Which began first: Fire or Time?

Question

Did Fire begin before Time or did Time begin before Fire? Or did they begin at the same time? Any ideas?

Please give a reason.

Answer 1

time

Time began most likely immediately upon the start of the big bang.
Fire couldn't possibly have started for millions of years. Fire is oxidation and there was no oxygen until it was made inside stars during their fusion process. Then the oxygen would have to be released from the star in a supernova. Then the oxygen would have to be gathered in enough quantity with other elements/compounds for something to oxidize.

Answer 2

John, you're new here, so I'll cut some slack.

Who invented Fire?

Who "invented" Time? ( I sort of like to ask the question "When was Time invented?" )

Are you talking about Time Magazine, ooooohhhhhhhhh.

Time was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States I'm sure fire was invented before then.

Answer 3

A sentence like "Did fire and time begin at the same time" needs to be re-evaluated. That is essentially what you're asking, and it's not a scientific question. It's more of a philosophical question. In fact, it's bordering on an ungrammatical question.

Answer 4

This is like asking "what came first, the chicken or the Bishopric of Liège?" Completely unrelated, but the answer being "chicken".


Here, the answer is time, which started ticking long before the elements involved in either nuclear fusion or combustion even existed.

Answer 5

Time came into existence first. Fire appeared later.
It depends what kind of fire.
Elementary particles appeared after Big Bang.

Answer 6

fire like set a fire under your a-- and get here on time

Answer 7

Its a chicken or the egg question. I would say they came together at the same time. The big bang started everything at the same time.

Answer 8

Time.
No time no space. No space no fire.

Answer 9

time

Answer 10

time
