The flip side would be that we percieve it incredibly slow because we are witnessing things moving slower now than how fast they'd move if you fast forward through those billions of years in five minutes. (If I further confused you, I'm sorry, it's not an important point to make)I maybe understand what your saying. Are you suggesting that to percieve the universe as it is now, we have percieve it from its beginning to now? If this is what you claim, I have to disagree. There is nothing I'm aware of that suggest this.
Quote:Also, I agree any fixed number into a billion it wouldn't be zero. But rather its the effect that I would think of it as zero. In other words, the fact that we discovered space, a system that runs on a timeline greater than our own, makes me wonder if there's another system that our universe, as we understand it, works under. One whose timeline is on an even grander scale. Then what holds that system, and so on and so on.Space's timeline and our timeline are not two different things. Space and us are in the same timeline. We are just born later and die earlier while space continues on existing.
Quote:If that's too "out-there" what about the fact that if life was suddenly wiped off the planet, the universe will continue to go on. And on. And on. And maybe the universe does "die", what happens to time after that? Does it continue to go on? If so you've got an infinity there too.As far as I know, time will continue to exist to infinity.
