Atoms were created 300,000 years after the big bang when the universe had finally cooled down enough. Did gravity exist before that point in time? If so what did it act like? thanks :)

The current scientific understanding is that gravity did not exist before the Big Bang. According to the theory of General Relativity, gravity is a fundamental force that is a result of the curvature of space-time caused by the presence of matter and energy. Before the Big Bang, there was no matter or energy, and therefore no space-time for gravity to act upon.
There is no evidence or theoretical framework that suggests gravity could have existed in a different form before the Big Bang. The laws of physics, including the theory of General Relativity, break down at the singularity of the Big Bang. Therefore, we cannot make any definitive statements about the nature of gravity before this event.
The concept of a singularity, a point of infinite density and curvature, makes it impossible for us to accurately describe the state of the Universe before the Big Bang. It is at this singularity that the laws of physics, including the theory of General Relativity, break down. Therefore, we cannot make any definitive statements about the existence or nature of gravity before the Big Bang.
While we cannot definitively say whether gravity existed before the Big Bang or not, the current scientific understanding is that gravity is a fundamental force that has always existed. The Big Bang is thought to be the beginning of the expansion of the Universe, not the creation of gravity itself.
Studying the effects of gravity in the early Universe, such as the formation of structures like galaxies and galaxy clusters, can provide insight into the conditions of the early Universe and the processes that led to the formation of the Universe we see today. This can help us better understand the Big Bang and the evolution of the Universe. However, it does not necessarily provide answers to the question of whether gravity existed before the Big Bang.
