It's About Time!!

Here's a new way of thinking about time.

Consider these two following points:

1. Consider that there may be a time period so brief that no real change in the universe can occur in a more-brief period of time. Theoretically, this time limit is one plank second. We can talk about imaginary time or virtual time until the cows come home, but if indeed no real change can occur in less than one plank second, then the term "one-half plank second" has no real meaning.

Remember, time isn't merely sometimes relative, it MUST be relative. It's a relative concept. The concept of time only has real meaning in the context of real change, i.e. one thing changing relative to another, or one thing changing from the state it was in a moment ago.

2. Time began at the origin of the expanding universe according to the standard model of the Big Bang theory. This doesn't mean that someone flicked a switch and started the time-making machine. It means that if there is nothing but one single thing, (the theorized singularity), and there is as of yet no change, then, again, the concept of time would have no real meaning. Time "began" to have real meaning when there "began" to be real change.
