  prove that time is not Eternal,

  google it.

  I have no idea what you mean by this.

  Heaven

  What I have come to learn is that without Death, there would be no Life.

  Since time is a dimension that can only exist within the universe it has to be as old as the universe.

  Or am I missing something?

  Dr Who said (and he's the scientist I prefer), that time isn't linear it's all 'timey wimey'!

  .....................but then there are Daleks in Dr Who.................

  Darn! I'm still boned.

  cl: before there was the universe, what was there? nothing?

  so there must have been nothing before the universe. but

  for how long was there nothing before there was the universe?

  all ways?

  an eternity?

  Time wise?

  DEATH = absence of YOUR life was eternal before your birth.

  I watched our cat die under the hands of a competent vet. Stunning, really, how quickly everything starts shutting down.

  I plan on leaving a heritage to my children and grandchild. Maybe some of my writing will endure. I might plant an oak.

  Good question. No one knows.

  so there must have been nothing before the universe.

  Oh, no one knows. You can't draw a conclusion based on a lack of knowledge.

  but for how long was there nothing before there was the universe?

  It's clear that the time we experience is part of the space we inhabit, hence the name "spacetime". The fast you move through space, the slower you move through time and vice versa.

  It's not at all clear if time exists without space, what that would look like, what it's properties would be, etc. That seems counter-intuitive, but then, so does a LOT of the fuctional science we rely on.

  You are asking questions for which we don't yet have good mathemathics to describe and or observational evidence. The truest and simplest answer is "we don't know yet". What we do know is that observational evidence matches what theoretical math and physics says we should, at this point, roughly see if the universe underwent a rapid expansion around 13.8 billion years ago. We cannot see beyond the outmost edges of background microwave radiation at this point.

  Didn't you conclude13.8 billions years based on that Math?
