The
general consensus is that space and time began with the Big Bang and
everything expanded from a mathematical point. It wasn't as though there
was a massive explosion and then everything expanded into a huge,
pre-existing void. We couldn't identify a point in space today where the
Big Bang occurred and put a plaque at it marking the event. In a sense
it occurred everywhere. Before the Big Bang, there was no space, it was
created, as was time. So there was also no "before" the Big Bang.
"Nothing
was around before the Big Big(sic) Bang" according to Stephen Hawking
in this interview where he discusses the concept of four dimensional
"spacetime".
