h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The "Big Bang"-theory defines the beginning of time at the point when the mass started to expand spherical from the bang, covering a distance in, well, a certain time. But what time was it just before the whole thing decided to blow? I mean, was there a kind of anti-time (retro-active, whatever), that dragged all mass "back" to the critical point to, finally, reverse and run the other "way"? Thinking about time is very much like thinking about infinity - there´s just no real "point" of view. No word is as inaccurate a description as "now".

Whew...so LATE already...got to go...

from what I got from A brief history of time" there was no time before the big bang becuase gravity was infinity and as time flows slower the greater the gravity, time was moving infinitly slowly, this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the universe does not exist (there was an infinite period of "imaginary time before the universe reached a point where time could move forward. Infinity + endless so we aren't really here discussing thi

I really should remember to proof read before I post, sorry, hope it makes sense anyway
please use the following to replace garbage, thank you
because
gravity was infinite
Infinite = endless

we aren't really here discussing this eh? I can live with that.
