Something that our minds cannot even comprehend..

Like for instance the collapse of another universe, as proposed by (some theory or other, I don't know which). And that brings up this question - if the Big Bang was caused by the collapse of another universe, then would that be considered arbitrary or caused? I suppose it depends on which model of the universe is being postulated for the exercise.

That or an endless list of creators. Or our universe always existed.

The universe is then just redefined as a chain of 'universes' (for lack of a better name) 'collapsing' and starting new ones with a 'big bang'. The question is then is this universe caused?
