"What made the Big Bang Bang?"

See post # 55 by Physicist:
"In fact, a hell of a lot happened before that event took place."

I agree, but the concept is so overwhelming about how, in the "nothingness" a "hell of a lot happened." It really is gigantic intellectual ideation - hard to grasp, let alone articulate, but I agree. "...a hell of a lot happened" before the Big Bang banged.

Maybe nothing happenned at all before something happenned.We assume an action reaction response but eventually at the end of all reason we face infinity where each layer reveals another layer and so on. How thin can we slice a second of time? What is the highest possible energies we can probe to find the smallest parts of matter? Conceptualization of something before the beginning of the universe we are apart of and the rules of which govern every atom and every possible perception we experience leaves us with a wall that can not be breached unless of course we are more than the universe which our physical bodies are a part.

By "that event" I wasn't referring to the Big Bang. I was referring to electroweak symmetry breaking, which happened a trillionth of a second later. That trillionth of a second was a very busy time.

I don't agree that a hell of a lot happened before the Big Bang. There isn't a hell of a lot that is south of the South Pole, now, is there?
