Where is the edge of the universe? Was there a big bang? What existed before the big bang?

As an amateur scientist, software engineer and all that crap, I think those questions either have no answer or will lead to further questions, etc.

I have to agree that some questions are frivolous and others are unproductive.
However, I posit that questions about the universe, its composition, and even its origins post-creation are worthwhile.
Many times they do lead to more questions. Some of those questions are unanswerable due to our limited lifespan and point of reference.
However, sometimes questions can direct us to clues that offer deeper understanding of what we see and how things work. These are definitely worthwhile.

“questions about the universe, its composition, and even its origins post-creation are worthwhile.”

Partially correct, but “post-creation”? Is there a “pre-creation”? That’s where I get off the bus.
