  No one really knows maybe just a big empty space, the big bang blows my mind i cant really comprehend it!

  It’s a good question! I think it points to a limit of science, science can only verify what can be measured. Since we have not measured anything from before the big bang we can only guess what happened before. A possibility is that space-time might have been bent in all sorts of weird ways so that the idea of “before” the big bang might not make sense.
