    Is it really so crazy to think that it might have always existed? I mean, it is very bold of us to assume that it is not possible to not have a starting point when there is so much we just don’t know. We barely understand the physics of our universe when things start to get wonky.

      In the grand scheme of things I guess it is not. The problem is that statement is infalsifiable, like the Last Thursdayism theory. Therefore, it falls into more of philosophical space, where Occam’s Razor would eliminate this because the alternative requires less assumption. It isn’t wrong, it just requires much more assumptions to be correct in order to work.

        It is a bummer to think that we likely will never figure out for sure what happened before the big bang.
