You wouldn't, hence why time existed before the big bang.
- Dujo:
How would you define "before" without time?
- Kurtni Von Teese:
- Spacetime in the sense that we know it was created with the big bang

I said..
- Dujo:
- Didn't you say it was created with the Big Bang?
The laws and conditions that define our universe now were not the same before the big bang.
- Kurtni:
- Spacetime in the sense that we know it ...
I thought motion and gravity were affected by time.
- Kurtni Von Teese:
Yes it does. :shifty By physical, I mean pertaining to physics and time does have properties. Time is affected by motion and gravity, both properties discussed in the general theory of relativity. Time is not just an idea. You're looking at time from a philosophical point of view, this is about the scientific view of time which is totally different.
- lyrical_mess:
- Time doesn't have any physical properties.

Yeah it does.
- So Wrong It's Haley.:
- Time doesn't really exist.
Those parameters were invented by humans. So maybe 'two thirty' doesn't matter to the universe as a whole. But just because we have invented our own parameters and put our own human values on time, does not necessarily mean that time itself does not exist.
- So Wrong It's Haley.:
- Time doesn't really exist. It's just something that we use to organize our day. We invented "four o' clock", "two thirty", ect. to describe the sun's position and the time of day.
Because of those extra four minutes, the year is a little shorter than 365 days or however long it is, and that is where leap year comes from. Or something along those lines.
- The Doctor.:
- Relating to this, our day is twenty-three hours and fifty-six minutes long. We invent four minutes everyday. According to clocks, we have one thousand, four hundred and forty minutes a day; eighty six thousand, one hundred and sixty seconds. Where did these four minutes come from? The next day? We invent one thousand, four hundred and sixty minutes a year. That means we could have a whole new day. Then you have further complications of approximately 365.25 days per annum, which confuses everything so much more.
The year is over 365 days. It's about 365.25 days. In earlier times, they used to celebrate the quarter day as a festival. But we add up the quarters and make a whole new day every year.

What? :shifty
- lyrical_mess:
- But here's the thing: A month is measured by the moon.
Yeah, but we don't measure months like that anymore. :shifty So you could say the moon was created in a month.
- lyrical_mess:
- Uh...isn't that why its called a month? Waaaaaay long ago, a month was pretty much one moon cycle? Please do correct me if I'm wrong. I tend to be wrong a lot.
"Having found supposedly distant quasars in front of nearby galaxies, the Big Bang may be snuffed out."
- alexandriaaaa -_-:
- The Big Bang Theory has been pretty much dissproved-
That's just not true. :shifty Most scientists do support the big bang theory and continue to research it, it's the most popular cosmological model.
- alexandriaaaa -_-:
- when most scientists are not even considering this a theory anymore.
