when people say the big bang was the creation of the universe, do they mean there was an infinite vast outer space that existed and the big bang happened in said space and created everything? OR do they mean there was literally just true nothingness, no space. which i guess humans cant comprehend ?? and the big bang happened which created outer space and everything in it?
if it’s the latter….how does one try to conceptualize absolute nothingness?
In: Physics
We really don’t know, most of the known physics breaks down around the big bang, it is possible that the matter for the big bang could have come from a previous big crunch so the big bang is just the recent in a cycle of bangs and crunches.
