I just read the entire thread with great interest. I like SirDystic's view about time being a human invented concept. Can we say that it only exists because we measure it by inventing our own reference points based on other objects in the universe (Sun, Earth, Moon etc) which are interacting with each other?
If we assume that "nothing" existed before the big bang, then there was no no reference point for time... Does this mean there was no time because there was nobody or no way to measure it? I'm no scientist but, do the laws of physics state that time physically exists, or is it just a measurement of human perspective? (if that makes sense)
