It all comes from the folly of thinking of "time" like another spacial dimension, in which we're stuck moving one-way. Time is not a spacial dimension, in any way. Time is just a measurement of the order things happen in. Things move... if time was just another dimension, everything would have to just be.
Actual time is not as we humans interpret it: such as 1 O'clock or 5:16 PM...but you are correct that the concept of time is relative to spacial qualities of matter, and anything that moves through space is also moving through time.
Time is an all encompassing factor, one that exists in an instant. So what you get is the Big Bang existing at the same time as everything else. The Big Bang is still banging away...infinitely so. If it wasn't for the multi-spacial fabric in which we exist, all there would be is a blur of energy, like a giant White Hole. But because of the reflective principal of space and time, the energy from the Big Bang (s) can be contained within quantum reservoirs.
The Big Bang itself was never Big and it was definitely NOT a Bang. It was a small release of energy that was reflected throughout the Universe/Multiverse all at the same time, that is the only thing that makes it Big is this infinite reflecting principle. Each
Impulse Event (which science has wrongly named the Big Bang) happens instantaneously at the same time at an equidistant location from each other and never touching, but through expansion and contraction is able to grow and come closer and closer together. Those parts of the Universe that come so close together begin to punch through the Universe via a perceived Black Hole...a
Vacuum.
So our Universe (and the Multiverse) exist via Impulse and Vacuum events. One of which is infinite energy while the other becomes infinite anti-energy or zero-point energy. This is where the principles of
thermodynamics and magnetism begin to make sense.
Think of Space/Time as water. What does water do when it is heated up? It boils and vibrates, so matter is actually at a boiling state of space and time, and these bubbles are actually subatomic particles that slip in and out of our Universe and appear in other Universes instantaneously.
If you heat up water too much, it turns into steam and drifts off. Same thing with matter, if you heat it up, magnetism quits working and matter doesn't hold together and drifts off into Vacuum. And as matter drifts off into Vacuum, it begins to cool down again and the principles of magnetism and thermodynamics come back into play, and matter begins to come together again forming nebulae and new stars and new matter until the density increase so much and the heat from this massive crunch of material comes to light again, then again magnetism fails and matter drifts off through Vacuum (what we call a Black Hole) and enters into another Universe when it begins to cool off again. This process happens over and over and it is a observable model of what the Big Bang was and still is.
This process is not only happening on a Macroscopic scale, but on the Microscopic scale as well.
