O.K I try, but first I need to put some information on the table: 1) Space is something: Based on the "The Fabric of the Cosmos" by physicist Brian Greene, Space has properties that can not be ignored.... It can stretch, twist, warp, and ripple under the influence of gravity. Albert Einstein general relativity His equations of general relativity predict a number of phenomena, many of which have been confirmed: -bending of light around massive objects (gravitational lensing) -a slow evolution in the orbit of the planet Mercury (perihelion precession) -frame dragging of space-time around rotating bodies -weakening of light escaping gravity's pull (gravitational redshift) - speeding up in the rotational periods of binary stars and pulsars -gravitational waves (ripples in space-time fabric) caused by cosmic smashups -the existence of black holes that trap everything including light 2)The existence of Voids & Super-voids: -Cosmic voids, and supervoids, are large volumes of space that are devoid of matter. This link has some of the latest information on cosmic voids. 3) Stephen Hawking: Story of Everything So to answer to Your question: Space didn't exist before the Big Bang, It was created with the big bang. What existed before the big bang? It's still an open question. What if before the Big Bang there was nothing, just a empty infinite void. And then the Big Bang happen, The expansion of the universe began. If this empty infinite void before the Big Bang exist, then it could be that is acting like a vacuum, pulling the Universe ( and SPACE ) in every direction..... since there is no resistance, there is no deceleration........ Since all the matter / energy / space was created in the big bang event, and the Universe still expanding, then eventually voids or super-voids will begin to fill the gaps caused by this vacuum effect pulling the universe apart.

But when You look back to Newton Law of Gravity, everything had an explanation... except the orbit of Mercury, it was Einstein special theory of relativity that was able to explain the perihelion precession of Mercury The paradox about Dark matter is quite simple: 1) It has mass. 2) It affect the rotational speeds of galaxies. 3) It can create gravitational lensing.... ( Its capable to bend space-time ) But no one cant see it, feel it, smell it or even taste it. There are much more things to learn and discover about the Universe, it may take years to fully understand how everything works, but theories like Dark matter or Dark energy feel more like an easy answer to a complicated question. For example... Dark energy... The hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe. So... because Galaxies are accelerating away from each other, there must be some kind of energy making them to go faster.... .... what if the Universe is not being push.... what if the Universe is being pull on every direction by the void before its creation.

Thanks. :)

Hello peps, first post on this forums. I have been thinking a lot about Dark Matter / Dark Energy and something click inside my head, and If i don't let it out it may explode. Dark Matter: The reason why the theory is on the table has to do to the fact that Galaxies rotation does not behave as predicted, like on a Solar System for example, where planets close to the Sun orbit is fast, and planets like Neptune orbits slow around the Sun. In a Galaxy, everything orbits around the center at the same speed. So to make sense, Dark Matter was added to the evacuation. It cant be seen, but it can be detected ( Gravitational lensing ) Once I learn that gravitational lensing was used to detect Dark Matter, I realized there could be another reason for this abnormality. What if..... the reason Galaxies seem to rotate at the same speed is an illusion caused by Super Massive Black Holes in the center of the Galaxies slowing down Time ( Time = Measurement of movement ). It was Einstein's general theory of relativity that was the base to understand black holes. Where gravity affects time. The more mass an object has, the more it can slow down time. I think Super Massive Black holes in the center of Galaxies are slowing down time ( movement ) in the center of galaxies, but the effect does not extend all the way trough the Galaxy , so the center that should be moving fast... moves slow, but the rest of the Galaxy rotates at normal speed, making the illusion that the Galaxy is rotating at the same speed. This super Gravitational field on the center of each Galaxy should be detected by gravitational lensing.
