Physicists may have found a substance that existed before the Big Bang
https://bgr.com/science/physicists-may-have-found-a-substance-that-existed-before-the-big-bang/
For decades, scientists have viewed the Big Bang as the starting point of space and time. But research into cosmic inflation—the lightning-fast expansion that likely occurred before the Big Bang itself—has complicated that view. If inflation happened first, it may have left behind subtle fingerprints in the cosmic microwave background, the faint radiation still echoing from the universe’s birth.
