In the begining?

[spud]

I was just reading through some of the threads below and i have a question for you.


In the begining there was nothing and then there was the big bang!

What I have always pondered is what colour (color) was nothing and if it had a colour (color) then surely it must have been somthing?

it was black, and technicly black isn't a colour, it's a lack of colour. (although if you exept this then you might as well say 0 isn't a number, it's a lack of numbers)

basicly objects are not different colours, light is different colours, different object reflect different coloured light and so they look like they are a particular colour. where there is no light we see black (turn the light off, what colour's the room?)

Current theory however is that there wasn't a before the big bang, time began at the big bang (this is a wierd mathsy idea which doesn't have a lot to do with reality) I'm not sure exactly why and it's impossible to imagine the idea of no time (and no space either for that matter) but the people who said that were pretty damn clever, so I believe them.

Good answer!

Just a thought, death must be the same the end of time as we know so do we just become nothing?

Whoever said there was nothing before the big bang?


Its like these theories of Black Holes being wormholes to other times/dimensions... The only way to find out is to go and the only way to go is to get squashed into a tiny insignificant cluster of atoms...

I just want to know what happens when 2 black holes start attracting each other ;-)
