Even if we know the answer in future, can we escape this 'turtles all the way down' thing. Please try to explain.

Still, it seems a valid question.

I don't understand this. When i talked about time being an illusion, my thread was closed!

Thanks for correcting me. So, we don't know. But still, there seem to be two options only. Either there was sth before big bang or there was nothing. In both cases we can't avoid infinity. 1. If there was something, how it came about. If we find another something from which the first...

Let me present the other scenario... Big bang happened from a primordial ball extremely small in size. Time may have existed, since there must have been some motion in that ball that led to explosion. if we negate this, big bang then becomes the case of 'something from absolute nothing'...

Ah! I feel nervous... Even if the philosophy of 'cause and effect' is wrong ( i can't somehow believe it to be so), time is almost certainly eternal. If one says time started with big bang, there must have been some 'ttiimmee' before that 'caused' big bang. Even if big bang was not...

I think it does because there seems no other logical conclusion. In fact this seems inevitable.

If our universe has a history of infinity of cause-effects/time, how could it ever traverse that infinity to reach 'now'. I mean to say, even if our universe started with a big bang, there must have been some cause for it, then a cause for the cause that caused big bang and so on ad...

When the outer parts of sun pass the earth, why wouldn't they affect the earth. The parts that pass would have mass, so they should attract the Earth in some other/ opposite direction.

How can sun affect Earth at such a large distance? It's as if a pole is connecting the two. But it's not. If we divide the entire distance of 15.8 ly into small parts of day 0.1 light year each, it would take a lot of time for the effect/any change to propogate from one part to another...

Thanks for an elaborate reply. So, at the present moment, creation of a black hole doesn't seem a possibility via this method.

I visited the webpage. Nothing much was there regarding concentration of waves/energy. So, extremely large assemblage of energy leads to what, particles or a black hole.

I mean if infinitely large no. of EM waves concentrate at one point, can it lead to formation of some kind of particles?

If an extremely large no. ( may be infinite) waves are concentrated at one point, what effects can happen?

If size of the sun is increased million times ( trillion times or gazillion times), keeping its mass same and then the planets are redistributed outside of it. Will the planets still revolve around it
