Could energy have predated the Big Bang?
A popular phrase I've heard suggests that it did.

David Mc,
The creation of energy was the first step in the creation of the universe. Without the condensation of energy there can be no dispacement or gravity.

Not all matter is energy and all energy is matter. Energy is either condensed(matter), or it is free(expanding). All matter is condensed energy and expands at a slower rate than "free energy".

Light is not mass, light is a wave that travels in the pattern of creation or the "free energy". The pattern of creation is constant, therefore the speed of light is constant.

I urge questions, because it is so hard to forget years of learning the wrong information.
