To ponder what happened before is actually possible. We haven't mentioned it yet, but there is a theory that the universe oscillates. The universe will expand, slow to a stop, then collapse then start over again.
Agree. But it still doesn’t answer the question of how/when the oscillations started.

But the oscillations have been there forever! Forever? What’s that? We’re back to the beginning of the discussion again.
