What happened before the Big Bang? Computational method may provide answers

Scientists from UK universities propose using numerical relativity and supercomputer simulations to address unresolved questions about cosmic inflation, multiverse, and cyclic universes.

Summary by Phys.org
We're often told it is "unscientific" or "meaningless" to ask what happened before the Big Bang. But a new paper by FQxI cosmologist Eugene Lim, of King's College London, UK, and astrophysicists Katy Clough, of Queen Mary University of London, UK, and Josu Aurrekoetxea, at Oxford University, UK, published in Living Reviews in Relativity, proposes a way forward: using complex computer simulations to numerically (rather than exactly) solve Einstei…
