Simple question here, when did I ever say before?
Edit:
In the early universe, before the plank epoch when we had particles of plank length or less, you know, things with a schwarzschild radius? The entire universe made of things that are black holes, nothing but black holes? Those time-ending particles that disappeared in their own hawking radiation? The first early 10^−43 seconds, where time didn't actually exist? Those were the good old days.
- cryptoz 16y agoYou didn't. Sorry, my phrasing was poor. You said that time didn't exist at the earliest part of the Big Bang, and I was trying to clarify that time didn't exist "before" the Big Bang but did immediately after.
- hugh3 16y agoThe first early 10^−43 seconds, where time didn't actually exist? If time didn't exist, then how did the universe know when those 10^-43 seconds were up? Seriously, I think this discussion is proceeding at a level which probably shouldn't be attempted by non-cosmologists. We all probably have a bunch of misconceptions we've picked up from popularizations about the Big Bang, and would only embarrass ourselves if any cosmologists happen to show up.
