1. It is possible that every universe is formed in a blackhole – an infinite universe-blackhole-universe chain. We don’t know what “infinity” means in this scenario, so we can’t simply rule it out. For comparison, Aristotle ruled out an infinite chain of causes, which we now know (with the help of hindsight, of course) is a flawed conclusion.
2. We don’t know whether our universe is big or small compared with other universes. We don’t know whether, or how, it makes sense to compare sizes between universes.
Big Bang is arguably the biggest speculation in modern science.
