The universe has a bang and the time is known, or it was beyond the alleged bang and then we don't know.
The universe was a point, or a slightly larger point not including zero, or bigger, or even infinite at the bang. Stuff happened after.
Bottom line, the observable universe limits don't mater in the scope of the big bang. You have to observe new physics or evidence for new physics.
I LOVE the observable universe, and will not speculate beyond that.
When people pontificate about the Big Bang they sound exactly like theists telling us God did it. That's probably because a Catholic priest came up with the idea. It's just another branch of religion that needs special rules to explain what happened.
Explain... Which parts of BB are religious dogma?
