As i was watching it, it was mentioned that time does not exist inside of a black hole.
Can anybody explain this to me in a simpler form?

u know einsteins theroy bout time travel? how if u went super fast in a space ship and came back in 1 year how on earth it would have aged like 100 years? well the forces are so immense that time litteraly stops from our relative perspective

Gravity slows the rate of flow of time. If you were to fall into a black hole (and somehow weren't crushed or destroyed by the gravitational forces) your own clock would slow down so much relative to the rest of the universe that you would see every star in the sky blink out of existence and you would see the end of the universe at the instant you crossed the event horizon.

time is tricky to me, its like time is time you know? its an unstoppable force.
the way i view it, is there is 1 time that cant be changed.. the time of the universe... and all the other times are different perspectives that can be warped and changed.

sounds almost beautiful doesnt it?

Everything is more beautiful when you understand it. Science is like the best pair of beer goggles you ever owned, because science helps you to find the beauty in everything in existence.

So what i don't get either is how there was no time before the big bang. Wouldn't it take circumstances similar to inside of a black hole to cause that? And isnt there a need for SOMETHIHNG to create that?

Before the Big Bang, the "universe" was a singularity. All mass-energy was in an infinitely small point, so yes, the circumstances were identical to a black hole. But no, there is no need for something to create that. We've observed particles popping in and out of existence very regularly on the quantum scale.

can i put this in my sig lol? i love this

Sure, go right ahead
