    When I was in 10th grade I read his book "Time Travel in Einstein's Universe" (J. Richard Gott), and was absolutely blow away. It took me a few read throughs to really grasp it. I remember asking one of our physics teachers about it. I said "Hey, I'm kind of confused about these cosmic strings, I don't quite understand what these are exactly." and he just replied "You aren't supposed to" and walked away. Me and my friends just lost it laughing. He noped out of that conversation so fast. ahh.. good memories.

      We are advancing towards the past for we come from the source of all universes, the Great Conscious Void. In this way it is said in the Great Book of Life that the beginning of all beginnings is the end of all ends. Thus looping in this way the multiuniverse becomes more and more paradisical. Eisher aisher eisher and Alif Laam Meem are letters only God knew the meaning. Eisher is Jesus aisher when he is not there and eisher is when he returns as Ailf Laam Meem.

      I'm starting to believe that it is not necessary to be concerned about time or other factors that humans possess. We've learned by nature that everything has a beginning and an end because of death & other things. However, we overlook the big pic that even on earth, everything cycles over & over infinitely as far as we know. Forget expansion & theory. The earth and space/matter is a repetitive cycle by large so why apply our small minded physics and principles to such a large scale..for what? Bragging rights? Clever conversation? Material for education? There's no pattern. There's no alpha or omega. The universe, it is obviously bigger than size itself. There are no and is no limits. We may just be the tiniest atoms or particles of something much bigger than we're able to imagine. Our universe of billions of galaxies is just the tiny piece of dust on Selena Gomez's little toe and omg would I love to find enough rocket fuel to make it to her perfect lips and smooch her for eternity. Err well her foot is fine I suppose.💗🦶

      I thought of this a couple of nights ago and almost had a crisis lol. Then I threw my hands up and said "f!ck it, that's above my pay scale". I honestly don't know how these scientists don't lose their minds.
      I will be so happy if aliens ever come to earth because it will be their problem then.
      I feel as though there are some things above our comprehension. That's why Jesus said those who labor come unto him, he also said he was feeding us bread because we were not ready for meat.
      He figured we were not ready and just following his simple rules would still get us to the end safely without understanding it all.
      Our brains are not big enough. In our limited understanding things must have a beginning and an end. We cannot even imagine anything beyond that.

      Even I cant understand his full equation and I study theoretical physics. And I'm damn good. I understand about 10% of Hawkins work on both Hawkins radiation, and his origin hypothesis.

      How does the "time loop" get started?
      No matter how many subsequent loops may occur, it starts at a point in the loop.

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz 6 лет назад

      If you go back in time, the future starting point has not yet happened, right? So which is the beginning? More so when I believe we're talking about quantum level stuff, which is weird in many aspects, including the conjecture that "all photons are the same photon" ("all electrons...", whatever), which goes forth and back in time (but goes back through other space, so we don't see it)

    • @LuisAldamiz
      @LuisAldamiz 6 лет назад +1

      "Get started" is a question that does not have meaning in a time loop, only in linear time does. I know it seems paradoxical from our viewpoint, which is trapped in linear time (with only tiny relativistic distortions at most) and in which causality is important and "logical" (causal) but in a time loop causality must be circular
      ... and in a universe with an inverted arrow of time, what for us is the future, for them is the past: there's no particular reason why time must be "vectorized" as it is in our universe. In fact the role of space and time gets reversed inside black holes, where the space is the one "vectorized" (towards the singularity), so everything towards the event horizon is always sort-of-past (but in space). It's very weird, I don't even have the proper words nor the understanding, just a general idea, but time is not at all different from space ultimately, so there's no particular reason why it cannot traversed in different direction as ours, making the "future" to be the "past", the "consequence" to be also the "cause".

      @20july1944 6 лет назад

      Luis:
      I assumed you praised Gott because you agreed with him.
      I think Gott is incoherent because a CTC has an initial point like anything else, and I think I see the flaw in his logic: time is *indeed* relative to the observer/experiencer but that means that a CTC doesn't *explain* anything even if it exists.
      From the POV of the "first particle" that goes through the loop *first,* and is joined by 535 times as many the next time, it is *not* a time loop, but a racetrack that the first particle has now negotiated for one complete time.

    People can't still realize that time is not a thing, but a result.
    We have matter, and matter in movement is what we call ''time''. Matter for itself can't be.
    Only when it moves in any direction, generates the ilusion of ''time passing by'' and so then, existing, being.
    Because it moves.
    Stop the matter, and you ''stop'' time. That's hypothetical, you can't do that practically, you are matter in movement also. So no way to stop time and observe it disappear from the equation.
    In theory yes, we are living in the same stop moment of the Big Bang, with the difference that matter moved a lot...but we're in same full stop, eternity, but because of matter in movement, we perceive it as ''time passing'', from back to the future (those two doesn't exist).
    Time is not the speed of light itself. All matter can't move that fast. Only fotons can. But fotons are a part of all the matter.

Well.... okay, it sort of has an end when it splits off to form the main Multiverse Trunk. But it certainly doesn't have a beginning.
      That's because it's circular.

      @Eric Moore Well my friend fortunately this is one question that eventually we will get to know, and find out who was right and who was wrong. What you got to remember is everything you believe is just something some guy told you. At least somebody thought what i believe was important enough to put in one book. I think that you are the one who hasnt put enough thought into this. Anyone who thinks this universe and life araised by chance just dont know the scope of what they are saying. Would think a Intel Core I7 would just materialize by chance if i left a lump of silicon alone for a few billions years . Because there have been lumps of silicon left alone since the beginning of creation and yet no I7 fossils have been found. Then ask yourself how something millions of times more complex materialized by chance. Take life for instance I challenge you find any state of the art lab right now in 2018 that can take non living elements and construct totally from scratch one living cell. Not modify already living material. Not use crispr to inject a mutation into it. You cant because they cant even today. But yet they teach you some rock water soup got stuck by lighting just happened to mix together and make life. Not only that but DNA cant exist outside of a cell nucleus UV is deadly to Genetic material AKA SUNLIGHT so the Cell wall the complete Genetic code with with the correct genes for metabolism, reproduction, and cell processes, and the cell organelle all just formed in the same exact Nano meter at the exact same time not only that spaced just perfectly instantaneously all at once. These things couldn't have evolved because they all must be there at once for life to exist. Maybe Your the dumb one sir well maybe not your just a good sheep lead by blindness or Narcissism to think that nothing greater than yourself exist its almost not you fault. People have just forgot how to think and really look at whats being show to them. All you know is me, I, nothing beyond yourself. You can believe some mentally handicapped guy in a pimp suite if you want dont worry we'll all see in the end If the pimp suite was right. You know the best way to hide the truth distort its meaning and turn it into a lie. Then hide the key and leave it in plain site.

      So please lay down the exact proof and outline for how the universe truly began and The verified proof on how life actually began and prove me wrong I lay that challenge at your feet. If anyone thinks my rock water soup Idea is not what science teaches then I also challenge you to look into abiogenisis. Read for your self the best minds in all of human kind have been able to muster. It is what i just said some chemicals on a sterile proto earth with the horrible conditions for life, bathed in UV and Radiation because there was no Ozone layer yet no life was there to produce the oxygen necessary for 03 to materialize. got stuck by lighting and turned into a living cell. Many men way smarter than you or I have been working on it for all of human existence and yet the only answers we have are this either rock water soup or God. You choose whos crazy now. Prove one word I said wrong I dare you.

      This is simply a lot of complex and useful science, that doesn't explain what caused the world.

It is quite clear, everything is here because of God.

      Even G.R. sure a great theory, but it's interpretations here, are wrong. The fact is I can embed G.R. space into eucludean flat space. And in that space the moon "knows" just where to move and curve, making choice. Just the same, you can choose to say well the moon just curves and what not for no reason (curved space) or say, we just don't know yet. How information, not photon, completely undetectable, transmits to massive bodies. Gravity waves, okay, but in what? How well do we know what a space is? Only from the vacuums technology allows us to achieve. Voyager ventures further then the planets, Sun, and mass in Vacuum and maybe we learn more, Maybe space isn't a vacuum as much as we think. Sure from a functional point, there's not much which we can do with this, and it's mostly limits to what we can know, but I don't have to sit here, and not attempt to predict further with the information we have, I will frame hypothesis if I can and have time.

    There is a design. There is a designer. There is a creation. There is a creator. The answer is God. You cannot have the finite without the infinite. God is infinite. I used to love being atheist and daydream about what was before the Big Bang. It took all of 35 years or so to draw the conclusion, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW. We're not gonna wake up one day watch an episode on the science channel about the actual beginning lol. God spoke the universe into existence - Big Bang - sound - vibrations. It's so amazing once you surrender to it.

      what if the universe is just constant repetition of man fusing into a supercomputer to watch the end of time in the vast empty space and gathering data whether entropy can be reversable but having no one to report the results to? In short, I guess we're eventually becoming the super-computer Gods...

    Asking the question; "who made the thing that made us,?" Does not make you appear smarter than you are. It just means you're saying it out loud when everyone is already thinking it.

    So matter and energy can’t be created or destroyed, the law of conservation, and now the universe can create itself. No beginning and no end, well that clears it up.

    For us people at the moment it looks like time is an important dimension. Time is not a important dimension but a gauge to measure energy to mass transformation which is not an instant occurance
