what is god actually

[Retorth]

I was under the impression that the concept of time was what was implied and not the measurement per se.

A straight forward question: What happened before the big bang?

We don't know. Time did not exist, we don't have a way of finding out, at least for now.

I recall a discussion with an old customer from my workplace at a cafe. Clever man. An expert in noise pollution and sound engineering. He brought up an idea that there could exist a beginning of time but that the existence of the universe could never be found in terms of a point in time. You could approach the beginning of the existence of the universe infinitesimally but you could never reach the state of the existence of the universe exactly at the beginning of time. I think he mentioned that it was mathematically similar to a hyperbola and that based on that theory, there could very well exist a parallel universe together with ours. But I paid no attention at this point and tried to shoo him away so I could serve the other customers.

That is fascinating. A parallel universe exactly as how ours is?
