No. I said that if time doesn't exist before the Big Bang, there can't be a prior cause. "Prior" means "at an earlier time", and "cause" means a specific event at a well-defined place and time. To have a prior cause, there has to be a time at which it occurred.
That's not to say that it's impossible to construct models in which the Big Bang happens in a larger context (i.e., in which the Big Bang can be said to have a cause). Chaotic inflation, for example, has a gigantic number of Big Bangs, each giving rise to many more. Each of those cosmoses can be said to have a cause. My point was that there is no mathematical or philosophical requirement that such an outside context exist, although it may.
So, "eternal" is not a scientific theory yet, but a religious or philosphical thought as we know?
What I'm trying my best to comprehend is if "time" is a physical property could it be removed or hidden in existance. How do you even comprehend OUTSIDE OF TIME?
We have discoveredd that time changes or is different with atomic clock experiments... Please understand, I'm not trying to be philosophical about this, but I want to know how it relates to scientific theory...and maybe it doesn't?
Physicist, could it somehow all relate through "digital code?" I mean software is massless, timeless, why does it take up space if it's massless?
I'm sorry, forgive me for my indulgence of questions, but thanks for you insights.
