We're talking about events before the Big Bang. "Before the Big Bang" is a meaningless construct - time started with the Big Bang. There is no "before".

It it very pretentious and 'all-knowing' and pure nonsense to state that there was nothing before the big bang. Neither you nor anyone else has seen what was before the big bang to be able to tell us that there actually was nothing. And, there isn't or never has been a scientist that could claim that there wasn't anything before the big bang.

It's a consequence of the math. I'm sure I can solicit some textbook recommendations if you like.
