But I get the impression from what he's saying that you have to buy into that (although I've only had a quick read and I'm not going to pretend to understand it all )
I actually think concepts such as origin of time are things that are possibly beyond our understanding, like we're just not built to be able to understand it rather than it being something that we need to discover more about like with things involving physics. It's similar to how an ant could walk across an ipad, and understand that there is an object there, but have no comprehension of what it's function is and wouldn't understand even if someone/something were able to communicate it to the ant, we see that other creatures have limited understanding of things and see there world in ways that are unique to them and I think the same is probably true of us and there are many things we observe in the world that are beyond our potential for understanding, and the concept of time I think is one of them. I'm not sure if I'm making sense because I'm rushing but yeah it's very interesting and it's really impressive how he thinks about things. I'll read more about it when I have time ( )

I get what you’re saying.I’ve looked a little into it too but it’s mind boggling.
I think it’s possible that there are other dimensions.Many people think that space-time is the fourth dimension.
Like you say though.We can only perceive three dimensions.Like if you dropped a cube down into a 2D world then to the inhabitants it’d just be a square.

We need Quantum computers and AI to figure this stuff out.Oh a Stephen Hawking.
