Stephen Hawking might have the answer for what existed before Big Bang

One can regard imaginary and real-time as beginning at the South Pole, which is a smooth point of space-time where the normal laws of physics hold. There is nothing south of the South Pole, so there was nothing around before the big bang.

Well, this all gritty science might be a bit difficult to grab for us humans, but to put it in layman’s terms the answer would be there was nothing before Bing Bang. At one moment there was nothing and the next moment all those events took place which initiated the process for the existence of human beings.

The depth of all this explanation by Hawking could be a little overwhelming and most humans may never be able to understand his point, but it all comes to one word and that is there was “nothing”.
