That would seem to be a beginning.

And by "time began at or about the Big Bang," I mean, "time came into existence as part of the Big Bang, depending on how you define 'Big Bang'."

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

    - I think that's part of Einstein's physics, space-time began at the big bang. - iairishcheeks - 5:46pm 3/21/26
- You might also ask what existed before time began. - NedoftheHill - 4:53pm 3/21/26
