I don't mean le big bang theorem. I mean reality, not just this instance of the physical universe.shit didn't start just 13 billion years ago. wtf.
>>25350685Actual reality doesn’t need to adhere to our cosmological standards or expectations of reality. Laws of physics are ‘constant’ but there’s no inherent principle keeping them as such, which could be here today and gone tomorrow. We can’t comprehend true randomness or entropy due to our evolutionary incentive to pattern-seek and build our conception of reality for our sole benefit, which tries to find a causal relationship in all things and build models based on ‘sound’ assumptions. Reality can just ‘begin’ however countless billions of years ago. How do we know that? Because by all empirical accounts, we’re living in the reality. And we’re likely not advanced enough to comprehend how it came to be without resorting to magical thinking.
>>25350685Any measurement of "time" becomes subjective on the cosmic scale. Assuming you even believe in time, which I don't. I think it's a spook.
>>25350685>shit didn't start just 13 billion years agodo you have a calculation other than 6000 years designating history from prehistory or 13 billions years of hubble constant?
>>25350685>How old is reality?About tree fiddy.
Infinite. Reality did not begin, it always was.
>>25350685Anything outside of the universe is definitionally unobservable and immeasurable, so your question is impossible to answer.
>>25350739I don’t have any rebuttal, just wanted to say nice post
>>25350685How about instead of asking questions so far fetched from a cohesive answer, you start looking at the mess you have around you that you call life.
>>25351246They’re calling it the perfect post
>>25350685For there to be a real there must be an unrealThe unreal is a product of abstract thoughtTherefore reality began when the first sapient creature came to be.
>>25350685Seven Yugas, maybe more…
>>25350685My guess would be time has no fundamental purchase when it comes to the thing in itself. It's a true blue artifact. It may very well be that the process that terminates in the creation of our phenomenal universe lies in our future light cone.
>>25350685Like how the universe became a thing you could sense?
>>25350739Should i read Hume?
>>25350685Time is a dimension of the universe. There is no time outside the universe.
>>25350685Time is just a dimension. It’s like asking how wide is the universe. All of our reality is happening simultaneously to an extra dimensional perspective.
>>25350685>he asks how long is being...-->forever son... there never was nothing
>>25350739>Actual reality doesn’t need to adhere to our cosmological standards or expectations of reality.It does.
>>25354633No it doesn't, retard. Cosmology and physics are tautological in the sense humans would never be able to know better.
>>25350685>How old is reality?About 20 years.
>>25354662You are weak.
>>25352762>>25352859Convince me that time isn't really just entropy and our way of measuring the change that accompanies this by slicing it into durations. Indeed then, how thick is the present?I can't really get behind the idea that the universe moves forward in some kind of block-like fashion from past-present-future. The Zeno thing, it just implies it can be sliced into smaller and smaller durations ad infinitum. It seems to me that some sense of relativity can be maintained by thinking of it as the vastness of space and entropy happening within that arena. In other words, Time = Entropy, within the dimension of space. I just don't think the entire universe (space) as an entity actually moves through time as a dimension, if that makes sense
>>25352762>There is no time outside the universe.Explain your unfounded belief in the fundamentality of our universe, please.
>>25350685How old are you? That's the answer since the universe was created when you were born. You're God, deal with it.
>>25350739This is your brain on skepticism.
