Maybe there was a self-conscious "civilization" before the big bang. From my understanding we know very little to nothing about anything before the big bang.

- generic92034 1y agoIf the big bang created space and time, "before the big bang" is not really well-defined.
- kridsdale1 1y agoUnless you believe that this universe is just playing out holographic on the event horizon of an N+1d black hole in our parent universe. The Big Bang was just the singularity birth of that one object.
- generic92034 1y agoFrom inside that universe there still was no "before". Are you looking into our universe from the outside? ;)
- anticensor 1y agoExcept not all dimension numbers have nicely defined physics and geometries. For example, 4+0 and 4+1 don't have symmetric pairwise particle interactions in the sense we have in 3+1.
- joquarky 1y agoIt's going to get really irrational if we discover that the universe is only 2.71828... + 1 dimensions.
