T equals zero. By singularity, we mean physical quantities become infinitely big. Somehow we don't know what happens at t equals zero. So if you wrap your brain into knots, trying to understand not just the very, very early universe, but literally t equals zero, you're going to come across paradoxes. These things are just not defined at the big bang.
