quit to play music full time. Then after he finished his career, he went back and finished his PhD at age 60. Fortunately the area of astronomy he did his research, the outer regions of the solar system did not have a lot of work done in the intervening 30+ years. However, as he was completing his work, a NASA probe, New Horizons, was launched to explore Pluto and the other parts of the Solar System, just the area the May had been studying. So he joined the NASA team.
