(9,137 posts)are based on some philosophical/metaphysical presumptions - if they are good theories and conscious and open about the premisses of the theory. Especially about the notion(s) of time. Cf. notion of time (and space) in
1) Newton's theory,
2) General Relativity,
3) Quantum Mechanics (and various interpretations of).
And in the field of various GUTs and TOEs (sic - anthropon metron panton?! ) where the questions about basic assumptions becames even more open and critical field. For example, a very important and critical distinction is between psychological (entropic?) time and various theory dependent geometric times, and the question about relation between those. "Time having a definite starting point" is just one theory dependent notion of time among many, or a premisse that easily becomes the proverbial hammer that considers everything a nail.
