Since the Cosmic Ylem (soup) and the beginning of time,the universe has been expanding outward in every direction at nearly the speed of light.I feel like if we make a telescope strong enough we can see the beginning if we look in any (every) direction.The very fact that our time began at the Big Bang and the energy kernel was already there is also real proof of other dimensions.It is such a trip to recognize three dimensional space is fused with time to make up our 4th dimensional spacetime continuum. The faster you travel through space, the slower you travel through time. So if we're at a park and I'm running around a track, and you are sitting still, time is measurably going slower for me than it is for you. That is why photons (and other massless particles) traveling at light speed don't experience time. Just pure space. That is also why anything with mass cannot travel at light speed, for it would take more than the total energy of the universe to make that happen. Even crazier is that time began with the big bang, so the notion of time before that expansion doesn't make sense. How would there be a 'before' before time existed? Makes you want to take a hit and ponder...
I love this series.
