That makes no sense. Maybe the big god is made of lots of smaller gods who are themselves made of smaller gods and so on. So God is emergent. That sounds like a scientific explanation.

"Nothing exists" is a manner of speaking, RetardGPT. It doesn't mean nothing is a thing that exists. It means everything is excluded from existing.

Which would mean nothingness would be in a state of existing. Nothingness would become a thing.

What thing are you referring to, mentally ill retard? The thing you're explicitly claiming doesn't exist as a thing? I agree. The contradiction is in your braindamaged thought process. "For every X, X doesn't exist" still holds true if 'nothing' doesn't exist.

And infinite series of events had to happen before this one, so this moment in time would never be reached. In Penrose's CCC, there's a point where time flips or something and you go from "infinite future" to "finite past." Ok, so there's this cycle where you go from big bang to dark, cold, empty universe with no matter, and from that state another big bang happens. Something like that. But the cycle itself end/starts from a state where there is flat space filled with massless particles and quantum fields. Where did that come from in the first place?
>>
>>17071804

Why not? This doesn't directly follow.

>>17071852
If time is linear, which it needn't be, then picking any arbitrary point on the timeline as the present means there is an impossible amount of time that must pass before reaching the present.
>>
>>17071874
>picking any arbitrary point on the timeline as the present means there is an impossible amount of time that must pass before reaching the present.
This is only a problem if the present causally depends on everything that happened before, which isn't the case if you have these periodic hard resets. A logical timeline that extends infinitely in both directions is perfectly conceivable.

In this scenario time is cyclical. Any point in time would be like a point on a circle. Ok, but where did the circle come from?
>>
>>17071892
>In this scenario time is cyclical.
Doesn't even have to be cyclical proper. If quantum randomness is an actual feature of reality, each iteration can play out differently.

>where did the circle come from?
I don't know. Why does it need to come from anywhere? It's not even clear at this point that "where did X come from" is always a valid question in physics, let alone metaphysics.

>>
>>17071894
The "timeless" part of the CCC still has a flat space and quantum fields. Did those "always exist"? Yeah, "time has no meaning" in that state, but you should still be able to say that there was a past that looks like an expanding universe with an arrow of time happened. Otherwise how did that "timeless" state come about? I think these are valid questions.
>>
>>17071913
I'm not arguing in favor of CCC in particular, but you're making assertions like:
>"Always existed" and "infinite past" make no sense.
... which I don't see how you can justify. The basic idea that the universe has always been around makes sense. It's just not particularly convincing.
>>
>>17071913
I think speculating about this stuff is as reasonable as the greek philosophers speculating on the nature of matter, nice thinking exercise but it won't bring as much closer to truth, and if we landed at it by accident, we wouldn't know how to verify it. t=0 should be thought as nothing more than "the point at which and prior to which we have no idea what happened or even if 'prior' or 'happened' has any meaning". That's all there is to it, we have no tools to touch it.
>>
>>17071920
>>17071920

if "always" encompasses all time and time started with the big bang then that statement is true.

Who knows? Maybe you can. Maybe time is metaphysical. Regardless, it doesn't challenge what I wrote in any way. Read it again.

you seem confused. there is no "time". we call time the measure of change. you need something for "time". you need something for the measure of change. change of what? if there's nothing? do you understand this?

this whole "who knows, maybe there is" shtick isn't the get out of jail free card you think it is, you can't just say it in any argument and expect it to hold. a lot of times it just doesn't make sense. like now

Sure I can. I don't know if time is metaphysical but you haven't ruled it out. Protip: trying to force a definition based on the consensus of some imaginary horde doesn't change the situation.

>As discussed in Physical Quantities and Units, the most fundamental physical quantities are defined by how they are measured. This is the case with time. Every measurement of time involves measuring a change in some physical quantity. It may be a number on a digital clock, a heartbeat, or the position of the Sun in the sky. In physics, the definition of time is simple—time is change, or the interval over which change occurs. It is impossible to know that time has passed unless something changes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time
>In physics, time is a fundamental concept to define other quantities, such as velocity. To avoid a circular definition,[15] time in physics is operationally defined as "what a clock reads", specifically a count of repeating events such as the SI second.

America has a small minority offshoot of southern culture that has biblical literalism. It started sometime in the 1920s. Jews seek them out and plant a microphone in front of them and mock them but it’s all a propaganda effort.

Christianity has been supporting a metaphorical and even evolutionary idea since Plato and Augustine.

>>17072517
This is incorrect. you are thinking time is necessary for change as you are thinking about things in terms of our 3 dimensional space and matter and thus to travel from one state to another requires time, but for the fabric of reality perhaps that isn't necessary. Perhaps when you minimize time to 0, quantum (or some lower bound we don't understand) events happen spontaneously instead of over "time". Perhaps in a higher dimension these quantum and field effects simultaneously occur to form a singularity of sorts ejecting and creating matter and energy into our 3 dimensional universe which creates time as a function of it's own fabric along with the universe itself.

I don't see the issue. I like the idea of a universe spontaneously developing out of nothing. Makes me feel at peace. Makes me feel hopeful that eons from now, when matter returns to the oblivion from whence it came, there will again be nothing, and a universe may start anew.

All the time dimension thing is mathematical tomfoolery, there's no proof of such "dimension", we simply call time the measure of change in physics.
Has its own units:
https://www.nist.gov/pml/owm/si-units-time

Anything apart from calling time the measure of change is pure speculation. Might as well call it God's gift or whatever, means about as much as anything else, other than it being a measure of change, and we're using it as such.
If you can prove time is "something" else, do show yourr work. Else throw you ideas in the same bin as the other coocoo ones.
At least mathlets have something to show for.

>>
>>17074669
That' the best we have in physics anon, we call time the measure of change and have a unit for it. That's it. Anything else is pure brainrot. And philosophy (which coincidentally is brainrot most of the times)
Not sure what you are asking for... There is nothing else as far as science is concerned, there's theories about it but no proofs for anything. As it stands...we really do call time the measure of change, and have units for it, and that's about it anon.
But you seem to have plenty of ideas about it, yet you have no work to support them.

Yes, perhaps is the word, unless you happen to have a definitive answer for us, we are waiting.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of time and reference frames.

>>17074671
Again, maybe that is just in our universe or the dimensions that we are used to and can understand. That doesn't mean that applies to all possible other dimensions.
