Concerning the early universe – if mass and energy are equivalent, then this would mean that these two entities would have always been equivalent, even before the existence of space time. Therefore, mass and energy must have pre-existed the universe. However, there must have been an event that kick-started the universe into action.
Please discuss.

There is no such thing as "before the existence of space time".

No. There is no such thing as "before the universe".
