- Did anything exist before the big bang?

This is an unfair question. Did you exist in the year 1863? What did you eat for breakfast on July 23, 1863? etc. In the same way, time did not exist before the Big Bang. There is no indication that anything existed prior to the Big Bang.

Here's a pretty cool movie:
