Murpholding...

Our battle with time is like a Tug-o-War against an invincible opponent who is toying with you. The rope of your personal time can be easy to hold, moving only slowly. Or it can speed through your hands, disappearing forever in fits and starts, burning your palms as it goes.
Physicists say that time began with the Big Bang. The phrase 'before the Big Bang' has no meaning in their universe. In our conventional world of cause and effect, their argument seems nonsensical. How could there be nothingness, no time, no space, and then there is a massive energy event that creates the universe. This seems like a head-splitting conundrum until you stop and think about who is making this argument. People. Then it all becomes clear. the reason not to let the inconsistency of logic vs physics bother you is that people, pretty universally, are almost always wrong. The ones spouting these theories today were preceded by those who were certain that something completely different was true. If anything, the problem is the way in which people espouse Certainty itself, when our perceptions of reality are so limited. To be certain then becomes suspect, and that realization is what makes the difference.


P.S. I'm certain that I don't like mushrooms. I guess it works for the small stuff... ;)
