ok i havnt figured out where the "quote" button is on this site so just to let you know im aiming this one at johny
how do i know time is infinite?
ok i'll try to explain (i normally need to be mildly drunk to explain this one)
1. the universe had a begining...because you cant have something without having nothing first.
2. do not think of time as woven into the fabric of space...you can think of it as a 4th dimention but you must first realise the universe in one dimention and then time on 2 dimentions. yes 2 dimentions...back-forwards.....and of course sideway's.
3. just like the unvierse is as big as you measure it...so is time. (in a way) see as far as we know time could stop and pause for a million years every second, we would be none the wiser....
think of reality as a paice of music....the notes are the time that we can sence, feel, and understand....but when there is a rest...there is no note (no time in this metaphor) but there is no time- for a spcific length of time.
now pull back....and imagine the standing outside the concert hall waiting for your mates to arive so you can all go in together as simply more rests...but at the begining of the piece of music.... you could put as many rests at the begining of this peice of music as you want...
and if you consider the universe as one peice of music....you can put an infinite amount of rests before the first note...and it wouldnt affect the music....because there is no music yet...only silence..an eternal one
yes i simplified chaos theory quite a bit....so sue me.
as for the coin flip....well chances are that after 100 flips you'll get a bell curve and the diferances are likely to be 49% 51%.
statistacialy the more flips you do the closer you will get to bang on 50 50
and the nothing before something...well thats a philisophical point im in no way getting into now....lets just stick with time theory
