The big bang had no cause.

Causality is a feature of the reality, not the other way around.

Examine causality, what does it entail?

1 cause
1 effect

Cause and effect must be separate
Cause must have a efficacy
Effect must have an efficacy

But how does 1 thing lead to another? What is causality? Weasel words like "emergent property" hide the magic of causality. What is the spooky action in between the cause and effect? The hand of God?

shut up christ muzzie faggot


postulating if the universe was caused by your dumb fucking sky daddy is like asking if niggers can learn
>>
>>16978905
Pretty much. One thing can only "cause" another in the context of spacetime. And we can also observe that spacetime is a relative property of how one thing interacts with another, as the speed of light in a vacuum remains constant for all observers, even though they disagree with each other's speed, proving that there's no preferred frame of reference in the universe. Therefore, spacetime cannot be fundamental.

Yeah that is how things that don't actually exist work.

>What is the spooky action in between the cause and effect?
Action isn't as spooky as magical space ghosts, though, but when two things act on each other to cause an effect, it is called an interaction.

>One thing can only "cause" another in the context of spacetime.
No, causation is a function of pure mathematics and axiomatic logic too: adding two to two causes four to be yielded, defining all circles as round causes them to have no corners.

>adding two to two causes four to be yielded
Uh no. The equals sign goes in both directions
>>
>>16979704
So you are saying that an equal sign causes both sides to be interchangeable without being a function of spacetime, but the rules of spacetime being functions of the implications of logical equality?
>>
>>16978905
The "big bang" is not a real theory. It's a name for whatever happened before the stuff we have theories about. Extrapolating back suggests it was some kind of explosive event but that's not known conclusively. Saying it "doesn't have a cause" is silly because it's purely hypothetical to begin with.
>>
>>16978924
>Cause and effect must be separate
Prove it.
>>
>>16978905
Maybe.
>>
What if the Big Bang transpires throughout all possible angles of time? The Big Bang we know is just one hair or strand of time. One trajectory.
