  Are you sure about that? The Big Bang theory cannot go back to the
initial singularity because there are no established theories which could
be used to describe what happened when the universe was smaller than a
certain (larger-than-zero) size. As wikipedia puts it: "there is no physical
model that can explain the earliest moments of the universe's existence
(Planck time) because of a lack of a consistent theory of quantum gravity."

  There's thus a finite limit beyond which current theories cannot go
because of lacking theories. Hence it's impossible to say what exactly
happened before that.
