What were conditions like before the Big Bang?

Answer 1

Since there was no space or time we can not think about an event before big bang.

There is nothing to consider about time and space prior to the big bang because they originated with it.

It is not accurate to describe conditions "before the Big Bang" because our current understanding of the universe does not go back far enough. The Big Bang theory describes the early development of the universe from an extremely hot and dense state, but it does not address what, if anything, preceded it. It is possible that the Big Bang is when time itself began, meaning that there is no practical way to speak of conditions "before" it.
