Pre-Big Bang

What?

It may be possible to glimpse before the supposed beginning of time into the universe prior to the Big Bang, researchers now say.

Say again? I was under the impression that time itself was created in the Big Bang according to the theory.

Recently scientists have instead suggested the Big Bang might have just been the explosive beginning of the current era of the universe, hinting at a mysterious past.

You mean that their time-cherished theory might be a load of tripe, that they might not actually know that much about our origins?
