"beginning" is a misnomer, since time itself started with the Big Bang. There is no such thing as "before" the singularity, as time and space were curved together.

There are many theories that portray time as existing before the big bang.

  • Well, do the calculations of how long it takes for all mass to move around in the initial moments of the big bang. You'll realize that the closer one gets to the singularity, the slower time passes due to time dilation, which means that you'll get the whole eternity to reach the singularity. It only looks like a few seconds from our point of view, looking at the big bang.
