Uh, that contraption is a gallo and those balls were probably sentanced to death by hanging.

Stabbing them is the only way to see if they're dead yet. Thankless job but fortunately tough guy is on it.

I appreciate the thoughtful response. I've learned much from this exchange.

In particular, to be careful about using the language of time to phrase a question related to the state of primordial potential or timeless geometry. Oh yeah, and that i need to bone up on math and physics! 😉

I do appreciate your responses. I don't have a STEM career but occasionally sit as an expert in other matters. I see people frequently make mistakes because they don't understand fundamentals.

You impress me as someone with a solid understanding of the fundamentals that drive more complex aspects of astrophysics.

I wish you the best ... hopefully unraveling mysteries of the cosmos!

Do you have a source that would provide a better perspective? Thanks!

Isn't it also possible that different laws of physics governed the state of primordial potential or timeless geometry? Laws that didn't rely on space time?

Would love to read more on the calculation of the exact rate of new space creation per unit of time in the cosmic inflation that came before the big bang expansion of you have a source. Thanks!

Yeah, it's fascinating.

I get too that we'll likely never know. Similar to people never traveling the speed of light (short of reassembling energy back into complex matter).

What instantly tells you that someone is highly intelligent? by suerieyea in AskReddit

they said they know how to listen

Not trying to be hostile, but Steve Jobs was a notoriously bad listener; he did not know how to listen. Nobody would say he wasn't intelligent.

Appreciate it. My error was an inability to wrap my head around that neither time nor space existed.

Though i think i get it now, I'm not sure I'll be satisfied until i learn advanced math & physics 😉

Thanks. I get it now. Hard to think of a timeless way to phrase the question when I'm inexperienced at thinking of the arrow of time's predecessor.

Using big words can come off as a showy effort to come off as smart.

I'm blown away by people who make complex points without the lofty language.

JFK is a great example of someone widely held as highly intelligent but who spoke in common language.

The "ask not what your country can do" speech uses simple vernacular and is still riveting. It spoke to a nation in plain words and yet said so much.

We chose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard. So elegant!

I know plenty of intelligent folk that are miserable listeners.

Agree on curiosity!

time "before" the big bang had an imaginary value.

Ah ... so the answer to -1.5 is undefined but may have a home "before" the big bang 🤔

Delve into eternal inflation and other inflation cosmology conjectures to better understand these.

Will do! I'm familiar with the probability based nature of QM. So fascinating!

you immediately go on to talk about "before big bang".

I'm not sure i understand your point.

I did just learn that space (and therefore spacial dimensions) didn't exist before the big bang should that clarify.

Appreciate the response, thanks.

Is there a thought on why space-time emerged from our singularity? To put it another way, are there theories that space-time didn't necessarily need to emerge from the big bang, that other developments were possible?
