You can't apply any sort of logic to a no data situation especially when the universe is compacting in and the laws of physics may not remotely be what we are familiar with.


Would I not be correct in thinking that the data to which you refer stops short at about 10^-35s after the Big Bang?

If there is no data prior to that, why would any scientist accept that there was a Big Bang? After all, "no data is no data".

There never was nothing.
