Default Re: OT - Time Theory

Right after the Big Bang, the universe was expanding very fast, close to the speed of light, but not quite. Therefore, there was still time; it was not moving infinitely fast. I'm not sure if there could such a thing as time being already finished at a point.

I thought that since there are no absolute reference frames in space, there is no specific point at which the big bang originated.

well, i'm not trying to start a religious debate, but i figured out how god could know everything and we still have free will...see, god knows everything because he sees us do it...all through time, beginning to end. when i'm really awake i can manage to twist my mind around it. i'm not really awake now. but think about this: it's the way we look at time.

yep, that's the best explanation i can give you. now, just turn your whole mind sideways...

When talking about very dense matter, like just after bing Bang, we must use general, NOT special theory of relativity. It states that times moves slower in strong gravitic fields, and there is nothing stronger than space-time wrap around the whole Universe compressed to null point

Thermo, Einstein' theories are not failing out of favor. They are true inside the well defined limits. That is when we can ignore quantum effects.
