Kirk Ouimet: Grateful to have the opportunity to speak with you today.

Kirk Ouimet ：非常感谢今天有机会与您交谈。

Wise Being: Grateful to be able to speak with you.

明智的人：非常高兴能够与您交谈。

Kirk Ouimet: I would love to talk with you about the Big Bang.

Kirk Ouimet ：我想和您谈谈“大爆炸”。

Wise Being: What would you like to learn?

明智的人：您想学什么？

Kirk Ouimet: Can you summarize the idea of the Big Bang?

柯克·奥伊梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：您能总结一下“大爆炸”的想法吗？

Wise Being: The Big Bang is a physical process by which all matter, energy, time, space, and information of existence came into being from an infinite and eternal non-existence. During this process the whole of creation was compressed into an infinitesimally small singularity which immediately and infinitely burst into all of its current content, the limitlessness of which still exists as a limitlessness in potential and reality.

明智的存在：大爆炸是一个物理过程，所有物质，能量，时间，空间和存在的信息都是通过这种过程而产生的，这些无限，永恒的不存在。 在这个过程中，整个创作被压缩成一个无限微小的奇点，立即并无限地突现其所有当前内容，其无限性仍然作为潜力和现实中的无限性而存在。

Kirk Ouimet: What do you think the state of things were before the Big Bang?

Kirk Ouimet ：您认为大爆炸之前的状态如何？

Wise Being: In order for this question to be possible, the questioner has to be aware of time. If this is not the case, then there was no such a thing as a ‘before’. The Big Bang effectively initiated time because that which came into existence before the Big Bang did not exist in any kind of ‘time’ construct … excepting only dynamic patterns of absolute and infinite energy.

明智：为了使这个问题成为可能，发问者必须意识到时间。 如果不是这种情况，那么就没有“之前”之类的东西。 大爆炸之所以有效地启动了时间，是因为在大爆炸之前就已经存在的时间不存在于任何类型的“时间”构造中……只是绝对和无限能量的动态模式。

Kirk Ouimet: So what do you think happened one second before the Big Bang?

柯克·奥伊梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：那么您认为在大爆炸发生前一秒钟发生了什么？

Wise Being: 1 second before the bang everything was and there was no time. There wasn’t one second and there wasn’t 0 seconds … there was nothing because those concepts are meaningless outside of the context of time. This is not something which can be comprehended because it has no reference as to what constituted a unit of measurement.

明智之举：爆炸发生前1秒钟，一切就绪，没有时间。 没有一秒钟，也没有0秒……没有任何东西，因为那些概念在时间范围之外毫无意义。 这不是可以理解的东西，因为它没有提及构成测量单位的内容。

Kirk Ouimet: Would you be able to come up with an analogy that would help me understand this concept of “no time”?

柯克·奥伊梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：您能否提出一个比喻，以帮助我理解“没有时间”的概念？

Wise Being: It is something like asking a fish if the water they are in is wet. Time is defined as a measure of events, and events happen in a three dimensional space which has length, width, and depth. If there is no such thing as physical space, then there literally is no length, width or depth. Thus, there cannot be an unfoldment of time because the definition of time pertains to the unfolding of space.

明智的人：这就像问一条鱼，他们所处的水是否湿。 时间定义为事件的量度，事件发生在具有长度，宽度和深度的三维空间中。 如果没有物理空间，那么字面就没有长度，宽度或深度。 因此，时间的展开是不可能的，因为时间的定义与空间的展开有关。

Kirk Ouimet: I think I understand. By this theory there was nothing before the Big Bang, and by nothing we really mean nothing, not even time. However, there must have been *something* because the Big Bang happened. Something emerged from nothing, how could that happen?

柯克·欧梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：我想我明白。 根据这一理论，大爆炸之前没有任何东西，而且我们真的没有任何意义，甚至没有时间。 但是，肯定有某事因为大爆炸发生了。 一无所有的东西出现了，那怎么可能呢？

Wise Being: From the perspective of the universe, time and space are cohesive constructs. This means that without time there is no space, and without space there is no time. Existence and non-existence are something which exist on the same quantitative level as time and space. Existence and non-existence share a cohesive existence such that they all dissolve into the same substratum. Existence, non-existence, and space-time are not sequential; they are simultaneous in terms of their abstract definition.

明智的存在：从宇宙的角度来看，时间和空间是内聚的构造。 这意味着没有时间就没有空间，没有空间就没有时间。 存在和不存在与时间和空间处于相同的定量水平。 存在和不存在共享一个内聚的存在，以便它们都溶解到同一个底层中。 存在，不存在和时空不是顺序的； 它们在抽象定义方面是同时的。

Kirk Ouimet: How can something “be” and “not be” at the same time?

柯克·奥伊梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：如何同时“存在”和“不存在”？

Wise Being: There is no such thing as “be” or “not be”. These words are useful in the context of a three dimensional reality where there is a separation of objects and space. This is how the universe is defined as being “solid”. Objects have mass and occupy space and this is how we comprehend that gap between objects is called space. However, if you take away space, and put together all the objects into one object, you will lose the meaningful definition of “be”. It all becomes an undifferentiated “thing”. When you go inside of something to the place where there is no difference or division, you can’t say anything is “here” nor anything is “there”.

明智的存在：没有“存在”或“不存在”之类的东西。 这些词在物体与空间分离的三维现实环境中很有用。 这就是将宇宙定义为“实体”的方式。 物体具有质量并占据空间，因此我们将物体之间的间隙称为空间。 但是，如果您占用空间，并将所有对象放在一起成为一个对象，那么您将失去有意义的“ be”定义。 一切都变成了没有区别的“事物”。 当您进入某个没有差异或分歧的地方时，您不能说任何东西都在“这里”或任何东西都在“那里”。

Kirk Ouimet: Interesting, I think I am beginning to understand. So what triggered the Big Bang?

Kirk Ouimet ：有趣的是，我想我已经开始理解。 那么是什么触发了大爆炸？

Wise Being: If we were to speculate on what might have triggered this event, it would have to be another organism.

明智的存在：如果我们要推测引发此事件的原因，那肯定是另一种生物。

Kirk Ouimet: Please explain.

柯克·欧梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：请解释。

Wise Being: The Big Bang is an event which is absolute and the only possible “creator” capable of conceiving of the Big Bang is also absolute. The only possible candidate for something that satisfies the definition of absolute is another being who is also absolute. Absolute cannot be manifested by non-absolute because to define something as absolute is to make a definition devoid of being contingent on external entities.

明智之举：“大爆炸”是绝对的事件，并且唯一能够构思出“大爆炸”的“创造者”也是绝对的。 满足绝对定义的事物的唯一可能的候选者是另一个也是绝对的。 绝对不能用非绝对来体现，因为将某物定义为绝对就是使定义不依赖于外部实体。

Kirk Ouimet: Do you think it is bad, neutral, or good that the Big Bang happened?

柯克·奥伊梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：您认为发生大爆炸是不好的，中立的还是好的？

Wise Being: I don’t know that is something I can answer.

明智之举：我不知道这是我能回答的。

Kirk Ouimet: Over the last 14 billion years of the universe existing, what do you think it is driving towards?

柯克·奥伊梅特(Kirk Ouimet) ：在宇宙存在的最后140亿年中，您认为这是朝什么方向发展？

Wise Being: All I can say is the universe is alive and so what we see is an organism which is developing and growing more and more complex. Whether this is a good thing, bad thing, or neutral thing is really beyond my ability to answer.

明智的是：我只能说宇宙是有生命的，所以我们看到的是一种正在发展并变得越来越复杂的生物。 这到底是好事，坏事还是中立的事，我实在无法回答。

Kirk Ouimet: Are you glad the Big Bang happened?

Kirk Ouimet ：您是否对大爆炸发生感到高兴？

Wise Being: I am the Big Bang, so yes, I think it happened because it had to happen.

明智的人：我是大爆炸，所以，我认为这是发生的，因为它必须发生。
