Apparently Rahvin wrote
Even the Big Bang does not suggest that there was a point "before" the Universe existed -
Ok, I wanna try and see if I get this into my tiny little mind. Does that mean the universe always was?
only that it existed as the Singularity at the beginning of the expansion we now see.
The universe always was but it used to be smaller?
We know that the Singularity existed,
Thats the little tiny(like my mind) universe, right? We know that?
and that asking about "before" the Singularity is a nonsense question.
Ya, I guess if the universe always was that would be kinda silly.
​
So we know this, that the universe has always been here but it used to be smaller?
​
I wonder how small.

Man, I don't know if I can wrap my head around this.

What's there to wrap your head around?
Well, the whole frickin universe, thats what.It seems there's quite a bit of it out there.
Consider the following. Suppose you are standing directly on the north pole. You ask, "what's north of here?" Is there an answer to this question?
Well,I'm not sure, cause if I was standing on the magnetic north pole wouldn't I be able to point north?
I'd say this question is nonsensical and doesn't deserve an answer. Apply this to time.
Are you saying that time is round?

Re: Re-Hard time wraping small head around this
I'm sorry, but I'm kinda stuck here.
The universe always was but it used to be smaller?
Is this true?
​
As I said, I wanna understand.
