Millacol88 said:"What occurred before T = 0?" is an interesting one. I think questions like this are more suited to philosophy than physics ;)

Strange thing to say. Where did magic come into it?jadrian said:meh i don't think our universe needed any magic.

It is a very intriguing question what caused the universe to come into being. But there's no way we can expect any evidence that will illuminate it, which is the reason is will likely be a philosophical question for a long, long time.

I writ my reasoning: because there's no expectation of any evidence to be forthcoming of any events preceding the BB.Oldfart said:That seems to me to be a rather pessimistic appraisal, what is your reasoning?

No information from T < 0 will survive the BB. No information = no evidence. We can philosophize, but we can't make any models with any predictive properties. And if it can't be falsified, it's not a theory.

At least I think there are some distressed faces today saying "Why didn't we check if that cable was properly connected?"."And now? How do we cope with this?"
hmmm - to me, it boils down to "what is a field?...[]"
