Brian Cox: Something Terrifying Existed Before The Big Bang

What existed before the Big Bang ? This question has always been a challenge for scientists but now it seems they have found the answer to it.
But it has left scientists shocked as Brian Cox revealed that something terrifying existed before the Big Bang. So what existed before the Big Bang? Why has it left scientists terrified?

In younger times, I, too was hotter and denser. It’s nice to have that in common with the universe.

[varnlestoff]

I simply can not wrap my mind around the idea that something may have ALWAYS existed, and that there is no start point. It's equally as difficult to comprehend nothing existing, not even a black void.

What existed before was two universes that loved each other very very much and then boom the rest is history.

This economy is so crazy that we had inflation even before the universe existed

[gizmothepiefaceman]

“And it’s called inflation” I’m so fucking tired of inflation 😭

I love how science always changes. I guess we don't know shit.

Scientists have agreed the only thing which existed before the big bang was Keith Richards. He predates the known universe.

[BlindDweller]

There is a cruel but ammusing irony that we human beings are so habitually safe and cosy within a system of beginnings and ends in everything, that as soon as the nature of existence contradicts us in that way of thinking, we sink into existential dread.

I dont understand 75% of what he's saying but continue to the end with the hope I'll crack the mystery of the universe.

"An infinite fractal universe of basically an infinte number of Big Bangs" That's the most metal shit I've ever heard.

[mherrera]

I remember what my astronomy teacher told the class back in 1982 (SDSU) "All we know about the universe changes every 30 years". Amen 😊

[Cowpoo]

I tried explaining this to landlord but he says I still have to pay the rent 💀

[xanttis]

Man, I felt like i was 15 again, watching TV, some Discovery Chanel or smth like that. Outstanding video editing, tone of voice, and everything. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for this video

[Lycan]

Every time we find one answer it comes with a million more new questions 🥺

[andreibutnariu]

”0:25 now we know exactly where inflation comes from…” -Kunk on Britain

[HoosierDaddyGames]

I find the following a beautiful thought:

As the universe expands and cools, black holes will eventually consume everything.

Now, imagine the black holes deliver all the matter theyve consumed (everything in the universe) to a single point- creating a singularity and therefore giving birth to another universe.

It's it is a view of the universe that is efficient, elegant and eternal.

20 bucks says the alternate universe Mets haven't won in 38 years, either.

[smithnwesson]

Simple Answer: They have no fucking clue what existed before. You're welcome.

And on the 6th day, the great programmer pressed enter and the simulation began.

I am not a physicist by profession (chemistry/metallurgy). I do continually study several disciplines of physics as a 'hobby' for lack of a better word. I have had a passion for understanding the universe from its current state down to its most infinitesimally small basic components since I was a young man in the 1980s and 90s. This video has unlocked something that I have been trying to mentally reconcile, and it has answered questions, created new ones, and then given my imagination some possible NEW answers to the overall system that is our universe. I am fully inspired to go further with my new theories to see what ACTUAL physicists with a more established knowledge base think. It is likely that my 'new' ideas are just 'old' ones that I haven't heard before, or they may be simply amateurish nonsense, but there's only one way to find out. Thank you very much for providing me with the spark of inspiration, regardless of where it ultimately leads-- even if it IS nowhere.
