What happened before the Big Bang?

Understanding how the universe began has been a goal for scientists, philosophers, and theologians for millennia. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln describes the scientific view on this topic. He covers what we know, what we think, and what we may forever never know.

The best science quote ever ( 02:42 ), "...That should impress the heck out of you. It still blows my mind, and it's what I do everyday...." - Dr. Don Lincoln

The best part of this channel is your HONESTY! This is the very best video on this subject. I am a big believer in the colliding branes.

[videosmydad]

My absolute favorite part of the video is the repetition of how "we dont know" and that it is far better to admit the truth than to arrogantly proclaim something without evidence. Love it! There is no shame in not knowing - that's what science is all about!

I love how he does this so we can learn and not the money cause he has no ads

Don, the only complaint I have about your videos is a very serious one and it's something you should seriously consider. There's not enough of them.

In high school, I lit up a cherry bomb and heard a big bang. Then I joined the Army, went to Vietnam, and heard a really big bang. How big you talkin?

Ironically he gets my attention when he says, “there are some things we don’t know.” That’s probably the most accurate statement in his discussion!

[friedpicklezzz]

A HUGE compliment to the presenter and people involved creating this video. It’s not easy to explain difficult things in an easy way. Not only that, the tempo and depth is just right, there’s no distracting music and the length of the video is just perfect.
Looking forward learning more.

I really appreciate that he's able to say "we don't know". It gives "us" (these geniuses) something to work on.

7:41 "It's not a sin to not know something; it's only a sin to think you do when you clearly don't."

That quote alone was worth the price of admission.

So nice to hear a lecture without background music. Thank you.

"For all we know, there are still things we don't."

There will never be a time in human history where this isn't true.

[madisonnapolitano]

Amazing! This was such a consumable video! So reasonably timed, and well explained. Very, very fascinating!

[MshadowsenseoC]

I respect the fact that you won't lie about y'all not knowing.

[MrBrandx]

Lol my son asked me this question. I said "The Big Date".

Optimists: The glass is half full
Pessimists: The glass is half empty
Dr. Lincoln: Suppose you have a container that had both air and water

[timmonapier]

I haven't heard that put so simply and clearly before. Thank you! Dr Lincoln
