How far back in the event chain of existance can we go before it breaks down?

Big bang.

The current view is that some field dumped a shitton of energy into the void to cause the big bang. Which begs the question, how did this field have all this energy to begin with? So we are at least 2 steps before the big bang.

Yeah whatever triggered the big bang singularity to blow up pretty much had all of the energy in the entire universe in it already from the beginning. The inflation period happened so early and so quickly that if energy was being kind of fed into the universe over some longer period then we wouldn't see matter as spread out across the universe as it currently is. So the energy was either always there or it just appeared somehow all at once

No, the math breaks down before you even get to the big bang which is why some people like to claim that it took a picosecond after the big bang before the laws of spacetime actually formed.

Look it’s one thing to admit that current theories break down there. It’s quite another to insist nothing happened before because current theories (that already have holes in them) break down.

Most agree the big bang was not the start of the causal chain.

OP asked when it breaks down, not how much further we can guess after actual calculation breaks down and it breaks down before you even get to the bang itself which is why you have to speculate instead of apply the theory for the first picosecond of expansion and before.

If they are being honest, they agree that the model breaks down instead of coherently predicting any start of the chain.

You’re right. I just want some spitball ideas of what could’ve happened.

that matters exactly zero. there is virtually no difference between nobody agreeing and everybody agreeing on any fact, as far as what was/is

It will just be guesswork and which of the five modes of Agrippa is personally most satisfying to you once you go past the point the calculations breaks down which is what OP actually asked about rather than nonsensical speculation.

Well, as we live in superdeterministic universe, we can go as deep as our capability of understanding with our present intelligence allows us. Someday we might be able to remodel the whole history just by hard math. Imagine that you could live the times of past, not by timetravelling, but by tracking causalities, calculating and then adding that information to a full sense virtual reality machine.

If a person went back in time to ancient Egypt and created the reality they thought was there and that was our past. And what he thought was there in ancient Egypt was based on what he knew here. What's here would be from what was there in ancient Egypt when he went back, and what was there would be our past based on what was here in the present before he left.

It never breaks down, think in terms of cycles. Circles and not straight lines.

So it breaks down when any linearity is introduced?
