Nature of Primodial Existance before bigbang

In summary, there are various competing ideas for what may have occurred before the big bang, such as the "big bounce," "loop quantum cosmology," "Ekpyrotic," "eternal inflation," "Conformal cyclic cosmology," "Horava gravity," "can the universe create itself," "Baum Frampton model," and "Caroll Chen model." However, none of these ideas have observational support at this time and it may not even be possible to observe anything before the big bang. While some of these ideas have been modeled, it is uncertain which one, if any, is correct and it is possible that a new, undiscovered idea may provide a better explanation. It is also not impossible that these models could

It is understood that the universe could be understood only from 10 -43 sec after big bang. is there any study or information about the nature/physics of primodial existence before bigbang

That is still a work in progress. Many ideas, but, none have observational support at present.

It may not even be possible to observe anything before the big bang. If so, then any ideas would forever remain unsupported.

Some of the idea thhat Chronos described can be found if you google some of these phrases:
"big bounce" "loop quanutm cosmology" "Ekpyrotic" "eternal inflation" "Conformal cyclic cosmology" "Horava gravity" "can the unvierse create itself" "Baum Frampton model" "Caroll Chen Model". these are all competing ideas for what might have happened pre big bang. We don't whch are correct, maybe the correct idea is still to be discovered, maybe its one of the above.

Is not indefinite and singular, that is simply a prediction based upon applying Gr to the early universe. But there’s nothing to say that we can’t use a more improved theory of gravity of Gr. To say such it can’t be modeled is baseless. It has already bee modeled, here is an example:
http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.4703
Of course such results might be wrong, but to say it cannot be done is without justification.
Nor is it impossible such models can be tested in the future. Sure we are not there yet and you are right not be too satisfied. But to say something hasn’t been done yet does not mean it can’t be done.
 

1. What was the universe like before the big bang?

The concept of time did not exist before the big bang, so the question of what the universe was like is not applicable. The universe did not have a specific shape or form, and all matter and energy were condensed into a single point known as a singularity.

2. What caused the big bang to occur?

The cause of the big bang is still a subject of debate among scientists. Some theories suggest that it was triggered by quantum fluctuations or the collision of multiple universes. However, the exact cause is still unknown and may remain a mystery.

3. Did life exist before the big bang?

It is highly unlikely that life existed before the big bang. The conditions necessary for life, such as the existence of stars and planets, did not exist until after the big bang. Additionally, the concept of time did not exist before the big bang, so the idea of life existing is not applicable.

4. Can we ever know what existed before the big bang?

As of now, it is not possible to know what existed before the big bang. The laws of physics, as we know them, break down at the singularity, making it difficult to study or understand what may have existed before the big bang. However, scientists continue to explore theories and models to better understand the nature of the universe before the big bang.

5. Will the universe eventually return to a singularity like it was before the big bang?

It is currently unknown what the ultimate fate of the universe will be. Some theories suggest that the universe will continue to expand forever, while others propose that it will eventually collapse back into a singularity. More research and evidence are needed to determine the fate of the universe.
