I always pictured time as a river, and I'm sure most others have. But what if time was like a pool of water, and stuff just happened? I guess you can say something can't exist until someone, or something makes it exist, right? Then did time exist during, or around, the big bang? Or is time eternal and infinite? Can time be eternal? Or is there a beginning to that too? If so, was there anything before time? Maybe there weren't any events before time, making time unneeded. What Tormod said earlier about the universe not existing without time, would kinda' be like what people say about God. Just like God explains what started everything, time explains everythign else that happens.
