Beginning is an illusion created by our way of perception. Time is neither linear nor real so how can there be a "beginning"?

"Your honor, I could not have possibly shot that person, because yesterday might not have been before today, or at least, there is reasonable doubt that yesterday was before today, according to some physicists on crack. I treat those physicists with high regard personally though, and they have degrees that you don't have, so the court must reasonably conclude their opinions should be entertained."

What if it wasn't the beginning of our universe or wasn't the beginning of everything, including what is probably outside of our universe?

Eh, the thing about the statement there is you're redefining "universe", which is fine, but restating a definition isn't really saying anything new. The literal meaning of "universe" especially with respect to the Latin origins is... well... everything. It may make sense for physics to separate in to separate sets of everything if there's some reasonable justification.
