Before the Big Bang
BEFORE THE BIG BANG
What came before the Big Bang? Cosmologists have no shortage of answers to this question, but we may never know from direct observation what the true story is. Perhaps space-time had such a peculiar topology that it curved around on itself—and so asking what came before the Big Bang might be like asking what is south of the South Pole.
