Time is only your perception it is a gift from God to help you learn how shitty you can be , why are you so shitty

if time extends into infinity, when did it begin?

this is important answer honestly

It depends whether by time you mean every single one of the universe's sequential chain of events that have ever happened, or time as a dimension of reality.

If it's the former, our best evidence says time began at the big bang, because the big bang was the deterministic beginning of the universe's causal chain. Prior to the big bang, time as a dimension is meaningless, because there is no change, no cause and effect, no events... if the dimension even existed at all. Everything that has happened or will ever happen was determined at that instant. If you had godlike intelligence and godlike sensation, and were able to perceive every distinct particle and quanta of energy, its trajectory, and the effect it would have on other matter and energy, on and on forever, you would essentially perceive time as a line or flat circle, like you are looking at it from above or from the outside (this was explored somewhat in Interstellar). You would have perfect understanding of all future events.

If it's the latter, I don't think we know or have any idea with any evidence behind it.

ridiculous metaphysical conclusions like this are a big part of why the dinguses say space is fake =/

I could understand if I were talking about wormholes or some shit but it's literally based on a single, as yet unrefuted and likely unrefutable observation that everything in the galaxy is moving away from a single point.

Also the concept of determinism which is a natural law that is about as debatable as gravity. (Note that gravity is debatable but only if you're Einstein & pals).

Nothing ridiculous about it, and grand luxury gay white science space doesn't have to dumb itself down for dinguses.

i'm still waiting on all the people who say/said it was fake to make videos of them walking around licking doornobs and holding kissing booths

put your tongue where everyone's hand goes or stfu

[HalflingSpergand]

Wow thats really gay thing to wait for

[FatherSioux]

White science, god you’re the worst.

Anyone who claims anything in science is irrefutable is a clown. The entire basis of science is that we’re constantly learning.

We’re just supposed to accept that the Big Bang is the beginning and nothing occurred prior due to our current technological limits? You’re not nearly as intelligent as you think.

Eventually, the inertia of time-space expansion will be overcome by constant gravitational pull of the mega-blackhole at the center of Creation.

Technically, if we were already in the great contraction, the fact that we are closer to the center than the outermost region of the universe, would make it indiscernable to determine if the universe were still expanding, since we would be "consolidating" our time-space at a rate greater than the outter rim of the universe, making it appear to still be expanding from a relative perspective.

The weird thing you appear not to know is that the rate of expansion is actually accelerating, not decelerating. As though there is a great invisible mass outside of us in every direction.

It's not a ball of matter being sucked down and supernova-ing over and over, but something else. No great contraction incoming. Although all we can see would lead us to expect one we observe the opposite.

I hate to tell you guys, but I'm pretty sure when my consciousness ends whatever field is stabilizing this wacky place is likely to vanish. Idk about y'all but I am actually, literally viewing and experiencing it from a first-person point of subjective, conscious singularity -- not merely an atom machine reacting deterministically.

It is most likely I am the center of this universe but on the up side, your proximity to me gives you a drastically higher chance of being of some greater universal significance than the average schmo! You're more meaningful than Brad Pitt
