Hi everyone!
My physics teacher and I were having an educated debate this afternoon about the laws of physics before the Big Bang.
My teacher believes there can't have been nothing before the Big Bang, as you cannot get something from nothing.
I then rebutted this with if there was truly nothing before the Big Bang then there would be no laws of physics and therefore nothing to say that something cannot come from nothing.
I don't think I really convinced my teacher and he is free to hold his own views, as I know nothing more than he does about the origins of the universe.
I was however wondering what other theories and hypothesises there are as to what was 'before' the Big Bang.
