The 'concept' of time has always fascinated me. What ever 'force' or 'being' created both us and the universe gave us atomic particles that can decay in milliseconds; our individual lives are measured in mere years; and the universe as far as we have determined at this point is roughly 14 or 15 billion years old.

How can that be? What is the purpose of creating a life form that exists mere years in a universe that will continue for perhaps billions of years or forever?

Very strange.

aaahhh... must have confused him with the guy who explained why background radiation is spread all over the universe and not localized where the big bang happened. Because everywhere was where it happened and then expanded outwar.

Something like that.

Even if information survived the theoretical singularity during the big bang which is questionable. It would be so distorted by a multitude of forces we cannot even model that it’s completely useless.

Time is just a reference (point) in (this) physical reality. A part of the creation. After you die you exist in a “no time” environment.

What is the life expectancy of a fresh baked cookie compared to the entire prep time? That includes all the processes. From growing the grain, raising the cane, down the line to actually mixing them in a bowl and baking. See what I mean?

[LibWhacker]

Yeah, it’d be interesting to see the math that says ripples from a previous aeon could somehow survive into this one.

No evidence of doing time before Big Bang -

Sing Sing hadn`t been sung yet.

Fascinating . . .

time before time . . .

It´s possible that God cares for many life forms throughout the universe; particularly those that have abstracted information from their environment thus to know Him.

[wideminded]

didn’t a guy win a Nobel prize for that “discovery” they are casting doubt on??

One reason that is unlikely is that IIRC Nobels are supposed to be given for discoveries that might have some practical application.

>>Very strange.

Even stranger when one considers that Time is a derivative function of state-change that progresses relative to E within the inertial frame(s) in which it is observed.

As E approaches infinity an eternity could pass within a single blink of an unmoved eye...

Thanks for the ping. This seems to have kind of a high duhh factor to me.

No, but I think Newsweek was around.

[SunkenCiv]

I’ve got a recent magazine around here (somewhere) with an article about the search for traces of the previous universe.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure. :’)

I haven’t gobbled any fire lately. Doesn’t settle very well in my stomach.
