I believe the first three points above are generally regarded as mainstream?In which case how can you deny the fourth which is a natural outcome of the others?
1)As I understand it, quantum mechanics does allow for energy to spontaneously appear from the vacuum.
2)According to the big bang theory this was the source of the energy for the big bang.
3)According to the big bang theory time did not exist before the big bang, nor did gravity.
4)If time and gravity did not exist then the appearance of photons took place by definition outside of time (and gravity). Outside of time is instantaneous.QuoteThis is not mainstream. Photons only spontaneously appear within the fabric of our space-time. No space-time = no photons instantly appearing. Also, "instantaneous" assumes that time exists. The problem is you're assuming that we can logically infer what happened before the universe existed by making observations of our universe. In fact, you can't do this because all our concepts about space and time break down at the big bang and can't be extended before it. In fact, all our best theories break down before we even get to the big bang, though there's hope that future theories can push closer to it.
