>It's obvious that I am using human words to describe something far bigger than my tiny mind can comprehend. But, as I said in the beginning, this is what stumps me. Sometimes it makes me too dizzy to even think about it.< I'm like, right there! :-) If we accept what cosmologically-oriented astronomers tell us - then the universe has a finite and definite age. It had a "start time". It must have precipitated out of some sort of hyperspatial matrix. What that matrix might be is ... probably incomprehensible by definition. I satisfy myself with a mundane, beverage-based metaphor. Ever watch bubbles in soda? They have a definite start point. Not there, then - initiation, and growth. First ten-to-the-minus-a lot second of the universe musta been like that. And like the soda bubble, no cause for just that time was evident. So I think it's plausible (not compelling or necessary, but plausible) that the universe "fell out" of its matrix. That matrix might be such that time or mind has no meaning therein. ...Beer?
