>Time as having no beginning and no end? Isn't this the description of >eternity? Timelessness? As Dries van Oosten pointed out this doesn�t mean that time is infinte. It should be seen as a sort of ball, where you keep running around on the surface. >If we understand time as something which measures >or expresses a relationship between motion, distance, and objects then a >temporal plane such as the one in which we live is separate from an eternal >one by the nature of the two. I don�t exactly get what you mean here, but when do you think "time" ends? >I confess to vast unfamiliarity with >Hawking's theories, but my imagination tells me that to travel the >distances of space (as we measure distance), we not only must overcome the >distance involved but time. Agreed. It takes time to overcome the distance. So the distance isn�t the real problem, but time is. >This doesn't mean time as in going faster to do >it in less, but to travel in some way as to make our current understanding >of time irrelevant. Perhaps this means, then, that we find some manner of >entering eternity as a method of overcoming both distance and time. > You mean something like: - Now I�m here. - Blink to eternity - Blink, now I�m there (say 1 sec. later, and 3000000 lightyears further) >This, by the way, is beginning to sound like a crossing point of scientific >and theological constructs. > Hawking might have meant a God by his "higher" dimension.
