I mean... the way to answer it would be:
What are the implications/predictions of your theory?
Can any of those be measured?
If yes: Well, go on and measure that and see if the data support or refute your theory.
In no: Sorry, this is not science.
There are definitely lots of top physicists trying to answer questions like this right now. Although they probably won't have any of their work verified in their life time. Always used to annoy me how people would just disregard the question "what was there before the big bang" because what we know as time didn't exist before the big bang, but that's not really what the question is asking and there are a few hypotheses about exactly this.

The question that used to piss me off was we'd get told "matter can't be created or destroyed", which leaves to the obvious question where did it come from then? Which I never really had answered by a teacher, when in reality this isn't the case and it's just a simplified theory of what is really happening which when I found out I didn't really understand why it couldn't be explained to a 14 year old.
