I place limits on the system where time will be defined, with the start of time being t=0 when the (Grand Unification) force/energy (f/e) of the Big Bang (BB) is pure and unadulterated. The end of time is when the heat energy of the universe is uniformly spread and homogenous throughout. If the expansion of the volume of 3D space of the universe is found to be accelerating then time is infinite.

Consider the initial, raw f/e of the universe and its origin. The f/e I refer to is some 10*19 GeV according to the Grand Unification Theory. I propose two statements to answer the question of the origin of the f/e:

1.) The f/e originated from some “thing” which does not exist.

2.) The f/e originated from some “thing” which was already in existence.

Existence is defined as qualities greater than or equal to which our universe is constructed with. Something which does not exist is defined as void of the qualities our universe possesses. (This particular premise needs more “meat” and definition before a quality paper is submitted …)

Because the statement is logically inconsistent and absurd to conclude that some “thing” that does not exist could have been the origin of the universe, by consequence the alternative statement must be valid. Some “thing” is the origin of the f/e of the universe.

This conclusion gives no definition as to the nature of this entity or “thing.” It is only a foot in the door acknowledging the necessity for the existence of something as the origin of the f/e of the universe. Future construction of logically consistent statements may give further definition as to the nature of this “thing.”

If anyone desires collaborating on this train of thought, contact me. Within the next ten, fifteen months I’ll have a paper submitted, perhaps sooner with collaboration.
