did time begin with the universe?

Question

okay, i know it might seem odd to some people, but did time begin when the universe was formed, or is that a whole different concept all together

or has time just something that has always been around

Answer 1

One view is that time is a dimension of spacetime, and interchangable with spatial dimensions in many ways. But time differs from space because the time dimension points toward the big bang. Where did the big bang happen? Everywhere spatially speaking, but 15 B years ago, dislocated in time only. That expansion makes the time dimension unique, and also reduces it to invisibility - due to length contraction of special relativity. Though we have no trouble seeing the space dimensions of spacetime, we can't see the time dimension. Right? So, spacetime preceded the big bang, but time as we know was created with our universe and its expansion.

Answer 2

the large Bang theory, it really is a theory the says that quite some atoms and debris got here to collect and then exploded and each and every of the celebs and planets were formed. This theory in spite of the undeniable fact that doesn't state how the universe develop into formed, the universe had no starting up and may want to haven't any end. It states how the planets, stars, galaxies, and so on. might want to have likely been formed. also it signifies that the universe is for ever increasing, it really is getting more effective and larger. yet again this is in basic terms a theory not a regulation or idea meaning it would want to ok be authentic yet we do not recognize for a reality.

Answer 3

No time did not begin with the beginning of the universe.

Time as a mesurement of passing moments is an invention of man.
Every civilisation of man have a different calendar but they all start at the same concept - Day, that being the time between one precise moment of time and the next time that precise moment occurs again. (many civilisation relied on the stars positions to calculate exact time.)
But the modern concept of 365 days in a year 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in a hour, 60 seconds in a minute; was thought up by that Babylonians as 60 and 24 have plenty of factors which enable the splitting of time to smaller increments

Answer 4

I think it's difficult for we weak-minded human beings to wrap our thoughts around the concept of omnipresence. The idea that the universe had no "beginning" and will have no "end" is hard to compartmentalize in our minds. So, scientists developed this idea of a "big bang" that caused everything to magically come together in such awesome splendor. And religion created the concept that God created the universe.
Whether one accepts the idea of a "big bang" evolutionary process that created our universe, or "nature", or some kind of "intelligent designer" or "God", it should be easy to blend the two concepts into one. Perhaps "God" "created" the world through an evolutionary process wherein everything started out as microcosms, developed into water and tadpoles, who eventually began leaving the water and walked on land, who then over millions of eons evolved into four-legged creatures, who then became two-legged mammals, who eventually turned into the "Adam & Eve" that "God" "created". Why can't evolutionists and creationists agree that they both fundamentally believe in the very same process? -RKO-

Answer 5

Actually there are a group of people who think time does not exist as a dimension, and believe it's a manmade invention, and I'm one of those people. So I believe time was 'created' when a human made the first clock. I believe that time is something you can't measure, because a watch or a clock measures time at the speed we want it to not necessarily the speed it's moving at, if it's moving at all.

So in answer to your question, I think the universe started moving forward from the moment it was created, and if this forward movement to the state we're in today is the effects of time, so be it. Time was created when the universe was formed.

Answer 6

Our Universe came into being at the moment of the Big Bang. To the best of our current scientific knowledge, our Universe is comprised of four dimensions the forth of which is Time. Before the big bang there was no time and if you are having trouble getting your head round that concept, then join the club.

Answer 7

as somebody already pointed out, time is a man-made concept. "time" as we know it, as we understand, will continue to infinity from the point the universe was created. but what created the universe? is it logical that there was a beginning to everything? if there's a beginning then surely there's an end....? how did the universe just appear? maybe everything is infinite, forward and backwards; in which case, everything, the universe, was just conviniently here

so, what was there before the universe was created? nothing? the universe inifinitly (probably)?

"time", as we know it, began with the universe

Answer 8

Time began with a THEE universe.(read on)

We are only beginning to understand the concept of time, and this ignorance blinds our responses.

As we discover time, time travel, and alternate universes, we will discover that time begins with a THEE universe much as single point on the line cannot be fully represented because whatever point you make, it can be divided.

We forget that dimensions are mere concepts and cannot be represented properly. Yet, all things begins with the true beginning of the universe - -A THEE universe.

Moreover, the beginning of this universe cycle is not the beginning of THEE universe. THEE universe began once. Since it has expanded and collapsed many millions of times.

Therefore Time began at the first beginning point of the first universe--the initial BIG BANG if you will.

TheuUniverse has its BIG BANG, and immediately expands, yet the universe existed before.

Before, the universe expanded and immediately started black holes. These black holes continued to "eat" all matter. No matter can escape a black hole. Eventually the black holes start to consume other black holes, until one massive black whole exists, which is THEE one point of singularity.

When this one point of singluarity has no more matter to "eat" or condense, then the point of singularity explodes, and releases all matter--THE BIG BANG.

The process start anew.

It is too obvious that this is the mode of the universe, I am not sure why scientists have proven such.

Finally, Time began with a THEE universe.

Answer 9

No! Before the big bang there where mo mater any where. So no matter no time. Because mater has mass and in turn gravity and space is wrapped around gravity.Space and time is the same thing not two different things.

So what I am saying is that no matter, no gravity, no time.

Answer 10

What was there before the universe was formed? How long was it there?
