eli5: How did the static state of singularity turn into a big bang if there was no time /action?

628 views

sorry for repeating the question, i did read the other replies ,but they don’t answer the point i’m looking for..
Singularity as i understand it =No time = no movement =stasis.

How could that state of no time, stasis change into a big bang ! i read that the causality and time started with the big bang ! ,but if that’s true and accepted, how would the big bang itself possibly happen (for the lack of a better word ) WITHOUT TIME .. !

One interesting concept/theory is if time actually had a beginning, and that was it.

To us it doesn’t make sense that time can have a beginning. “What was *before that*?” seems like a valid question. But what if it isn’t?

You ask which way is North. Someone points you the way and you journey onward. You go a ways and ask again. Keep repeating this process until you reach the North pole. Then you ask, “which was is North?” And people look at you, confused. What the fuck do you mean? This IS North. There is no further North than this.

Maybe time is like that. If you were to go backwards in time, once you cross the Big Bang you are now going forwards in time again, even though you haven’t changed directions. You bottomed out.
