If the big bang is true, then what created the particles that were around before the big bang?

The particle is usually called the inflaton which was the excitation of the 'inflaton field' which was a scalar field that was responsible for the inflation of the early universe. There was no singularity at the Big Bang. The inflaton started the inflation immediately - no singularity was formed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
