It doesn't tell us when Hammer Time or Peanut Butter Jelly Time or Owl Stretching Time or Howdy Doody Time or Planck time are .
Posted by: Katharine | October 14, 2009 10:44 PM
(I am aware that Planck time is a unit .)

But doesn't time itself need a bit of space, some elbow room, in order to make time????
Oh,and was there time before the Big Bang?

Charles,
Phil Plait couldn't answer that last question either. None of us can. Yet. Anyone who says they can, is trying to sell something.

Hey! Don't mock the site, I've used it when I've had to if we are currently on standard time or daylight savings time so put the right embargo time on stuff.
