You will both, I hope, forgive me for my ignorance, but the issue is indeed what came before our own particular time and space. -"Our own particular time and space" is the only time and space known to exist. Cosmology is about investigating the evidence for the beginning of everything. If time has an origin then there can be no "before", no "past".-> If, as David and I have agreed, energy is the source of everything, how do you know that energy has not been producing matter for ever and ever, with our own universe just one "event" in an endless sequence of "events"? -I would say that without time and space mass and energy cannot exist. They only come into existence when the symmetries are broken.-Of course you can have any sort of fantasies you like about there having been other universes and other times and spaces. This is only natural for a writer of fanciful fiction. We on the other hand are going by the facts we know.
