The concept of Timelesness is where the the new Quantum Theorists and the Spiritualists are finding common ground. In Eternity !<br \/>\nNow Neil Toruk, proffesor of applied mathematics and theoretical physics at cambridge university has expounded that there was no single Big Bang. But millions of them. But Toruk goes further, as the London Times reported :<br \/>\n&#8220;If Toruk and his colleagues are right it would mean that &#8220;Time, Matter and Energy have always existed, and always will&#8221;. There is no singular point in time where we can say that he Universe was born.  So there was no begining of Time and no end. Time therefore cannot travel in one straight linear line.<br \/>\nSo welcome to Eternity. The search for a &#8216;begining&#8217; and an &#8216;end&#8217; to all things is just part of our attempt to reduce the universe to something that can be contained within our limited comprehensions. If nothing ever began, then how could it end ?<br \/>\nThe Universe is just infinite eternal potential. Where all possibilities exist, have always existed and will forever exist.. and the  the non-possibilities to these events also exist. The Universe is an infinite idea, of infinite potential and infinite possibilities.<br \/>\nShekhar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have always struggled with the idea of the Universe actually having a &#8216;begining&#8217; with the Big Bang and therefore by inference an &#8216;end&#8217; &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-search-for-the-self"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
