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
The big bang was the start of space-time itself. We have no idea if there is anything else besides that since there is no way to observe it.
To answer your last question: you don’t need to. Anything that could possibly influence us in any way is within the universe as far as we can tell. That may sound a little unsatisfactory.
