What was before the Big Bang Theory?

[Adamaja456]

I've seen more and more scientists support the Big Bang Theory. They say that about 13.7 billion years ago, the entire universe was a singularity and all of the sudden, it exploded and created the universe which is still expanding right now.

My question is what existed BEFORE the Big Bang. Say 14 billion years ago when the entire universe was down to a singularity, what was surrounded it? Nothing? As in no atoms?
no protons, neutron, electrons?

I'm pretty sure there's some made up theory that justifies it. My favorite one is where the universe expands after the big bang, and the contracts into a big crunch, then repeats this cycle over and over again.

There's absolutely no way anyone can know, as the laws of nature break down at the Big Bang.

As such, all we can give is baseless speculation, not Critical Thinking.
