Astrophysicist are confused about 'time' and I'm getting worried about these folk. Seems that they don't know where time has 'gone'. A couple of them think that by digging in and around the Big Bang they might just find the birthplace of time. Now these are very smart folk and have degrees to prove it, but they need to stop and take another look at what time really is.
Time is like 'up' there is no such PHYSICAL 'thing' as up. In fact 'up' is VERY nebulous, it lasts only an immeasurable INSTANT, and then the earth rotates a miniscule amount and that 'up spot' you WERE looking at in the sky, is gone, gone forever.
The same logic applies when dealing with the fleeting nature of what we call, time. Time is here and gone in an immeasurable instant. There is no such thing as a point in time, it is ALWAYS moving, it NEVER sets still, and yet, it never goes anywhere. Time is really nothing but an arbitrary 'yardstick', a convenience for humans, used for the measurement of physical changes.
But, these astrophysists are stalking what they call the 'beginning of time". Commons sense
should tell them that time has NO beginning or end, only physical things have beginnings and endings. We will never be able to find the 'beginning' of time and no one will live to see the 'end' of time, it is simply and impossible and will always be impossible.
