Nothing. The theory only examines the time from t=0 (universe begins) to now.

I don't know if this theory helps with the what was before our universe question. How was that universe that created ours created? An infnite unending chain of universes? My answer sounds a lot like Richards dawkins answer to what created "god"? A more powerful god? Then what created that one? Etc. Etc.

Anyways I don't think we will ever know what happened before the big bang, because there was not a before the big bang

Yes, in a way the question violates the domain. Just like : What was your favorite color 10 years before you were born? or If you have 5 apples is distribute them evenly between your 0 friends, how many apples does each friend have?

I never understood it much myself. Everything was all compacted together and it finally just exploded. They say the universe will expand and contrace over and over.

I don't think that's a very popular theory.

Big Bang was quiet a theory but it's a pretty goofy one.
