Bet that was a real shock to this the Father.
actually, the article introduces new observations, theories about the Universe I've never heard before in a clear easy to understand way.
They now say that there was no Big Bang. Everything has existed for ever.
Can someone explain this meaningless juxtaposition of unrelated terms: “hidden time”.

Stephen Hawking has said “asking what happened before the big bang is like asking what is one foot north of the north pole.”
Not to be confused with hidden fees.
It is just possible that our ability to comprehend it is almost as strong as a dog’s ability to understand FM Radio.
rofl!! what the @#$ is your IQ if this is clear and easy to understand? mine is 140 and i didn’t understand a word of it. There are too many geniuses on this board and it’s hitting my self esteem lol
They have to keep inventing fancies like this to keep from facing the simple truth.
My theory is that a little girl in another dimension got a Universe Kit for her birthday.
My theory: "And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light."
I swear these scientists just sit around and make this stuff up to mess with us.
Answer: The Big Dinner and a couple of drinks.
There is the bang and there is the crunch. both are related to energy and gravity.
after the bang, a release of matter, the matter is dispersed in all directions because the force of the energetic discharge is greater than the gravity holding the matter together.
at some point, as the matter travels outward from the point of discharge, the force of gravity will begin to reassert and slow and finally overcome the energetic force of dispersion.
at that point, collapse will begin and gravity will cause all the matter to accrete towards the origin and the crunch will complete the cycle.
locally, the moon is accreted matter formerly earth rings. The nine planets and all the asteroids are the sun’s rings. All will are part of the milky way galactic accretion
galactic accretion is the result of gravitational attraction within matter in the dispersing matter field and a precursor to the reverse action or collapse to the crunch.
I know you didn’t ask, but I felt duty bound to remove all the equations and calculations and set the matter straight in simple terms.
PS: Time is the interval between the initial bang dispersal and the final crunch accretion
Mathematician and artist.
You asked: "Who knew there was a hidden time?" And yet, I don't think Belbruno was explicitly arguing that there is "hidden time." What he's doing is using mathematical probes (if I might call them that) to test various hypotheses. As tremendously useful as mathematics is, it routinely uses concepts that are widely regarded as not physically constructible; e.g., the notion of infinity. The physical case — the "physical relevance" of t-prime — requires further study, just as Belbruno notes in the above italics. That will require the construction of relevant, replicable experiments. And that may be easier said than done.
What I find interesting is that mathematically-constructed cosmologies in general do not seem to be reconcilable with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, specifically with the problem of entropy. If the universe in fact "eternally" cycles between boom and bust periods, it's easy to see how the busts happen; but what reboots the next boom, the next big bang? It is widely believed that entropy necessarily increases, or at best stays the same, in a closed system. The problem is, there is evidently no way for human beings to tell whether the universe, as a global physical system, is open or closed.
But it's instructive to entertain the speculations of mathematical cosmologists nonetheless. Especially if they are also artists and regarded as exceptionally gifted in the intuition department.
