A- I did not find (after searching) where the discussion (if there is one) on this. If before the creation of the world there was no concept of time, then how is it appropriate to say that the world was not as ancient as it was before, since it is not appropriate to say that it was created after it because there was no time yet?
In - and also or actually because of the method of innovation, so why did He suddenly decide to create the world and not create it before (I was unable to formulate it in accordance with the fact that there was no time then, but I hope you understood) after all, there is no change of will in Him, certainly not when there is no world (When I asked in the past why He decided to give the Torah at a specific time, you answered me that the Creator understood that now the world was suitable for it, but what is the answer here?)
thanks

A- Who said it belongs?
In - This is only if there was indeed a previous time. But even if there really was, this question has been asked here several times. My answer is that a change of will is not really a change. It was basically that He creates the world at a time that is ripe for it from His own considerations. The divine will is defined over the entire axis of time and not at each point separately. It was basically His will: that there be a vacuum and at some time a universe will be created. Beyond that, who told you that a change of will does not belong to it?

Time is a creation, and it's like taking a photo album and making a movie out of it. Anyone who has already seen the entire album already knows what will happen at the end of the movie, but time hasn't reached that point yet. At the singular point, time is created - a creation that allows natural processes to happen - but without time, the world has always been and has always not been, even when the world is destroyed and disappears. More precisely, dark matter will grow and the particles will disintegrate. Time will allow this to happen, but the world will still be and will not be in terms of substance without the intervention of time.

To the young Moti
Your answer (which I won't pretend to understand) doesn't seem to me to align with Rabbi Michai (not that I said it interests you) (I don't know how knowledgeable you are in his Torah, I'm only knowledgeable from his website and his debates), because he seems to believe that time is not a creation of the Creator, but rather like the laws of logic, which Rabbi Michai believes are not laws, and were not invented by the Creator, and therefore he too is subject to them.

A really interesting point that I didn't expand on regarding the relationship to the Creator on the subject, but in any case, for me the Creator is the code of the DNA and the cosmic system and the laws of nature.
