What is time?
Time is observation or more precise, the observation in the variation of energy and momentum,
For example
a ----------------> a
b -------> b
a takes the same time as b,
from observing this, one would naturally say that a is therefore faster than b, and they would be right, however what is it meant by 'faster'? what makes speed?
Answer: energy. Where a and b are going does not matter at all, position, size, heat and so on are just different properties, the cause of this change is energy and the difference in energy, momentum and its forces is what we measure with time.
And likewise to think of space before time we must think of nothing, or to put it another way, 'nothing happening', no moving, no forming or evolving and so on, i.e. 'no energy' so no energy means no time.
If we can just think of space and everything in it having maximal energy, then everything from the big bang to the debatable ending of the universe would happen instantly, but as we know not everything has an infinite amount of energy so different things have different energy levels thus time is created in the gaps. To put it another way if there was no such thing as time, there would be no difference in observing the creation of our sun to the lapse in ticks on a clock in fact talking of clocks, no time would mean the minute hand and the hour hand would be the same, this is where it gets tricky, if there was no time and I'm specking of no time now, as in the world as we know it having no time, so that the momentum of energy still existing but the time not, would the clocks not function, or would the infinite time that a clock could count happen in an instant? I guess the conclusion here, if there is one, is that the time before the big bang, even if infinite, would be instant.
