Done my head in for most of my life.lol

Loads of respected scientists have tried to. But they never asked scoobynet.

Soooo... When was the beginning? Was there a beginning? There must have been something prior to even the big-bang theory. Aaaargh

Joking aside, a Salvation Army major gave me a good analogy in respect to the goldfish in a bowl...its ignorant to wider world that’s outside of it.

BMWhere?

Why does there have to be a beginning?

First of all you need to define nothing. A section of space is not nothing. For instance create a vacuum and shine light through it then there are photons in that vacuum which is not nothing. What is nothing and how do you find nothing if there is nothing to find? There is no such thing as nothing as it cannot be seen or detected, no one has ever seen nothing. So the there must of been something for the big bang to exist. So your definition of something is not nothing but something. Then you have to ask yourself when did time start, before the big bang or during. Did time start at the start of the big band or before the big bang. How can the big bang exist if there is no time for it to exist in hmmmm. WTF

Hope that helps.

I didn't get a chrismas bonus,a party or even a merry fkin chrismas from my boss.....a big load of nothing right there.
AS for the beginning of time......31/01/20 so I've been told

BMWhere?

No, that's the beginning of the end of time! More specifically 31/01/20 @ 23:00 UK time! Time will then rapidly run backwards until the 1920's and will now be known as Rees-Mogg Time, RMT for short!

"There must have been something prior to even the big-bang"
Yes, time. Time is also relative, as Einstein's theory goes, as you approach the speed of light, time slows down. For us, we think the the universe is 14.5 billion years old, but for those atoms, particles, photons ejected out of the big bang at the speed of light, for them, the universe might only be a few seconds old........

I think the Guinness advert summed it up nicely.

We were specs on the planet that mutated. Eventually overtime we kept mutating and adapting to survive.

Must everything be made out of atoms ? ...... what about dreams ......what about shadows ?

What has that to do with the big bang. Lol

More importantly - why are round pizzas put in square boxes?

mrtheedge2u2

Easy, cheaper and easier to manufacture square boxes than round.

The bang was the spark that activated the blobs into life.

Tidgy

Time to really twist some mellons, if there was a big bang, there must have been something to go bang, so what was before the big bang?

Short version its something we will never know and never comprehend

I've seen the effects of lots of "big bangs" not one of them created anything that resembles anything orderly!!! Was the bing bang an implosion or explosion? Maybe I have only ever encountered explosions.

This is a problematic question for us because we experience time at 1 second per second, going forward, but it's actually just part of the fabric of spacetime as described by special relativity. We cannot conceive of there being no beginning to it because of how we experience, and how we measure it, but time is meaningless unless you provide a reference point. For example, you cannot measure time in space as you have no reference point, and as everything is moving at different speeds, they are also experiencing time at different rates (albeit tiny util you get to very large velocities or accelerations). A year is meaningful to us as it's the time it earth the earth to circle the sun once, but if you were on Jupiter, obviously a year is much longer. OK, you can say Jupiter takes x years to complete an orbit, but if you popped into existence in space somewhere in our solar system, with no prior knowledge of clocks or earth, how would you measure it or define it?

To ask "what was there before time" is a very human question, and possibly not relevant to how the Universe actually began, or works.

I'm sure some 'members' on here have experience of a "big bang" creating life

More like a big bang leading to a low compression engine.
