What I am suggesting is that the universe was caused by something not reliant on time, that existed on a different plane.
Finally. Something coherent.
Gonna assume you mean dimensions here? because "planes of existence" is metaphysics. Positing an extra dimension is not beyond reason. But dimensions are spatial. And space only came into existence after the big bang.
If you mean plane of existence, you'll need to explain what you mean.
"Metaphysical" would be a good term for it. The uncaused cause transcends space and does not rely upon or experience it in the way biological organisms do. It is not only timeless, but spaceless, and was able to create space for organisms to experience while not being affected by it.
I believe I am still correct in saying "plane of existence".
