Sting

Hmm. I imagined the Music as the big bang, and the universe being created thereof. I saw the universe being created as the Music was sung, and then the Valar were to go in and introduce matter and such.

Quote:
The Ainur did there singing "beyond the confines of the World." Then when they "entered into [the material universe]... naught was yet made."
So what I'm saying is how long did it take them to make and shape the matter into the world. The Music [we are suggesting] created the Universe [with nothing in it, granted] or perhaps just that original speck that was to expand to become the universe.

So my question is still thus, how long did it take the Valar to make and shape after they entered into the now [appropriately named] material universe?
