Nobody knows what predates the Big Bang. Nobody even knows if there was a Big Bang event. "In 1927, Belgian physicist-priest Georges Lemaître (1894-1966) [] theorized that the Universe was receding in response to an initial "explosion" event that created space-time, which had been regarded as separate until Einstein's Relativity theory conjoined them."
