Just as ocean currents (sorry for bringing this up again, but it's the only way I can make sense of all this 'stuff.) are influenced by the interplay of sea floor topography, surface winds, and gravity, the flow of time is shaped by the combined effects of gravity and motion, creating a non-uniform experience of time similar to the varying flow patterns in different parts of the ocean. Light is also influenced by gravity through the curvature of space, as well as by the motion of its source, such as how fast the source is moving away from an observer. Space itself, according to the theory of relativity, is intertwined with time, expanding faster than the speed of light and affected by unknown phenomena we've named dark matter and dark energy. I wager that if we had a big enough measuring stick, we could actually measure my p.... it all.
It seems there is an underlying principle at work here, as these phenomena all share the characteristic of being influenced by various factors that are constantly interacting, likely in predictable ways if we could measure my p.... everything.
From the perspective of block theory, where all points in time exist simultaneously within a four-dimensional spacetime, the Big Bang wasn't an explosive event originating from a singularity. Instead, it can be seen as an initial condition or boundary in the spacetime continuum, resulting from an indirect effect, much like how vacuums influence objects or how the Sun generates heat without being 'on fire.'
A singularity, as proposed by the Big Bang theory, seems to require us to believe that a state devoid of any physical, energetic, or spatial entities somehow gave rise to the physical, energetic, and spatial existence we observe today, all on its own. There's absolutely nothing—pun intended—that even remotely compares to this in any scientific observation. Not even in quantum mechanics/physics do particles arise from an absolute void. To me, it's no better than the 'let there be light' theory.
For now though, the Big Bang theory is the best explanation we have, that aligns with current observations if you want to avoid tons of conjecture.
