Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...

It is one of cosmology’s most perplexing questions: what happened before the Big Bang? Although the question has been debated for decades—with some even viewing it as a matter that should be left to ...
