A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Your argument is not defending your position.

If we say the Big bang is true, and it's the creation of all matter. That would include the constituent elements of matter. Even if some elements have a longer lifespan than others, that doesn't speak to when they were created.

It's perfectly possible there's a different model, the better represents reality, that would allow for something to exist before the Big bang, but that would not be the Big bang theory. That would be a different theory, if we're working with the Big bang theory then nothing existed before it.
