      good question…I have no idea. On the one hand, I guess if everything was created at the big bang then that means time was also created then so technically nothing was before it. But on the other hand, stuff doesn’t very often come from nothing…I think there must be a really complicated quantum physics-y type answer to your question, but I have no idea what that answer actually is :-/

      I am tempted to think it is a cycle of universes being made, expanding then contracting and going to a ‘big crunch’, then a new universe is formed, but then you have to ask how and when that cycle started!

      Hard to say – there are many theories and they are forever evolving.
