Hi all, seems to me that all of this hangs upon the idea that the universe is finite. By this I mean that there is a beginning and an ending. As most of us have been directly influenced by the Judeo / Christian way of looking at things this is quite understandable. (please note that I am not bringing G-d into the equation just the idea that our culture limits the questions we can ask)
How would the questions and answers be effected, or indeed would they be, if we were to approach this from the cultural belief that the universe is infinite with no beginning and no ending?
If the big bang was simply the continuation of what came before... and in time what was started would move into what comes next?
