Nice wording You mean how it happened but not why? Not what caused it? I've never observed "why" as being a useful question, not making any contextual sense at all and at best implying purpose, making it a loaded question.

As to what caused it, it is very difficult to observe evidence of something that occured before the ultimate reset, before our time line actually began. "Before" has no meaning here.
I don't entirely understand your wording (ironic really), but I'll explain what I meant. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, is this not true? The same is true for energy, no? So, when the Big Band occurred (not that I believe that it did, I'm just saying this for arguments sake) matter and energy must have already existed. But how did that matter and energy come into existence? Did it always exist, just in a different form, or it did it come into being at one point at time? That is what I was referring to.

Why and how are arguably related.

Edit: It probably was unnecessary for me to say 'plausible', but plausible only really matters for the period of time in which you use it. For example, in the olden days, it was generally accepted that the world was flat, and the idea that it was round was ridiculous, it was still a theory, even if (back then) it was considered implausible.
