In the beginning there was no time

Time is nothing but a measure of the changing positions of objects in space. A year is a measure of the movement of the earth round the sun. A day is the revolving of the earth on its axis.

As any scientist, mystic or other person knows, in the beginning there were no objects in space. Hence, in the beginning, there was no time.

Despite the initial absence of matter, space and time, something must have happened to get everything started, something must have happened before there was anything.

Since there was no-thing when something first happened, it might make sense to say that this first happening was more like a mental event than a physical event.

(from Jonathan Black, The secret history of the world, Chapter 1)
