Abstract

We don’t know what was there before Big Bang. I’ll say it right away, because it is the answer to one of the questions I get asked most often. Or rather, let’s say that maybe it makes no sense asking ourselves what was there. Or let’s say it is of no interest to us, but only because we do not know what answer to give. In the end, let’s forget it.
