Ihavenofingerprints : that link you provided is interesting because Krzysztof Bolejko at the University of Sydney suggests that inflation could have happened before the Big Bang in a Universe that was eternal. But a problem is that the point at which it could have began cannot be referenced because t = 0 is infinity and that is not a quantity that can be practically measured One therefore has to get as close to it as possible instead which is Planck time. But why cannot a hypothetical mathematical model of t = 0 not be possible ? Is it that it would be unreliable because it could not be falsified ? By the same logic then quantum gravity could never be falsified either because it is impossible to actually see what happens inside a black hole
