    Nothing. It’s the same nothing that existed where we are right now, right at the moment the Big Bang occurred. It’s so nothing, that astrophysicists theorize that time doesn’t even exist there yet.

      Time is a property of spacetime, its own dimension. We have no reason to believe that time can exist without being part of spacetime.
