Of course, ask away. But you cannot use the known physical laws to something about that state when the known physical laws don't work in that regime.
I agree... yet isn't there a threshold to the amount of head-exploding that a notion, such as an uncaused beginning (or a becoming of a current state), is allowed before we say, "Okay, that obviously isn't correct." I mean, I've come to expect science to defy intuition but formal logic? It seems like a dangerous line to tow less we just start accepting explanations because they're all that we have, even if they aren't that good. What do you think?
