If te existence of the multiverse is real, What happened Just before the big bang
If the multiverse is real, then there must have been a moment where it did not exist. This means that before the big bang there was no such thing as time and space, only an absolute nothingness. If this is true then humans are unable to understand what happened at this point since they would be relying on concepts like time (which does not exist outside of our universe) and space (also non-existent in this realm). The term "Big Bang" is silly because it implies we know exactly what happened when reality began. In fact, scientists today do not even agree on whether or not the Big Bang actually created space and time out of nothingness or if everything always existed.
The concept of a multiverse is one that can be understood in many ways and so I will express my view on the subject. If there are infinitesimally small universes inside this universe, then it follows logically that these universes must have existed before this universe came into being since they would always exist in some form or another. This means that the Big Bang could not have been the "beginning" of time itself but rather only the beginning of our universe.
Another interesting fact is that in a multiverse, there must be some universes where time moves backwards. In these timelines things would appear to happen from the end to the beginning of certain events. This means that if humans evolved on one of these planets then our perception of time might be different than here on earth.
Humans are very good at pattern recognition, so if you ask a human to tell the difference between an apple and an orange she would say that they look different. She might also point out that apples grow on trees while oranges don't. But in fact there is no reason for this to be true; it is just a pattern of thought humans have adopted over time.
Most humans think that the differences between oranges and apples are very big, but in fact there is no way to prove this. What if I told you that app"les grow on a tree while oranges don't? The only proof of this would be your perception of how they look (apples have pointy ends while oranges are round). But this proves nothing except for the fact that humans have adopted certain belief patterns over time.
The same thing applies to the multiverse. There is no way for us to know whether or not it exists because if it does exist we cannot perceive it.
