Can anyone speak to the Physics of the Ainulindale?

[Amarie of the Vanyar]

Finwe, Time was created with Eä, Time didn't exist before Eä was created by Eru [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

(when the Valar entered into Eä ...) but they had entered in at the beggining of Time
Ainulindalë; The Silmarillion

The Timeles Halls are so called because there it is no Time, not even a 'slower time'. In Big Bang theories, Time is also created with the Universe, it didn't exist before the Big Bang (of course, in this case 'before' is not the correct word, because it implies precedence in time and it is meaningless if time does not exist, but I hope you understand what I mean).

The no existance of time 'before' Eä is created poses a new question: how it is possible to sing without time? Music, at least, the kind of music we can understand, needs time to be produced. In my opinion, a possible explanation for this paradox would be to think that the Music was not only sang before Eä was created, but that it is being sung during all the history of Eä [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
