>My outlook is that things just exist in some higher dimension but because we perceive things in 3D we wrongfully assume there needs to be a start/end. This is a thought I've often had as well. Like we exist on an X-Y coordinate plane, but there's a Z axis we just can't access. Particles popping into and out of existence? Just moving along the Z axis (our entire existence is on a single scalar value on that axis). GR and the "warping of spacetime"? Well, the bowling ball on a trampoline analogy obviously requires an extra dimension beyond the 2D trampoline surface to warp into. EPR and Bell's Theorem, viz no local hidden variables? Well, there's the non-locality. I'm not a physicist and this is all obviously a vast oversimplification, but it just seems that so many fundamental questions are confounding because they all seem to point to a missing degree of freedom.
