Question /sci/.
If the beginning of time is commonly accepted as the big bang, and before the big bang it was compacted into a singularity...
How did a singularity come to exist in a complete 'nothing' environment. That's what i've always wondered.

>> No.3196751

nobody knows. this can only be speculated.

Time does not exist, it was created by men the universe doesnt obey any time

You answered your own question OP.

"How did a singularity come to exist in a complete 'nothing' environment. That's what i've always wondered."

Causality has no meaning before the start of time.

Barring the multiverse, I think when we hit a bedrock theory of physics, we'll find that the conditions at the start of time can and must be those at the big bang due to the laws of physics.

Until then though, it's THE unanswerable question.

Still makes more sense than Goddidit though.

Definite no.

Reworded: What was before the big bang? Was there a first cause or is the universe endless in the past?
Answer: We don't know.

Don't look at is as a singularity, look at it as an axiom.

95% of your problem with philosophy is that you struggle to understand simple first order assumptions.

Also the universe is expanding, but if it does indeed eventually retract, then I guess that would make sense as to how everything might go back to a singularity. Which makes sense to me, but it still doesnt answer how it originally started--just how it continues. Oh well, was just wondering if anyone knew of anything else that might explain it, such as some new breakthrough.

All 52 dimensions of the last universe being pulled in due to the lack of enough force from the big bang before that for the universe created to reach the escape velocity of its own gravitational pull. This one's MUCH lighter though
