"not a linear cone but one which expands like the bell of a trumpet. In this pondering, the reason that it looks like a big bang happened at a particular time in the past is that we can only "see" from our current location back to the singularity, and since time as we know it stops there, it looks like a beginning. Ouch! I "

You're stealing my thunder!

We could be "interpreting" the stoppage and startage of time from a blindfolded perspective, however. It doesn't make sense (at this point) that timespace (I reversed it) should have started. RESTARTED--surely. But STARTED??? How does timespace get started?? How does that relate to General Relativity or Newtonian physics??

Even in a singularity there must be some space and some time immanent--one would think. What can contract (or begin) outside of time and space? If it moves to time and space, was time/space pre-existing? ... or can what we consider that essential paradigms flow from causal actions where causal, actions have no meaning being outside of time and space.??

In which case--how do causal actions influence apart from timespace?? The pineal gland!!?? :-)
