The concept of imaginary time surfaced in physics as an integral part of several of our most advanced understandings of the cosmos. Unfortunately it is very much a reality still today that the works of the really great spirits in science, such as Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, and Stephen Hawking, and their most fundamental conclusions about the universe, remain unappreciated, even unnoticed in their own time by the majority of scientists. These three giants all made very similar conclusions regarding the timelessness of the Universe, yet even today the study of timelessness is overlooked, partly in avoidance of its profundity. With a special giftedness that penetrates beyond such obstacles and boundaries, Hawking has begun to awaken science to the world beyond time.
Stephen Hawking and the No Boundary Proposal
The no boundary proposal has been around for quite some time now, and in some ways it seems to relate to the concept of forever that's been around for hundreds or thousands of years.
It's a theory that appears to shed light on imaginary time if it exists, giving it a finite extent.
Any comments?
