Imagine no time?

Question

If space and time are connected, then before the big bang, there was no time. Is it possible to imagine a state of no time, I sure can't and it seems that even by imagining nothingness, you still feel the time pass.

Answer 1

The experience would probably be just the Big Band and the rest are history -- with Big Bang creating the space-time connection and one imaginary reality.

Consider that we are 4 dimensional entities, we have no other senses beyond those of space-time. As time stands still, there is no movement in the other 3 dimensions. Nothing could be seen to move in those 4 dimensions in a progressive manner. All is dark and there is no sensation to speak of. Consciousness as we know it, is frozen with time.

Any change must be introduced into the system from a different dimension outside of the 4, or that it would have been initiated from within.

If we consider that Big Bang is an explosion in all the dimensions, then we do not know the cause of it -- which is problematic.

If we consider that Big Bang is the implosion-explosion of all the dimensions, then we would know there was a rapid reversal sequence of space-time right before Big Bang. However, to our uni-directional sequencing of time, it would feel like there was just Big Bang and two realities, one real and one imaginary to account for the implosion. Too bad such feeling was not possible as space-time was being created and there was no matter to record it.

Answer 2

Dude time only exists because we need it to exist...
Really there is no time.








There is only infinite space.





With in this infinite space.....







There is only movement.








Time is just the calculation of the amount of movement that can fit into an adequate amount of space....









Imagine an apple floating in space.
It does not pass in time.
Yet if you put an apple on earth, and watch the days go by time is calculated, for how long that apple can just sit there.
Animals have no perceptive of time, this is because there is no time per say.



Are clocks are run by the calculation of the earth's rotation.
Since the earth rotates at a certain speed on its axis we consider it a day.
Now since we have these measure ments that we our lives by, every thing else is programmed to fit into what a second is, what a minute is, what an hour is.

When you move your hand from point a to b slowly, time goes by.
If you move your hand from point a to b faster, less time goes by.
All that time is consider to be is movement that can fit into space.
Once again only a certain amount of movement can fit into a certain amount of space, making it feel like time is passing.
Everything that exists takes up space.
The past is just considered to be the movement that you have already done.
The future is movement that will be done.
When you drop anything from the middle of the air to the ground, it must pass through time, because it moves through space.....
Isaac Newton's theory revised....
Yeah I still have to do alot of mathamatical figure work on this theory but it will change the worlds aspect of what time really is. :0
Also the big bang theory is just a theory and it is completely moronic.
If space is infinite then with in space there cannot exist a point of singularity (big bang).
The big bang is old news.
Black holes form when a star gets to big, so why did'nt the Big Bang do this.

Answer 3

Probably the closest I've come to experiencing no time passing (can you experience a sense of nothing? ) is when I've been drawing. Some people experience this when meditating or doing something else that requires strict mental focus: you are in a moment and do not sense time. It's called flow. At the same time (pardon the pun), time is actually passing; the person in flow is simply not aware of it.

Answer 4

I wouldn't necessarily say that there wasn't time, the universe would have still been in existence and that qualifies as space. I think the universe is infinite and it has always existed (which is a freaky thing to actually think about). But I believe there has always been time, and the universe has always been in existence. The two both go together for me.

Answer 5

I think there are 2 kinds of time, The chronological time and the psychological time. Chronological time , ex. movement of earth around the sun, the physical growth and decay. Psychological time is our thought - the past , present and future. Imagination falls under thinking of the future, so our imagination is still of time. Our mind is time. When our thinking mind understood the limitation of time then the mind is silent. Timeless.

Answer 6

time is the human condition... their is no imagination (that we can imagine lol) without time. i imagine nothing as gray haze but that is something blank maybe? blank is just the absence of something but is not nothing ;/
....why the big bang? did you get proof of that occurring? but no matter what you should choose to believe (it only matters to you) what that was is the absence of time and is eternal... if you can wrap your head around all of that then you have all your answers to life... but then again if you could understand the absence of time then you would probably seem rather insane and would probably be imprisoned, ridiculed, and killed.... ill pass on that one...

Answer 7

Can you imagine yourself without your body? People are so but so addicted to the physical world. It is like thinking about nothing you think of what of black. You only think the absence of something but you haven't seen it so how would you know??? We are so bond to this body to our senses.

Answer 8

Time does not exist if a zero mass is at rest.
Rate = Time/ Distance

Answer 9

Some call it"the eternal moment"where there is only now.Some say that time stops.I've experienced it,it is real,keep trying,don't believe otherwise.there are many techniques.

Answer 10

freaky it is hard to imagine not aging not dying nothing
weird
