Answer 1

There was no “before”. Time begins with the Big Bang. If there is no time, there’s no before/after. Similarly, you cannot speak about what was *there* before the Big Bang because there was no space. THere wan’t *empty* space, there was *no space.* Neither time nor space existed until the Big Bang created them.
