Demitri_C Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Ive always wondered if times always existed or if there was a period where there was nothing before creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butvthere are alot of theories out there that say time always existed. Its such a fascinating subject because if there was nothing how does a big bang just happen?

We've evolved to look for simple causality everywhere - it's a very useful approach at the macro level. But as with quantum theory vs Newtonian mechanics, that stuff stops applying at the level of a singularity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is true but our minds are designed to ask such questions - i would like to know why its something ive always wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolving intelligence focused on the concept of cause and effect. For all practical purposes a very useful tool. But as we have seen, 'common sense' completely fails at the quantum level. The question "What caused the big bang, then?" is basically meaningless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
