Why, scientifically, are we unable to figure out what happened before the big bang?
In: Physics
“*What happened before the Big Bang?*”
“What happened” implies that there was *something* around for stuff to happen to. There was no such *something*; there was nothing.
“Before” implies events arranged in time so we can consider something happening before something else, but we have no idea what “time” before the Big Bang even means.
Is this something we can get our heads around? No, it’s just the way things are.
