A big bang, is not four-dimensional: the beginning of time is!

Hi there,

So yes, I wonder if you see the simplicity of the distinction I am making here: "the beginning of time is four-dimensional".

If time were not four dimensional, there would be no room for space, in principle.

A big bang on the other hand, is a little of the beginning and a little of what it changed into: but not a transition in the nature of time, in principle, to begin with.

It may fill space, but a big bang does not change the nature of time, through that space: only beyond space in the four-dimension, can time begin (and begin to have an effect on what is "in" space - where you would find the big bang, if it was there).

I am spurious of the idea that the beginning needs an "object" on the basis of which it is "to begin" - the sleep of God, is about as early as anyone needs to go.

The beginning of time, was that time ended for the beginning.

If time has ended and nothing has been created, time exempts the creation of more time.

If time creates more time, time is eternal: but nothing can be eternal without God.

Hence God remained eternal, even before time could cease to be eternal.

Well as people wish to wax a little philosophical here, I shall also!

Time is simply a linear measurement of progression that began when God caused the material universe to appear. It is simply a side road in eternity which is timeless. Without space and matter you have no time! Eternity is timeless.

I would say the end of time, is good because there is more time yet (the argument that eternity is timeless, is still a question of interpretation - that takes time!)
