General Science / Re: The Start of Time?

How does the BB contradict 'can't get something from nothing'?
Its possible that the matter of the BB came from outside spacetime.
Indeed, even the zero-energy universe hypothesis requires a seed of matter - from outside of spacetime.
QuoteAlso nothing permanent can exist in time - 2nd law of thermodynamics.I think not
Everything in time withers and dies, or wears away or decays. Something permanent is required. I don't believe anything is permanent in time.
Anyway, I'm personally convinced that time must have a start:
All systems require an initial state else there are no subsequent states.
The universe is a system - so it requires an initial state - the start of time.
