this is not a scientific question

>>9651689
>What was before time

>>9651750
why
>>9651708
there had to be something?

>>9651768
Define the word something.

>>9651689
Hard to be sure because all the light we see is from or after the big bang.

It's not a question we can answer yet.

If a universe big bangs in the forest and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?

>>>/his/

There was a force called Time, and a force called Space. Time was a singular temporal dimension that constantly moves forward, and space was a large area with physical traits that could not change due to time not effecting it. They both smashed together and the resulting force became spacetime in one brilliant flash of light and energy. Then there was our universe.

'nothing'
t. 15 y/o athiest intellectuals

wtf philosophers win again!?!

What's north of the North Pole?

>>9653669
Not an argument

>>9651689
I feel scared and uneasy when I think that

>>9651689
Nothing, and there was no Big Bang either. Everything started to exist the moment you were born, and it ceases to exist when you die.

>>9651689
The Medium-Sized Bang.

It didn't catch on.

>>9652482
Yes.
"Bang."

>>9652473
something that caused the big bang

>>9651689
The slightly smaller /r9k/ virgin boom.

>>9652888
go away

>>9653917
my nigga

>>9651689
Something capable of creating the big bang

Maybe it was just us, fused together, kinda like Zords from Power Rangers

>>9651689
Allah

>>9651689
Quantum gravity might say something about that once we have it figured out.

>>9651689
We don't know.

>>9652888
>Time was a singular temporal dimension
I see, so time was a dimension of time

>>9653917
So if you kill yourself, you can end all the madness?

>>9651689
The universe expands until all the matter decays and is turned to light—so there is nothing in the universe that has any time or distance scale associated with it. This permits it to become identical with the Big Bang, so starting the next cycle.

>>9654858
Nope, infinite eternal recurrence. You'll die again in the next existence. The best thing to do is make sure you're happy and following your dreams in every possible "universe."

That's kind of what buddhists and Nietzsche thinks.

>>9653669
Easy just go a bit above it

>>9651689
the gang bang

This

>>9654870
This gives me anxiety

>>9651689

moot

>>9651689
The death of the previous universe. This is a cycle that has been going on for eternity. Every new universe has its own little set of quirks and scientific laws. After ours ends, a new one will start, different from ours in every way. It's all a simulation made by higher beings.

>>9654870
Determinism rules that out. I'll always be a NEET fuck due to forces beyond my control.

>>9651689
No one knows.
Yes, it's that simple.

>>9651689
Everything, but everything couldn't interact with everything else because there was no Higgs field to allow for mass.

>>9657277
I look forward to replying to you in the next cycle, and the past that was, anon.

>>9657656
Can't wait good buddy. Here's to all of our pasts and all of our futures.

>>9654856
A singular dimension of time. Singular is a very important word. Once it was able to effect space, it multiplied and the time became a web of events all linked to each other by entropy.

>>9658143
That's absolute jibberish

>>9651689

a 3D black hole that was birthed by a 4D star.

Perhaps we are a computer program. So the Code exists and was started. Boom the program is there....

Since time itself is a physical dimension contained in this universe the question makes no sense

>>9658184
>Perhaps we are a computer program. So the Code exists and was started. Boom the program is there....


But with this Theorie it would make sense

>>9651689
>ask one of the hardest questions of all time that people have been wondering for thousands upon thousands of years since they were ever able to comprehend time

>"4chan will know"

Time is simply a human invention to describe causal relationships and motion. It has no real effect on anything

What I'm going to write I saw in a National Geographic documentary so real astrofags correct me. They said that before the big bang there was only matter, but some unknown events caused it to compress so much it couldn't sustain itself and which resulted in the release of huge amounts of energy (the big bang). God this sounds so stupid, but I'm citing this only from memory.

>>9651689
there is no evidence that the big bang fantasy is true

An even bigger bang.

>>9651689
>Implying causality was a thing pre big bang

>>9657682
can someone explain the equation to me?

>>9651689
The big foreplay

Can someone explain to me how we know how large the observable universe is. I watched this video along with a few like it, and im hard pressed to believe we actually can tell whats outside our local galaxy cluster if its all so far away. Yes, im a brainlet, pls no bully.

>Not an argument

who cares? there had to be something prior to the big bang, which means that time is infinite, which means that the big bang was nothing but just another infinitesimal event in the grand scheme of things

The first equation is the Standard Model Lagrangian. The second, the short one, is relativity.

>>9651689
Before Big Bang time is a meaningless concept. What you can ask is what is outside our universe light cone, and the answer is there's no way to know according to our current understanding of physics.

ayye fuck off eh
I didn't graduate with a bachelor degree in physics to be called dumb popsci pseud without any rebutal.
