According to the big bang theory, which describes the universe before the actual big bang occurred? a-multiple, cold, dense points, each larger than the sun b-multiple, hot, dense points, each smaller than an atom c-single, cold, dense point larger than the sun d-single, hot, dense point smaller than an atom

The best choice, I guess is D. single, hot, dense point smaller than an atom.

The part I have a problem with is where it says "before the actual big bang".  In its current state, the theory says that TIME itself began with the big bang, so there's no such thing as "before" it.  (I know that doesn't make any sense, but that's what we've got.)

The question should have said something like  "at the instant of the big bang".

The answer is D. on EDGEN.
