Lots of questions.

In any case, even if the universe had a beginning (from a big bang, or a creator God), there is still the question of what happened before creation. And the question of what will happen in the future--as in, what is the end of time? What is the nature of infinity?

Even if the universe, aa Hindis put it, repeats itself, there is still the question of how and when that repetition began, or at least the nature of infinity.

All matter in the universe could become nonexistant. And light and energy would dissapate 100%. But what would be left? Nothing. But what is nothing? It is the absense of matter and energy and anything else of substance. But am I assuming that substance and things of being have to be subject to observation in order to truly exist?

Time could go on. Forever. But what's at the end of eternity? How can time stretch out backwards and forwards? We can comprehend the nature of a regular rubber band, or a regular line, with beginning and end. But what about a line that stretches out forever in both directions? Is this even really possible? Is our experience or capatity to comprehend this too limited to answer this question?

And Physicists out there who can help with this?

God? You out there?
:(
I think it's time to increase my reading load in physics.
