    Seriously, if you want to learn more about the Big Bang and how there is no before, try Paul Davies "The Last Three Minutes". It's quite short and well written. Of course there is always Stephen Hawkin's "A Short History of Time".

    As for proving how the creation of dimensions such as time and space happened, well, you're gonna have to learn super string theory.
    I would have checked it out, if I wasn't already forced to read some 2000 pages per month
    Anyway I think these super strings and so on might just be a complicated and unintuitive way of saying something simple. Some examples of such situations:
    - Einstein's theory of relativity says certain waves move straight through space, but space is bent. You could also say (easier to understand I think) that space is straight, but those certain waves bend off.
    - Before Kepler it was said that the earth was the center of the solar system. Kepler stated the sun was the center. Both starting points could give pretty accurate models, but putting the sun in the middle made it easier to describe and understand the planet movements in few words.

    So I think these super strings are just an overly complicated way of describing the universe. Some parts of it seem to just be assumptions - for example that not all dimensions have existed always...
