Time, as we understand it, started with the Big Bang.

I think we've got a pretty good idea of how things go back to almost the Big Bang, but where that sits within 'Time beyond what we understand', I don't think we understand at all.

The idea that faint ripples in cosmic background radiation could be because of previous universes just blows my mind 😃

The thing that always fucks my head is why was there the space or elements required for the big bang in the first place? 😵‍💫

The problem is that much of what is 'believed' about the universe is based on theory and conjecture. Even whether the universe is 'iinflating' may be wrong. We use a certain type of Supernova (Type 1a) as the 'standard candle' which is used to calculate distances in the universe because we believed that every Type1a was the same brightness because of the Chandra Sakhar limit. In the last couple of years we have now realised that Type 1a's aren't the same at all and therefore we can no longer say for certain that the universe is expanding or how fast.

The Big Bang also is simply a 'theory' rather than proven. We 'assume' that everything inflated from one point based on how everything seems to be moving apart but we can't say, beyond all doubt that it did or whether it all came from an infinite point.

As for time, I think we are fundamentally wrong about time and that it is intrinsically connected to motion. It has been proven that the faster you move in space the slower you move in time relative to everything else therefore I believe that, if you could slow down your movement in space, you could speed up your movement in time. Of course, in order to slow your movement in space you would have to figure out exactly how space is moving and that is impossible on human scales. We are on a planet, whizzing around a star that is whizzing around the galaxy which is moving in a group of galaxies to something which we call 'The Great Attractor' which seems to be pulling our galaxy towards it by we don't know how far away it is and we don't know if we are also somehow orbiting something even more massive at an impossible to conceive of distance.

Basically, because we can't see the edges of the universe, if it has them, and we have no idea of the true picture. There could be untold distances to our universe that we simply can't see because the light hasn't reached us yet and the whole damn thing could be a totally unexpected shape. The more you dig into the 'science' the more you realise that it's more conjecture and theory and even our idea of what the basic building blocks could be wrong. There is more to the Atom than we yet understand and we could even be entirely wrong about Gravity. Even the most successful theory in history, Einstein's E=MC2 might not actually be right and just happens to work pretty darn well for us.

As for the big bang theory you have to imagine that atoms, elements etc. didn't exist at the start of the universe. There was nothing but energy, no mass, no space-time so nothing but energy to squeeze into a little point. Perhaps that is a point - Time existed but not space and only, with the big bang, did the creation of the Higgs field create the conditions for Time to take on a spatial element. As for matter the best guess seems to be that the enormous burst of energy that flooded out when the switch was flipped decayed in the Higgs field into matter.

I have a theory that, in the beginning there was nothing but energy and, in the end, there will be nothing but the purest form of matter with no energy. I believe that black holes rather than being some sort of gateway to the beyond etc. are just simply balls of pure, energy free, matter that are capable of even pulling light (pure energy) itself in and turning it directly into this pure matter. Eventually there will be one enormous sphere containing every single little bit of matter totally at rest and the universe will have no energy. From the Pure State of Energy and via entropy it will decay into the pure state of Matter. THE END

Not entirely forgotten then - although you bastards could have left me for dead! I have been doing the full Summer workout with norovirus a fortnight ago and this is Day 5 of Crumbychron. It's been brutal but I can thoroughly recommend it as a way of banishing the old Love Handles. I thought the stress incontinence from coughing was unnecessarily vindictive.

Anyway Sark has a Seigneur not a Lord; anything else would be illegitimate. And, yes, I was truly touched by your expressions of total indifference to my prolonged absence. DD will now doubtless invite me to make it a more permanent arrangement.

I doubt you'll believe this.
But less than 24hrs ago myself & @chas talked about checking in on yourself , @BAD LUCK DUCK, @MICK60 & @Bad Billy.

I didn't message you cos I fully expected to get called a tart etc for being concerned about you.

As Judge Pickles once said...He "was asking for it"...
What bloke dresses up as a naughty secretary complete with pearls & high heels? Then goes out in public for a drive around?

Second thoughts, I don't want any of you deviants to answer those questions 😳

I checked in on @BAD LUCK DUCK this evening. He's having a bit of a tough time of it, but will be back when he can.

Here I am...🦆
Just in case anyone was thinking I'd been sent to guantanamo Bay for being a naughty duck..
I'm having a lot of things go wrong lately and being surrounded by dip shit members of the public at work and even worse management and work colleagues as not helped..
My concentration at the moment is almost non existent and my anger management issues have gotten worse due to frustration with a world full of cock wombles and issues on the homefront or P.O.R ( place of residence ) as its not home..
I feel totally fucked physically and probably not doing so well upstairs in the old noggin..Developed a real bad case of shattered nerves I guess you call it and the only way I know how to deal with things is to eliminate the threat...
Obviously I can't just kill everyone and other stuff I don't understand and can't deal with so eventually this shell of a body just decided to switch off...
Body shakes uncontrollably at times and I can't breathe...
Basically my mind and body have gone a bit wonky..
Today ain't such a bad day so I'm letting you guys know I ain't forgotten about you all ..
I may not be on to often at the moment but I ain't finished by a long shot yet...It's a temporary set back is all...😉👍👍👍🦆

Glad to hear you are still kicking @BAD LUCK DUCK even if you ain't around too much. The world is pretty shit and full of assholes there is no doubt about that but keep on 'kicking against the pricks' as the Bible says and keep breathing one breath after another. I take the view that, if my continued existence pisses off just one asshole then I am gonna continue to exist.
