The Spontaneous Beginning of Spacetime
#3
RE: The Spontaneous Beginning of Spacetime
If there is no time, there is no concept of causation or something doing something, and hence the question makes no sense. That being said, we don't know whether time is finite in the naive sense when we go backwards. As aoi magi said, things can get messy in quantum gravity, and whatever happens there is probably more complicated than the simple classical singularity. As long as we don't have a clearer picture about inflation or alternatives, all bets are off anyways.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
