Is Time Truly Infinite or Does It Have a Natural Limit?

Click For Summary
The discussion explores the concept of time as a finite dimension, suggesting that time began with the possibility of change and is inherently linked to quantum states and energy. It posits that the universe has a natural limit on time due to the finite amount of energy available, as defined by Planck's minima, which restricts the number of possible quantum states. The idea of "Grand Symmetry" is introduced, where the universe transitions between states of concentrated energy and uniform energy distribution, potentially leading to cyclical big bangs. The conversation also touches on the implications of quantum entanglement and the nature of time, suggesting that time may not exist uniformly across different locations or states. Ultimately, the thread raises profound questions about the relationship between time, energy, and the universe's structure.

nothing is perfect
in the space where nothing exists
will one find perfection
the perfect nothing


In the beginning, there was nothing and no possibility of change. How long this state lasted is a misleading question for without the possibility of change there can be no time, since time implies both 'before' and 'after'. Since there was no possibility of change, nothing can, or did happen.

time existed even though nothing changed and still it passed but nothing happened until something did and space was created making time relative to space...

...space then is something, even empty space is something compared to what was before

time then would be the first dimension, then at some point in time there was a tear between two points and suddenly it ripped forth into a sphere...

...I like the smoke too :-p
