I keep overthinking time...

[GladosKuki33]

I know the whole thing about the universe being infinate, but...I thought BEYOND THE BOX this time. Since I kept thinking about what happened before the Big Bang, and if anything started EVERYTHING, I keep worrying, and getting constant anxiety about...everything. It keeps making me think about how tomorrow will keep on going, and how it will still lead to the infinite darkness...with no end at ALL!!

If you can't understand what I'm saying, I'll put it to you this way: I keep thinking that if time is an illusion, and only the present exists, then everything will end, and the void of darkness takes everything over, as forever is not as BEYOND AS THAT!!

I may sound like I'm crazy, but I still don't want to think about this. I know I'm over thinking and mid-understanding time, but this still drives me crazy. It's hard to set your mind to the present if these thoughts keep occurring to me.

Please, can someone help?

As mentioned above, if Einstein and Hawking hadn't grown up thinking about this we wouldn't have made it into space at all.  As I said before when you wrote about the exact same thing, if Einstein is right, time is just curved space, so everything that ever happened is happening right now and everything that will happen is happening right now, just not in our ripple of space.  Your problem isn't that you think about such things, it's that it bothers you to think about such things. That's what you need to address.

Sorry, but I flunked algebra and what you're asking needs to be discussed, and debated, with a physicist. Or MANY physicists, since even they can't agree on much of anything.

Perhaps you could take a class in physics. You'd probably find it enlightening and for sure there would be some lively debates.

And you are NOT crazy! You are pondering questions that hundreds of extremely great minds have been asking for centuries. There are far too many to list, but here are just a few.....you're in good company.

Albert Einstein.
Stephen Hawking
Neils Bohr
Isaac Newton .
NikolaTesla_
Galilee Galileo
Marie Curie
Robert Hooke
Richard Feynman
Max Planck
Erwin Schrodinger
