Funny they refer to “time” before time existed.

Yes, “let there be light”.

Their model may help explain why we experience time moving in a straight line from yesterday into tomorrow.
“no one gets confused about which is yesterday and which is tomorrow”.

Well,,,, now I am getting confused. And I hope to make it through today!

Feed the broken egg to a chicken, and wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dr Adrienne Erickcek, and colleagues from the California Institute for Technology (Caltech), now believes these fluctuations contain hints that our Universe "bubbled off" from a previous one.

So, our Universe is nothing more than a fart?
