Before the Big Bang

Greetings.

Yes. You want to know what happened BEFORE the Big Bang. You know you do. So did I. Now I know, and I'm gonna share it with you.

Okay, this is not pure science. It's speculation, of a sort.

Actually, it's a story. Last August of 2006, I had surgery. The combination of anasthesia, pain killers, and other drugs kept me loopy for four days. I slept a lot in the days, I lay awake (but barely sane) much of the nights. I hallucinated. And I had this dream. It was a nightmare, but not scary enough to wake me up. Everytime I closed my eyes, I was back in the same nightmare. Even when awake. Wierd. Not something I wish to experience again. Trust me on this.

Over the days, the nightmare emerged as a story. This story. Four months later, I wrote it all down in longhand in one sitting. Later, I typed it up. There were very few edits, so you are being presented basically the original, untouched story. This is how I experienced it. This is the story as told to me by Alph.

What is it a story about? It's about what happened before the Big Bang. You know you wanna know.

Enjoy.

Comments welcome.

Re: Before the Big Bang

Not strings, not branes, but tetroids. You're on to something here Pyro (or at least you were on something )...

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars,

I find one reference uncannily similar:

When you and I are long gone the sun will expand to consume the earth, and turn it into nourishment for future generations.
So for now….. Value… Definition….and Properties, are wrapped up in the fact that ‘Everything is Recylable'


Except for the use of 'brane, instead of tetroids, of which I am only now aware of, I feel that both of us are on the same 'track'.
Only yours is more articulated.
Defiantly a good read!


P.S. I did find the reference to three sentient beings courious though.......

Re: Before the Big Bang

From what I understand, there was no "before the Big Bang." This was the beginning in the truest sense.

It is the mind playing tricks. If I told you what was before the Big Bang, you would want to know what was before that, and before that, and before that..........

not up to date on this stuff but is the steady state theory still an option? if so, this would fit nicely... IF I remember it correctly
