Besides, the idea of time and space relating to (1) contradicts scientific facts. — Tombob
I was talking about time: "Imagine a growing number with an infinite past, that has been increasing each second of its existence." The concept implies physical impossibility, thus existing as an abstracticality, while our reality is existing as physical. — Tombob
To assume space-time cannot be caused, is to assume (1). — Tombob
