“Before” the Big Bang is nonsense. It’s equivalent to saying “head north from the North Pole.”

That's nonsense. You think some massive amount of matter just materialized from nothing into a singular point? How do you think all the stuff managed to get there in the first place?

Not just matter but time as well. That's what they were referring to. There is no "before time".

Regarding your rethorical question: go find an answer and you're sure to win the Nobel Prize.

Absolutely nothing is a reliable constant except the speed of light.

But the speed of light changes. It can be slowed down. It just doesn't change while moving through outer space (a vacuum). The maximum speed is the constant.
