And what we       see there is called 'universe', even if that ain't true, because it is       actually our own past light cone.              That 'real deal' is something that we can see, but only from our own       perspective.              The underlying reality seems to be a field, which behaves as if it would       be composed from complex quaternions.              That 'something' is what I call 'spacetime' (of GR).              Now I had written kind of book called 'Structured spacetime' about how I       think, that observetions could eventually emerge, that look exactly like       our universe:              https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ur3_giuk2l439fxUa8QHX4wT       xBEaM6lOlgVUa0cFU4/edit?usp=sharing              Now back to infinity:              This 'real universe' has no time per se, but time is local there only.              Any spot has its own time and that time 'flows' and builds a path, which       we could call 'worldpath' of that spot.              But we could divert from that path and create a new worldline, which       bends away from the old one.              Such worldline can curve (a little) and could eventually curve backwards.              Than we would reach a realm, where time flows into the opposite       direction (compared to the one we started with).              Now: from this would follow, that infinited distances could be traveled,       even if the universe is actually finite.              ...                     TH              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
