Cosmology deals with the physical situation that is the context in the large for human existence (Christopher Smeenk, George Ellis)
On the one hand, the argument arises from human curiosity as to why there is something rather than nothing or than something else. It invokes a concern for some full, complete, ultimate, or best explanation of what exists contingently. On the other hand, it raises intrinsically important philosophical questions about contingency and necessity, causation and explanation, part/whole relationships (mereology), possible worlds, infinity, sets, the nature of time, and the nature and origin of the universe (Bruce Reichenbach)

Dark Matter May Be Older Than The Big Bang, Study Suggests
A new mathematical model suggests dark matter may have been produced before the big bang during cosmic inflation, when space was expanding rapidly

How did the universe begin? How will it end?
Scientists think the universe began with a bang. A big bang. The Big Bang theory...is the most widely accepted theory for how the universe started. How it will end…that’s a “dark” mystery.
