I mean, if it’s getting bigger, there must be a space for it to get bigger. If you have a large box and begin to inflate a balloon, the balloon can only inflate to the inner dimensions of the box. But if there’s space for the universe to expand, doesn’t that mean the space is not part of the universe? My brain hurts, lol.

You don’t need an absolute starting point to do so. Same as space, where relative distance is still distance.

Sorry to be late to the party. Been arguing on another blog with some creationists about origins and the Beginning. Naturally they are absolutists when it comes to a Start. It kind of goes with part and parcel with the dogma in their books…Why this imperative to have a beginning. On the blog I proposed that there was no start to time. I was doing it as exercise to confront my own biases and was admittedly talking outta my ass. I am after all a simple man, not an astrophysicist. Ended up being called a heretic. Which is fine. Still for some reason now the idea of no singularity and no beginning has an appeal to me. I find that interesting…So off I go to Google it brings me here… gotta question… I realize it is philosophical but my grasp of Physics is, well, limited. So this is best I can do…

Does proposing that there was no beginning make time meaningless?

But there is plenty of evidence for a big bang origin, meaning an initial hot dense state.

Not science.

SO I THERE AM SAYING THAT THE SO CALLED “BIG BANG” IS A LIE

Believe it or not by Robert Norton A Old Friend that has followed your work for quite some time professor and you have hit Forbes and are not affraid to teach as far as middle East Arnab Irfan or old friend and many more of our Allie’s.
If you would Share I’m at:
robertnorton317@gmail.com thank you for your brilliance and intelligent work on EMDrive and Rydberg Molecules that excite Electrons your onsite on gravitational waves ,the beautifully illustration of the emergence of two black hole and the simplest like vectors like newton law of gravity F1=F2=G M1×M2/r^
I have books made of your work and other professors to remember and add rebuttal
But all is brilliance by the best your top of the list …..

It’s an idea that’s worked so far, but we can’t eliminate the possibility that another theory is better….

In the case of cosmological theories, it doesn’t matter how many predictions are confirmed, you cannot eliminate the possibility that another theory is a better explanation. The point is that theories are fine, but calling them facts is questionable.
