did time had a begining?

even if your not spiritual read Genuises 1:1 and see how far you need to read before your questions anwered.

The accurate answer to your second question is "not really".  Our current system for measuring time is based on the movements of our planet & our solar system, which of course did not exist in their current state at the beginning.  Those units, however, have been standardized for convenience & accuracy to reference the cesium atom, so can be back-calculated.\n\nThe answer to your first question is that time began at the instant of the so-called 'big bang'.  Before that there was nothing to reference it again, so the passage of time had no meaning or substance.\n\nWeird, huh?

Einstein said we are living in the past time, that means we have not "now time"!\nSo, nobody can not answer, what time is it! maybe we can ask, what time was it!!

Well....let's look at this logically:  The universe (including time itself) can be shown to have had a beginning.\n\nIt is unreasonable to believe something could begin to exist without a cause.  Stephen Hawking says this.\n\nThe universe, therefore, requires a cause, just as Genesis 1:1 and Romans 1:20 teach.\n\nNow - this is important to understand:  God, as the creator of time, is outside of time. Since therefore He has no beginning in time, He has always existed, so doesn't need a cause.\n\nGod did not "create Himself".  \n\nThink outside of the box.  Outside of dimensions.  There are many more than the "three" you see.

Well, time really doesn't exist. It's a human invention. We define time as what it is because our minds can't fully comprehend the fact that the universe is one big giant now. So nothing begins, or goes away, because everything happens at the same time. We choose to say it happens at different times, but it really happens in different places, on different planes of existence.

Time was created (along with space, matter, and energy) when the universe was created.  Before the beginning of the universe, there is no such thing as time.  To say that "God was there from the beginning" can only mean that God was there since the beginning of this universe.  To ask what happened before the beginning of time makes no sense at all.  We cannot possibly comprehend what exists apart from this universe (other dimensions), because our minds were not built to do so.  To say that God "always" existed has no meaning to other dimensions, because "always" is specifically a time descriptor.\n\nI'm not giving this reason as a cop-out.  I'm only trying to suggest that maybe existence isn't what we think it is.  Maybe this question really has no meaning (or not the meaning you think it does), and maybe it's not even possible for us to understand the answer.  I'm not saying to stop looking, I'm only saying that there is that possibility.

Time is simply a measurement. That's it. Nothing more-a measurement. Even in other galaxies events happen. There is a sequence to events. Time is how we keep track of what happened first. Time is not a stream of light. I believe they call that "light", or gammas, or whatever else you wish. This is a subject that has confused many a great mind by overcomplication.

So far humanity has been around in its modern form for only a few hundred thousand years.  Written language was only developed six to eight thousand years ago.  In that time we've gone from clay tablets to tablet PCs, from sand to silicon microprocessors.  Six thousand years ago learned men believed that the Earth was a flat disk surrounded on all sides by water, and that the universe had been created from this water.  Now scientists can trace the origins of time to within a billionth of a second of the Big Bang.\n\nThat's in six thousand years.  A million years is one hundred sixty six times that long, and we're jumping off from our current base of technology and learning.\n\nWhat humanity will be capable of in the next thousand thousand years is just staggering.  We literally cannot imagine the questions our descendants will be asking, or the answers that they will find.\n\nI don't doubt that scientists in a millions years will be able to tell you in detail how the universe began.  I'm curious if they will be able to tell you why.

Yes I did. I built a "time machine" ___ years to perfect it. It took me ___ years. Of course there is no time, so you may have noticed that there are times which are not listed above. This proves time does not exist. I rest my case. And I would like to thank the academy for not revoking my birth certificate.\n\nMy first discovery was that there is no such thing as time.\nThat helped alot, because now, all the time it would take to invent a time machine didn't exist, so I would be able to have invented one already.\n\nI instantly realized that if you travel at the speed of light, time stops. Go faster than the speed of light, and you start going back in time. Therefore, go slower than the speed of time and you go forward in time. Make sense so far?\n\nSince time doesn't exist anyway, why figure out how to go faster than the speed of light. You are already there. And if you had an accident, while traveling that fast, surely your insurance wouldn't cover it and your speeding ticket would be astronomical, and I wouldn't be rich enough to pay it (wait a minute - if time is money, and there is no time, there is no money, so I can afford to speed again. See how great life is? (but if your lifetime is made of time, and there is no time, you are dead right now. That seems inconvenient. But I feel great if I'm dead right now. Maybe I've been worrying for nothing.\n\nI then remembered (my first step in going back in time) that the infinite Universe in which we live goes "out" forever. Since I, as a human being, go infinitely IN forever (no matter how small the piece of my, you could always cut it in half) and the inner-most in of infinity is already inside my body, and since there is no number bigger than infinity, everything is inside me already...all of infinity. I slowed down and realized that I don't need speed, time, life, money or insurance, to travel in time. Why, the electrons in every one of my atoms are already traveling at the speed of light and particles in them are going even faster. That should help too. \n\nViola! If there is no time, therefore I am already infinity years old, I don't have (but I could) go anywhere in time, because I have already been there, and there is here, and here is now, so there you go.\n\nI don't have to sell any of you my time machine. Each of you already has one. I wouldn't call it a time machine though, because there is no such thing as time (which is easy to prove by just picking up a phone in one country and talking to someone in another a few "time" zones forward or back, you are "time travelling" talking to someone in today or tomorrow (your choice) so you can make yourself time travel at will.\n\n"But I can't SEE the person I'm talking to on the phone" you might say.\n\nFine. Go out tonight and look at the stars. By the "time" it took light to travel to your eye from the star, thousands of "years" passed, so you are actually seeing them as they looked thousands of years ago...and, you are seeing those stars with eyes that "weren't even alive thousands of years ago. So you can see without eyes too.\n\nBut I guess the short answer would be "yes".

Time is just a concept, it does not really exist. We track time by the movement of celestial objects in the universe and light but time is abstract.

yes, in a way it already has.\n\nthere is a missing day in the history of the world.they went back an did all there cauculations and found there was.\n\nin the Bible there is one part were Jashua is fighting an he asks God to make the sun an moon stant still.\nand He did until they won.\nanother place a man was asking God if he would live to be older, an as a sign , the shadows would go backwords for a certain amout of time.\n\ntheologists have found that the time in both of these incodents have added up to exactly 1 day.\n\nCoincedence?

there was no matter. our human mind cant comprehend the fact that God MADE matter AND TIME . God is not bound to time like we r. For to Him a thousand years in heaven is one day here.and a thousand years here is 1 day in heaven.doesnt make any sence unless u know the truth of God. not the public , deceptive view the world gives us.

yes\nin the beginning

No. The world was not created 5000 years ago by a supreme being. It evolved into what we see around us through billions of years of change commonly referred to as evolution.

Space and time aren't the same thing, they just form one continuum. Not that you're particularly interested in the actual answer mind.

The physics behind the beginning of the universe  was probably different than it is today.  For instance the period of inflation was not something that is happening now  Unless the current expansion of the universe is the same thing just slowed down.  But I would say the chances are that even a TOE won't help us understand where the universe came from.

Yes, it is the same time here as there.  Time is an artificial construct; an illusion that we use to mark the progression of our stay on this planet.  Time doesn't truly exist, we exist and we use the various methods of measuring time (clocks, watches, egg timers, etc.) to keep track of how long we are in existence.
