There is, and has always been, everything. The observable expansion of the universe (everything) suggests that everything once occupied a single point... and 'everything' includes time. By definition, there can be no before. Everything is everything. There can be no nothing.
Doesn't the 'bubble universes' hypothesis claim that space & time exist as some sort of 'in potentia' framework in which 'bubbles' of universe form through whatever functions 'cause' the expansion of a universe (e.g big bang)?
Or am I talking gibberish?
Well. Before the discovery of the affect of dark energy on the expansion of the universe, there was growing support for the collapsing universe theory. One universe is born, expands, and then collapses under its own gravitation forces much like a star; then another universe and then another and another etc. follow the same pattern.
For the theory you posted, that is in the realm of string theory and is untestable given our current lack of understanding on the dynamics between the macro and the microcosmic worlds.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
