The discussion revolves around the ultimate fate of the Universe, exploring concepts such as the potential for a new Big Bang and the implications of Dark Energy. Participants engage with questions about the nature of time and existence prior to the Big Bang, examining both theoretical and conceptual aspects of cosmology.
Participants generally agree that the question of what existed before the Big Bang remains unresolved, with multiple views on the implications of this uncertainty. However, there is contention regarding the acceptance of this uncertainty, particularly from one participant who expresses frustration over repeated inquiries into the same topic.
The discussion highlights limitations in understanding cosmological concepts, particularly regarding the definitions of time and the nature of existence prior to the Big Bang. There are unresolved questions about the implications of Dark Energy and the future of the universe.

@curious222 -- Have you done any reading about Dark Energy and the measurements behind that advancement in our models of the Universe?

Nobody knows, as we've said to you before.curious222 said:What existed before the big bang?
I see that you keep getting threads closed because you REFUSE to accept the answer you've been told several times. WE DON'T KNOW.curious222 said:What existed before the big bang?
It's even worse. We cannot know. We cannot even pose the question! @curious222's "before" means ##T<0##, but ##T## is only defined in the range ##T>0##. There was no time prior to time!phinds said:I see that you keep getting threads closed because you REFUSE to accept the answer you've been told several times. WE DON'T KNOW.
