Because if that's true, and you can demonstrate it, that would be news to a whole bunch of physicists that have been working on that particular problem.
Your Nobel prize awaits.
Before the big bang is not a scientific question and hence why no scientific theory has been proposed to explain it. Multi verse theory is not a scientific because it has no way of giving concrete experimental data. ex nihilo is a philosophical problem not a scientific problem because ex nihilio does not exist in science because the concept of nothing does not exist. Science can only deal with space time and matter. If none of those are present science cannot be applied.
And yet, despite all of the problems that this question presents, you claim that the question has been answered sufficiently to rule out an eternal universe.
What you have failed to do is demonstrate HOW this question has been answered.
We'll wait.
