Time and space would be among the possibilities.

Very interesting thought. Do you have an idea when you’d publish it?

There is nothing ‘before time’, because the whole concept of time is illusatory. Time is something we humans have created cognitively by observing movements in the universe, and putting them in relation to one another. Clocks merely estimate and record these movements—not ‘time’.

Accordingly, time does not exist, and to imply so misguides the whole idea of existence itself. Thus, because time does not exist, nothing can be said to have existed ‘before’ it.
