Ah! time I like time discussions... big issue time..

Lineal time may just be an illusion or even an allusion..
If eternity future is possible Occams Razor demands an eternity past..
If so, so much for the Big Bang!..

The Big Bang is a good yarn... no way to prove any of that.. (for sure)..
But it is very entertaining..

Multi-dimensions even Multi-Universes plays into all that..
Even multi-GoDs or no God at all... all extremely entertaining..

Science fiction must be logical and entertaining else whats the point..
Reality however need not be logical at all....
And I don’t see how time must be linear...

I like to entertain ideas about time.

I saw a show with some smart guy that suggested that time was an illusion. We are living in what I can only describe as “slices of space”.

Entertaining indeed, and hard to get your head around.

I’m not suggesting that I believe this. But as a thought experiment it can get interesting.

From my perspective, the only way time can be an illusion is if our entire universe is moving at or very near the speed of light.

There is of course no way to prove this.

BTW, I think evoking Occam’s razor at this stage is premature.
