I have a question about the big bang
We theorise that all the matter came from a singularity and that this expanded at the big bang shedding matter and energy in vast expanses.
However, if this is the description of how matter came to be, then how did time ever come to be? The very first tiny fraction of a second (the Planck time?!)... how did this ever trigger.
Another aspect which is intriguing is that the universe at the very start of time was already *the Planck time* old (forgive me i have forgotten the age) before it was anything less. How does this happen? How could its very first instant be an age already. It's like saying that when a baby is born it is already 10 seconds old (not considering that it has been alive inside the womb) before it has been 1 second old Anyways, answers would be very appreciated... also if answers are not possible to give, i understand that also.
