Stehphen Hawking is taking another approach to this inquiry. He favors a model of the universe that follows all the laws of physics. But like a novel that begs for more questions, he concludes that one cannot ask what happened before the Big Bang because nothing existed before then in scientific terms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Kp0rQ23PY If you all have the time, you should watch the entire series of clips, five in all. >
