No, it hasn't been explained at all. You did a few early posts about the quantifiable measurement of time which did not exist before the big bang:

If you have a scientific mind you will be amazed.

This doesn't answer the question of how something came out of nothing. Then you say:

Actions across lengths less than this boundary have no meaning because distance/relativity stop and quantum mechanics take over at Planck's length. The smallest length (Planck's length) divided by the fastest speed (the speed of light), is the time it takes for the fastest thing to travel the shortest distance. Thus, times shorter than Planck's time do not make sense.

Guess what, time and energy (light) and space did not exist before the big bang, so this post does not address how everything came out of nothing. Do you even understand what nothing is?

Here's the same question by another poster:

Then you post this which does not answer the question of the big bang, but is more of a philosophical discussion on how the universe came into existence:

Bubble Universes...

That's pretty, but completely useless. Thanks for nothing, again. Then you post this:

6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. Thats impressive in my book.

Again, this has nothing to do with how the big bang started. Then there is this 2 hour video which is nothing but conjecture and more philosphical discussion than it is hard science:

Krauss tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing."

This is where Krauss likes to talk about magic, that is, the creation of something (or everything) from nothing. Of couse, this breaks every single scientific law and is complete speculation based more on faith than on facts, hard science and provable theories, it's a discussion on magic. You won't call it that but people like me who have common sense see it for what it is, a discussion on magic.
