My theory: There's no such thing as before and after “it”. It is it.

  Block Universe. The more you think about it, the more probable it seems. Why should a universe pass time like a movie, if all moments could exist simultaneously? If there is no time, and it’s just a simulation formed in our brain, there doesn’t have to be a beginning nor end.

    However, a complete lack of time doesn't fit with our observations and we can measure relativistic effects where time gets distorted (e.g. fast moving particles that last much longer than you'd expect due to relativity)

      GR is compatible with a block universe. If anything, the relativity of simultaneity strongly suggests that we live in a block universe!

  What about "bit"? Doesn't that come before "it", Mr Wheeler? :)
