What initiated the beginning of time? And why does it only travel in one direction?

Answer 1

The Big BANG!

Answer 2

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Bible)

In our country there are two main religions - Christianity and Evolution. It may not be thought as being a religion, but the theory of evoution is just a THEORY. Although not presented as such in the classroom, that is what it is. Often "evolution" and "science" are combined together, so a young person believes it is a factual truth. It is not. Let me give you an illustration concerning the reasoning being used.

"I just swam from San Francisco to Hawaii in two days. I saw whales, sharks, flying fish, and large boats along the way."

Of course, it is obvious that a person cannot swim that distance in two months, BUT I could say "science - science" because there are whales, sharks, flying fish, and large boats on the ocean. By inference of the fact of the existence of these undenyable objects, I could say because they exist, I must have swum the ocean in two days.

Those proporting the concept of evolution use science concepts about rocks and old bones, and say the whole thing must be correct, because of these diciplines. There are no missing links to mankind. What is being offered to young people is the religion (belief system) of evolution. Taking an old bone and then giving it a history made up of ones imagination is not "science". It is a belief system.

The reason what God has created only travels in a single direction, is that our world was created with a great deal of order to it. This order is breaking down (called "entropy"). As energy is used, there becomes less and less of the original order. The obvious evidence of this is in the eroding of mountains, the deltas of rivers, and most particular, the need to buy a new car from time to time.

Were you to begin reading the Bible for yourself, begin at Genesis, in the Old Testament, and then compare that writing with St. John in the New testament; your search for the beginning of time may be satisified.

Answer 3

GOD. It only travels in one direction because that's they way He designed us to perceive it as moving. Actually, everything has happened / happens at the same "time". We perceive it in a linear fashion because we are designed to. By using extreme speed (close to the speed of light) it's possible to travel into the future. For example, if you could go that fast in a rocket for say 10 years away from earth one way, then 10 years in return, due to the passage of "time" being relative, you would find say instead of 20 years passing that a 100 or maybe 100's of years would have elapsed on earth. You would have "time - traveled" into the future. Contrary to popular belief - time travel into the past isn't possible. It isn't permitted by the Creator. I don't know all the reasons for this ( I can guess a few) but I do know this is so.

Answer 4

As it turns out, there are a lot of people trying to figure that one out, and so far, no one has any good answer on that...

It has been suggested, in as-yet unpublished work by the late Dr. John Kenny, that the so-called arrow of time may represent the reality that the universe is a gigantic quantum cellular automaton; the math of that indicates that an expanding universe would sometimes have odd dimensioned square matrices for the transfer function from state to state, and sometimes even-dimensioned ones. Only one of the two--I can't recall which, off the top of my head--is invertable. If the transition matrix is non-invertable, that forces time (here measured as repeated applications of the transition matrix) to be non-reversable. Unfortunately, Dr. Kenny died before he could develop this thought beyond the most simplistic level, and I'm not sure how much of his notes on that survive...

Answer 5

Frankly speaking, science can never prove the origin of time as it not reproducible! Therfore the big bang theory is more of a philosophical reasoning rather than a scientific observation.

If you believe in the existence of a Creator God, He is the one begin time in the universe to govern the laws of physics in our universe.

It is traveling in one direction? Historians have two views of time-cyclical and progressive. If you think that time is progressing infinitely (travel in one direction) then there would be no end in time? However, some historians and physicists believe that time is cyclical where time will end someday and our universe will end. So you see, this qs has no definite answer.

Answer 6

Time is considered the fourth dimension isn't it? And the Big Bang initiated the beginning of time, theoritically. Not a clue why it only travels in one direction though.

Answer 7

No one knows if time had a beginning, or if time is on;y one way. All I can say is that time is related to a concept called entropy, which is the increased disorder in a closed system, or the loss of information in a closed system, or the decrease of useful energy in a closed system.

Assuming the universe is a closed system of course...

Answer 8

How do you know it travels in only one direction?

Imagine that for one hour each day it actually travels backward. You unlearn everything that happened in the past hour. You undo all that you have done. You un-think what you have thunk.

Then it switches forward again and you do it all over. How would you know?

Answer 9

A good explanation of these things is available in Stephen Hawking's "A Briefer History of Time" which was recently published in 2005 and is an update of his "A Brief History of Time" from 1988.

Answer 10

The Prime Mover, at creation of universe. By design, to slow and expand. Time is measure of distance travelled. Without motion, there is no time. The Creator is outside time, outside the universe where we live.

Answer 11

Time has neither beginning nor end.

Time does not travel. Things travel thru time, and they do so in both directions.

Positrons are electrons traveling backward in time.
