Before the Big Bang

amethystaI was watching a "science" show last night where they were talking about antimatter (although there were a few facts thrown in, it seemed to mostly be repeating, "We don't know why there is more matter than antimatter."). One thing that I did learn is that they use minute amounts of antimatter in PET scans (similar to CAT scans).
Another thing they talked about is what occurred right before the big bang. What set it off? Is it a cyclical event? I thought of a really slick solution, though maybe someone with more knowledge in this area may show me the error of my ways. What in the universe could possibly smoosh all matter into a tiny space? How about a black hole?
Some people theorize (in a sci-fi way) that black holes lead to other dimensions. What if a black hole pushes matter into another dimension via a big bang? (Do black holes ever disappear?) It works out so nicely! Since they know that *all matter* was part of the big bang, this would mean that a black hole would be the start of that universe, like a tiny bubble blowing up. However, since there is more than one black hole in our universe, this would mean that matter is being distributed to multiple dimensions. This would make not only the universe subject to entropy, but all dimensions. Imagine all matter filtering through multiple dimensions until a universe is a single atom.
If any of you storytellers find this idea intriguing, feel free to steal it. This post brought to you by the armchair physicist society.
