The universe totally boggles my mind. I find it really hard to comprehend what the Big Bang started from (besides the text book answer -- a singularity). Doesn't there have to be
something first that the singularity came from ie: causality? I know that time, space, and matter started with the Big Bang, no problem, but there is always the niggling question of
what the hell was there before? and by
before I don't mean timewise, I just mean in a logical sequence of events there has to be something before, not necessarily timewise before.
Thinking about these things makes me realize that we can't only be in four dimesions, it seems there
has to be a more logical explanation to the natural birth of the universe (or non-birth) because the idea that the universe as a huge smooth bubble with either no boundries or definite boundries and in both cases
nothing outside of it seems crazy! I can't picture it, what is outside of time/space/matter, a blank sheet? It's no wonder creationists just do away with the thinking and place 'God' there. I don't blame them!
