How was the universe created other than the Big Bang?

Was there another universe before the Big Bang?

Sir Roger Penrose has claimed there was another universe that existed before the Big Bang, and black holes could provide the proof. The 89-year-old scientist has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for a paper explaining how black holes form.

Do black holes prove the universe existed before the Big Bang?

Before the Big Bang brought about the universe we know, there was another universe and black holes could be proof of its existence, claims Nobel prize winner. Sir Roger Penrose won the Nobel Prize for Physics for a paper that used Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to prove black holes exist and explain how they form.

Is the Big Bounce a big bang or Big Bang?
