Actually there’s a LOT of ideas on what was before the big bang.

Have any links? I am highly interested. thanks

There’s 3 major theories:
the previous version of this universe, contracting to death until it caused the big bang (which theory also includes how this one ends)
something in a universe next door made a hole in their reality which “banged” ours into existence
a very extremely high level of nothing (which could be tied to the previous theory)

Here’s kind of a survey:

Here’s a discussion on why it doesn’t matter:

Here’s one that says it was so nothing there wasn’t even time so functionally there is no before:

Here’s some really heady over view stuff:

And many many more.

And then of course there’s still theories that compete with the big bang. Outside of climate change there’s really not that much settled science, especially when it comes to things you can’t experiment on.
