I'm sorry analog, I guess my brain is as dense as a black hole. I'm sure David or Neutralino would be the ones you would want to discuss this with to get proper feedback.

A few thoughts I'll share with you, though they may be very simplistic.

I view the big bang to be like a pressure cooker that exploded. This initial explosion accounted for the spatial inflation, and later the spatial expansion.

I believe time to be relative in accordance with Einsteins theory of special relativity.

I don't view time to be a seperate entity. Also if there was such a thing as "infinite time" it would no longer be time, rather it would be eternal or eternity, neither one being time, since time can be measured, and eternity can not.

In closing you'll have to take this discussion up with one better trained than I.

Best to you sir,

Pat
