Hey Starlord here,
So, the mind bloggling question is always arising in my mind that did time exist before THE BIG BANG? I hope same question is arising in your mind too.
This question is raised because if time did exist before the Big Bang then there is definitely would have been something. Anything, either of no use, and if time didn’t exist then simply there was nothing literally nothing?
These questions blow up our mind making us curious to know the answer and hence the reason why this question is asked so many times.
Stephen Hawking has reasoned that all of those questions as irreverent. He stated that, even if time did exist prior to the Big Bang, we would have absolutely no frame of reference by to measure it. Even he denies that time existed before the Big Bang. He believed that time started as the Big Bang.

But another physicist has argued there’s something beyond the Big Bang. Some propose that there is a mirror universe (same as the mirror dimension as created by Doctor Strange against Kaecilius, and anything happened in mirror dimension, real dimension is unaffected.) on the other side, where time move backwards.
Some scientists speculate that before The Big Bang there was a massively dense infinitely tiny singularity. A point at which time and the laws of physics doesn’t exist, and if time didn’t exist then there is no BEFORE…..

Experts are constantly trying new things and coming up with potential solutions to typical problems. One is James Webb Telescope. Never heard of it? Then you must read the next chapters….
Till then tell me in comments what conclusions comes to your mind after thinking about this question...
Thanks for reading and learning
