Given multiverse theories we can excuse time starting in our universe.

So how do you explain to a child that time might never had a beggining?

in the other identical thread

tell them the truth which is at this time we have no theories that indicate when time started.

It’s something not fully understood. Nor is space.

Is it not OK to say that we don’t know?

Yeah, I’ll go with that. :)

>When did time start?

What makes you think it ever did?

chuckle….just a thought.;)

It all gets a bit funny why fizzy chests cannot see a difference in time running backwards and forwards.

personally I’ve given up at my job, its crisis management – that’s how they like it

most times I’m running around diagnosing a problem then never being sent back to fix it with new parts

I’m lucky – I can call a friend that has more experience – try this try that

I receive ALL of my training over the phone

I’m not saying the police don’t do their best – I’m saying they don’t know what they are doing

It should start everytime you wind up the clock.

Good point, I’ll check the latest results from the Planck spacecraft. 13.798±0.037 billion years ago.

For all intents and purposes, time, for us, started at the instant of the big bang.

If you are going to argue that, perhaps we could say:

When the first living organism in the Universe appeared,
or when the first living organism on this planet appeared,
or when the first living organism aware of the passage of time appeared,
or when the first example of Homo Sapiens was born,
or when you were born (or perhaps conceived),
or when you wore up this morning.

time likely be largely so construction
there is physical change
here’n there’n everywhere happenin’
plenty energy exchangin’
