    Lightbulb a word or maybe an expression?

    My plot for a short story is about the Big Bang plot and how a particular planet unfolds.
    I need a word to match the concept of timeless or zoneless
    Two questions came up about the story I may set up

    The first point is this:

    what time did big bang go on?
    The answer to this is blown in the wind because no one knows what time did big bang actually go off.
    I have the word 'timeless' to back my story so I do not have to worry about the specifics of the time of the big bang in the story.


    My second point is this:

    Which part of the day did bing bang go off? Daytime/nightime/midnightime/ ??
    I won't be able to describe nor to pin point this detail in the story because and no one knows the answer to the question.,
    So the word I am looking for is a similar word to timelessto indicate that it was neither night time daytime.
    Basically word or an expression that means both daytime and nightime.
    so going through the list
    sunrise
    sunset
    .......
    Is there a word/expression for it?

    here is my opening lines:
    a a sound chirped through the air at an amasing circular pace trapped in billions of particles of lights colours and hydroxygene. It got transported intransigently across then new heights. A planet ahead was rising. It happened in a shere moment, within a timeless,zoneless and____________ spot.
    I am missing a word here.

    It's likely that you require more knowledge on the subject of the Big Bang. I have some sources for you, but I think that you should make certain to have many sources for verifiability of the information.

    Additionally, I'm not certain 'timeless' is the word you are looking for, or any of its synonyms.

    I'm not really certain where you're going with this short story, so it's difficult to help you find the word you're looking for. If you'd like, you can send me a PM with a sample, and I can look further into it, and try to help find ways to show what you're describing.

    Take a look at this brief summary of what the Big Bang Theory actually postulates.

    Quote Originally Posted by Wikipedia.org

    According to the Big Bang theory, the Universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state which expanded rapidly. This rapid expansion caused the young Universe to cool and resulted in its present continuously expanding state. According to the most recent measurements and observations, this original state existed approximately 13.7 billion years ago,[2][3] which is considered the age of the Universe and the time the Big Bang occurred.[4][5]

    After its initial expansion from a singularity, the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow energy to be converted into various subatomic particles. It would take thousands of years for some of these particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) to combine and form atoms, the building blocks of matter.

    The first element produced was hydrogen, along with traces of helium and lithium. Eventually, clouds of hydrogen would coalesce through gravity to form stars, and the heavier elements would be synthesized either within stars or during supernovae.'
    So, you might want to start with atoms, the building blocks of matter. That's where planets began. Tiny little protons, neutrons and electrons all coming together to form the different elements. A microcosm that expands into a great macrocosm.

    Basically it is a word that is a combination of
    night and day like a fusion of light and dark lights.

    that means both nighteless and dayeless such as timeless

    The thing is, our concepts of night and day come from the planet spinning itself into and out of sunlight. You're talking about a time long before there were suns or planets.

    Those were the times of the void, the steady difficulty prior to the explosion above the Lucassian chair of mathematics at Cambridge.
