After reading a few chapters of an astrophysics/ cosmology book, I took some time to think about the big bang and what existed before it. After thinking, I thought, "What if the big bang wasn't the beginning of existence? What if it were a just a big event that happened over the course of the existence?" Eventually, I came up with a hypothesis that maybe, the big bang was caused by a sort of hypernova? Before the big bang, there may have been a supermassive object like a star or black hole. An object millions of times larger than any we know of. What if this object were to collapse into itself under its own gravity and create a neutron star. The excess gases and debris would be flung out into space and eventually form small nebulae then stars and eventually, the debris from the supernovae would form planets and so on, which would get us to the present. I am sure this sounds completely ridiculous, but I am not an expert on cosmology (I am only 17), but if anyone has any opinions on this, please let me know. Thank you
