Time is how we measure the expansion of the universe. It’s how we reference what happened next. Although the equations using time work equally well in reverse we have never witnessed time moving backwards.This topic is very interesting.The evolution of intelligence was preordained through the laws of nature before space and time existed.
However, your point has a huge technical error: physically time doesn't exist.
Regardless of the claims made by a theory invented in 1905 saying that time not only exists but that also "dilates", the sure fact is that time is nothing but a measure, same as weight, volume, etc.
Even the god of the bible specified the meaning of time. This biblical god related time as a measure. Genesis 1:4
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
God taught Adam to use the regular (fixed) motion of the celestial bodies (including our planet's rotation) to be compared with the changes of weather and also compared against our actions.
And this is exactly what we continue doing today. With obtain time data by comparing the rotation of earth against our trip from New York to Florida. We concluded it took a day and a half driving, taking breaks, hotel, meals, etc. When you celebrated your 18th birthday, in reality you just have celebrated your 18th complete round trip around the Sun.
That's all, time never "moves or flows", never "passes thru", never "dilates".
Those theories of flowing time come from a conventional idea, nothing scientific but solely an illusion to which many people have felt without knowing it.
And don't trust the pieces of paper "proving" time dilates, because formulas and equations are very easy to manipulate in order to obtain the result they want to obtain.
Even when using the atomic clock, we are just comparing the vibration frequency of the atom of Cesium against the motion or decay of other bodies.
Then, the biblical god never invented a "physical time" but solely taught man how to obtain time data by comparing the motion of bodies.
It is a must for you to understand that in science the theories are just attempts to explain the process of a phenomenon as caused by a former phenomenon. This is what a theory is about, an "explanation".
Without a physical existing time, how it comes that it will dilate? That is the ten million dollars question.
On the other hand, laws appear continually accordingly to the status. This is to say, when the world had no motor vehicles, then the traffic laws were about horses, wagons, etc. When motor cars appeared, then new laws were made and many former laws became obsolete.
Having that in a very beginning it was no universe, then no laws of physics were in existence.
I know some orthodox religious authorities argue that the Torah -with its laws- was created before the universe, but one can easily reject such ideas because the Torah shows us examples of cases of trial and error made by the god of the bible.
In the book of Proverbs 8 "wisdom" is portrayed to exist before the universe, an idea which fits greatly with the insight giving by you in this topic.
Just notice that it says "wisdom" and not so "laws". Wisdom was first to create the universe, laws appeared later on when the universe started to work.
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and I find knowledge and discretion...
22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work,
the first of his acts of old.
23 Ages ago I was set up,
at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
31 rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man.
But how is time not technically existing a huge problem for me?
I can just as easily substitute given enough expansion of the universe for time. Such that given enough expansion of the universe and the right conditions, beings that know and create will eventually arise.
