God Awful Things

So this study discusses evidence of time before the big bang… Yeah, thats right, your mind just blew.

This of course covers linear time and there are brief comments about how you can’t unbreak (funny, that’s not even a real world)

The apparent direction of time – and the fact that it’s hard to put a broken egg back together – is the consequence.

and how no one gets tomorrow confused with yesterday. This is of course BS and anyone who has tripped balls knows it, but that’s not what this is all about.

The laws that govern physics on a microscopic scale are completely reversible, and yet, as Professor Carroll commented, “no one gets confused about which is yesterday and which is tomorrow”.

Pretty amazing though, hopefully BadAstronomy.comwill cover this and get into more detail for brains like mine..

In the mean time, I will quote Derek “Stormy” Waters (it’s at about 2:27 minutes into the video) of Sealab 2021 fame.

“…In a time before time, we like to call it ‘pre-time’ or ‘un-time’, meaning ‘not-time’. Anyway, imagine a pie my future self makes then sends back in time to my pre-past self but I can’t eat it because the ingredients don’t exist yet so I have to make my own ingredients, here is a pie chart to explain what you would need to make your own time pie..”
