Wat was there before the big bang is a question that is subject to all kinds of opinions. Why? Because we have nothing to examine. There is no experiment that we can execute to get some answers. At the moment of the big bang the space time came into existence, and before that... Einsteins general relativity has no answers, quantum mechanics has no answers. Maybe the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) can give some suggestions here.
I am still amazed about the almost exact definition of the variables. A little bit more of this and there should have been no planets at all, a little less of that and no stars would have formed.
Maybe there was an influence of some kind. Maybe..
