i am familiar with commuting/non-commuting observables, Hermitians, etc. i don't accept your proposed counter-argument. an infinite space-time, by definition, cannot appear at once. remember: this is not a space; it is a space-time.
but i am pleased to see someone thoughtful respond. thank...
The Big Bang begins time, not just space. So it means nothing to ask about "before" this moment. To ask "why" pre-supposes there is a "why" - i.e. it assumes there must be a "reason" for the universe. To ask how the universe was created assumes it was created.
I'm not sure why lack of movement would imply time was frozen, but the problem would not arise in a physical system. All systems have a "zero-point energy" - in a sense there is a minimum level of vibration which can never be zeroed out. So, even an apparently frozen system still "wiggles" a...

Hypothetical proposition (of the form “if p, then q” – without asserting the truth of p or q):
If space-time S is not infinitely divisible, then space-time S cannot be infinite in...
