What prevents scientists from being able model what was before the Big Bang?
In: 822
You need something to base the model on. Otherwise you’re just drawing lines at random.
It’s amazing enough that we have models that go as far back as they do.
Before the big bang time didn’t even exist, … we think? Or at it didn’t function the same way. The various force fields that dictate how things interact were all combined… We think?
At a certain point it all becomes so far removed from how it is now that any attempt to figure out what it was like becomes a fools errand. Maybe there’s something that I don’t know about that we can use as a window into that time period. A sort of big bang equivalent of carbon dating? But I have yet to hear about it, so I assume (if such a thing does exist) we either haven’t discovered it yet or haven’t managed to get any interesting results out of it yet.
