Before the Bang: my visualisation of the singularity (just for fun).
the seed
no up no down no sight no sound no light no time space all around the seed is where it ever was nowhere in sight because no light 'cause all that is and ever will be suspended here for eternity all that is and ever can be contained within its unity the uni-verse .
Before the Bang
I've always enjoyed learning about the origins of the universe Angelo. The fact that time did not begin until there was light set me thinking. Everything that exists, all the planets, all life, began as a tiny point in the middle of nothing. Consider comparison with a seed. It has everything inside a tiny piece of matter to create roots, leaves, fruit. All it needs is a catalyst; for the seed, it is water. We don't know the precise conditions which initiated the Big Bang, but somehow the the massive force required to overcome the immense mass became critical, and time began. I'm not a scientist, just a fan who loves reading about it, but I have my imagination, and with that I can create.
The poem tickles my brain and requires a stretch of consciousness. A seed comparison is limited only in that a seed has dimension. There is that matter (an unfortunate term here) of No-Thing. And first cause. So-o-o worth the contemplation.
I will do that naked when practical, thank you :-).
Thanks Al! Current scientific agreement is that the universe began as a singularity; a tiny concentration of all the matter in existence, condensed to around a cubic centimetre, surrounded by - nothing. It's the 'nothing' that I find hardest to imagine.

The words before and origin are weird given current cosmology. Time is emergent after the bang. Very short period called a Planck epoch, but the three dimensions of space are outside of before after and during. The origin is outside of time. Weird I know. So, the theory is that space generates particles randomly and eventually those gravitationally collapse and superheat...there are features of primordial space..ripples that cause something where nothing was. Most of the universe is nothing anyway, and we as beings of stuff see it as more important but the nothing is just as important. It makes things whirl and twirl without major messes. Also allows infinite expansion which is a good limit. None. Is our universe a pocket in a larger system? Maybe, there's math that suggests it. And that's enough of that.

Time is also a static dimension we just don't perceive it as such because we're mortal and temporally biased.
