Reply to comment by FM-101 in How big was the point of dense energy before the Big Bang? by ClassicSpurzy

It's my understanding that nothing could have happened before the big bang. Space and time didn't exist until the big bang happened and unless there were previous iterations of the universe, nothing could have happened. Until it did.

This is my favorite Cosmological ideal. The Big Bang and Big Crunch. The Universe is born, grows, then dies a cold death. Entropy eventually causes the expansion to slow down, stop, and finally reverse down to another singularity.

What really gets me with it is that there could be remnants of the previous universes outside of our own
