Check out the books by Stephen Hawking, they can help explain and give GREAT insight into topics such as this... Hawking was one of the original scientists to form the idea of a big bang theory for creation... When he was introducing his theory it was met by most in his field w/ a lot of skepticism... He hits on topics concerning the big bang, the expansion of the universe, black holes (and how time travel relates to black holes)....

A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking

The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe - Stephen Hawking

The Universe in a Nutshell - Stephen Hawking
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/055380202X/ref=pd_bxgy_text_1/002-2965800-6663220?v=glance&s=books&st=*

I would suggest The Universe in a Nutshell... It's the most difficult read out of all of the following books, but Hawking hits on some of the most complicated and deep ideas that he has been dealing with...

My ideas of the space/time continuum come mainly from the ideas of Stephen Hawking... What he does is point out the mathematical truthfulness of his theories, and then goes through line by line, explaining in as plain of English as possible, how it is exactly that his theory can hold true...

And, I didn't consider that my way of thinking about the space/time continuum was the most logical... ;D I figured most people still went with the whole Back to the Future approach, that you can effect things in your present but still in the end make it back to the original present time with everything falling back into it's place...  :) ... Time travel in and of it self is perfectly logical (at least I don't presuppose it to be illogical), but when you really delve into it, the can of worms you wind up opening can be completely mind boggling (though I am hesitant to say illogical; illogical would be to say causality no longer as any kind of effect on any matter ever again...  The notion that cause has no effect, that is illogical; but all the parts for time travel, and the notions of the space/time continuum are there, and mathematically equal up... But I guess the real problem is that the proof is in the pudding... And no one has been able to see the pudding...

I just typed this after only getting 2 hours of sleep before work and classes, so if it stubbles or seems to fall off somewhere, just bare with me...  :)

*yawn*
