In the Beginning

I don't think so. Concerning creation, the beginning is contrasted with something without beginning or end. That's my take anyway.
so then could a beginning be understood as an endless forming, or formless something being in contrast to a formed something, and understood as in the beginning.
john 1:1
like a word in juxtoposition to silence?

Yes, because the Bible's God existed ' before ' the beginning of anything else as per Psalms 90:2.
God is from everlasting to everlasting meaning No beginning and No ending.
Kind of like we can count numbers both forwards and backwards forever and ever without stopping.
Not sure, although I think a word opposed to silence gets at the idea. I think of time as opposed to eternity like that.
recently they posted that time flows both backwards and forwards in the quantum state.
In the quantum realm, not even time flows as you might expect: New study shows the boundary between time moving forward and backward may blur in quantum mechanics
A word in connection to silence: a vacuum ?
I find the Bible's God is 'before ' the beginning (Psalms 90:2) then God was Not 'in' the beginning as Jesus was because God was ' before ' the beginning of everything.- Revelation 4:11
when everything vibrates at the same level, there is no contrast of this vs that; so there is no sound of silence and otherness.
Since sound does Not travel through a vacuum does it vibrate ____________
Vibrations of Spacetime
The sounds of the cosmos are not the familiar sounds our ears sense, carried by vibrations in air. Space is a near-perfect vacuum, and ordinary sound carries only where there is matter to vibrate. That's one reason why our immediate knowledge of the universe far away from the solar system, from prescientific astronomy up to now, comes almost entirely from studying one form of energy: light. As James Clerk Maxwell showed in the 19th century, light is another name for vibrations in electrical and magnetic fields that travel through space—at the speed of light.
