Again the notion of beginning and end has no meaning in the Universe because time varies with mass and speed. The further away you are from every point the faster an object is moving; the 'edge' of the universe is travelling at nearly the speed of light where time ceases and as I stated earlier time apparently didn't 'start' until
after the big bang.
If you want to know all about it read Stephen Hawking's
"Brief History of Time" it explains it very well. I read pages one and two twenty times and by page four had lost the will to live, you get a complete understanding of the slowing of time and its variability quarter way down page three.
