How is it possible to say that time didn't exist before the creation of the universe(Big Bang)?

Question

personally i think that its a wrong statement, time will always be there, it will never disappear n it has always existed!

how can scientifics prove that time did'nt exist before BigBang?

this question prevents me from sleeping normally!

Answer 1

get an appointment with a psychiatrist asap.

Answer 2

ok... ummmm... one million. the enormous Bang refers back to the thought The Universe has accelerated over the years. the enormous Bang did not contain any explosion in any respect. 2. The Universe, in accordance to the retropredictions (is that a word?) of particularly some physicists, became so warm and compressed interior the initiating that element ought to not have probable flowed. for this reason, making use of the word 'earlier the enormous bang' is likewise defective. 3. the final way forward for the universe and the element at which it ends relies upon on the instant length of the universe and the quantity of count number in it (?M) and the present power density (??). If protons decay and ?M is decrease than a undeniable element, than the universe will cool and there will be no count number or power to commence up yet another universe. Humour: The universe could crumple into yet another singularity. Time could end flowing and opposite, effectively beginning yet another universe. Oh, and metabefore the upward thrust of the universe, Chuck Norris around living house kicked a metalarge hadron collider, beginning time with the quick advance of hydrogen above the Planck Temperature far flung from the singularity. ????????????MEGA?

Answer 3

Time may exist before Big Bang but what was there at that time (before the universe came into existence) is not knowable at this present stage of scientific development. All the equations and computer simulations collapese at t = 0 when the Big Bang took place and what was existing when t was negative, cannot be known right now.

One possibility is that the universe was in a Big Cruch mode earlier (collapsing) from a previously expanding Universe, or in other words, an Oscillating universe. Or just as soap bubbles are blown by a child and each bubble comes into existence for a few seconds and then pops out of existence, a Cosmic Child (God) may be blowing the bubbles of this universe into existence. We are now moving from science to speculative philosophy or spirituality.

Answer 4

well every single show ive seen on the history channel and discovery channel say that we cant actually backtrack the events of the universe to the actual big bang... we can only get within a couple milli seconds. but think of it this way, what if the big bang theory was just an explotion that happened after all the mass in the universe got sucked into a huge quazer got compressed and exploded. So if everything is revolving around that particular point in the universe maybe it will all collapse again due to gravity and start over with another big bang. This might not be accurate at all but, we have figured out that as we backtrack closer and closer to the big bang our rules of physics stop working

Answer 5

I can give you two answers. The first answer is my own personal theory. The second answer is from something I learned from a science documentary on TV soon after I had created my own theory.

The First Answer:
1) Think of space as being divided into two sections. The first section is white space. White space is a space that has an unlimited and an infinite amount of material that goes on forever. (So with in white space, with there being an unlimited and an infinite amount of material that goes on forever that also means that the concept of time is irrelevant.) The second section is black space. Black space is a space that is infinitely empty forever and ever. Now two things could have happened. The first thing that could have happened is that a particle from white space had been introduce into black space and at that point the that one particle had exploded into the BIG BANG which had occurred around 13 to 15 billion years ago. The second thing that could have happened is that white space could have introduced a leakage into black space thus creating not only the BIG BANG (or a BIG LEAK) but also creating all of the particles in our universe that had followed immediately after the BIG BANG (or a BIG LEAK). At the point that any amount of white space enters into black space is the same point that we begin to measure the age of our universe.
(Keep in mind that since white space and black space are both infinite, it also means that there may be an infinite number of universes spread out all over the place at any given time.)

The Second Answer:
2) The second answer is that our universe is one of many universes that have come and gone and that have came and went. For example think of a black hole. A black hole is an object with a gravitational field so powerful that a huge region of space becomes completely engulfed into the black hole. No matter or radiation (including light) that has entered its region can ever escape it. Now the inverse and the opposite end of a black hole is where everything is funneled out. Now when this happens it can be called a white hole. A lot of scientist now believe that the BIG BANG of our universe had been created by the process of a white hole 13 to 15 billion years ago. The funneling between a black hole and a white hole is like an umbilical cord. One theory is that there are a lot of universes, and each universe is trapped inside something like a bubble, and the bubbles are connected through an umbilical cord or through a worm hole. At the point that any amount of material from a black hole exit itself out as a white hole is the same point that we begin to measure the age of our universe.

Answer 6

In the absolute overall of everything that exists---
"time" is a concept ---
and, as it is with ALL concepts -- they have "float" and "variation" !! The simple word "infinity" -- earmarks a recognition BY science that "time" (or at least our concept OF it) -- runs eternally from........to......in both directions !! But, also, as with all concepts -- each of our own, individual preceptions OF it -- are guided and centered from our own individual store of experience and knowledge !!

Take the simple explaination of the child who sees a two hour road trip as being "an eternity"
To the youngster of say Five years of age -- their total life experience IS five years --- so a two hour trip figures to something like 2% of their total 43,800 hours on earth !!

To someone of say 50 years -- this same 2 hour trip would only represent 2% of their total 438,000 hours on earth --- So, to the Five year old -- this same trip takes TEN TIMES the time that it takes for a 50 year old person (in their "concepts" that is) ( The same "concept" of this trip for the 50 year old would have them on the road for 20 hours !!)

The reason that you hear certain scientific entities placing an "earmark" for the start of time ON the "big bang" is so that they might have a somewhat clearer MARK from which to set all other info TO --- From there ---- That is the ONLY reason !!

So, get some sleep -- and know that the entity that WE CALL TIME --- has been--- and will always be -- whether We're around to "mark" it or not !! (But, please, don't start thinking about THAT or --- you will definately die from sleep deprivation !!)

Answer 7

Time is not separate from space. It's called "space time" ever since some of Einstein's insights into the nature of light, time, gravity, and space.

In very strong gravity, like a black hole, time is bascially frozen. Before the big bang, when all the matter was compressed, it's likely that time either did not exist, or existed in a radically different form than what we know today.

The 4 fundamental forces (strong nuclear force, gravity, etc..) were not separate forces before the big bang. So we really don't know what time was like, we can only speculate.

Answer 8

One classical law that still holds true is Newton's third law. Generalized it indicates every action has a reaction. Which conversely leads us to believe that every effect has its cause.

So the big bang was an event, meaning there must have been a cause. Which means there must have been something, somewhere before the big bang. There are many theories for this and don't worry, most physicists are doubtful about the big bang being the cause for time.

So you can sleep tonight...:)

Answer 9

Time is a division line. That division line starts at OO OO at mightnight for each day.

On the big scheme of things 00 00 comes at the point where the OLD UNIVERSE stopped dying and the NEW UNIVERSE was about to be born.

That point just before the fusion expansion began.

That point between INHALE and EXHALE.

Answer 10

May be looking at it from another angle will help a lay (Which could be wrong) understanding.

There has to be existing something with a frequency for time to exist. Such as electro magnetic radiation. The reciprocal of frequency is time. For time to exist there has to be radiation, which was absent prior to big bang.

So, time also did not exist.

(At least a lot of exists exist in this post)

Answer 11

Well if u consider it so that before the big bang, there was no energy that triggered the event to occur, thus everything was at a perfect equilibrium, there were no changes, there were no variables and everything was constant, so if u consider time a variable then it wasn't there before the big bang, but if u consider it constant, then it was.. simple as that.. :)
