There may be limits to just about everything, but some things: the most powerful forces in the universe, may be without limits. Time is one of these things, a universal force in the universe that may be without limits. On this planet, we measure time according to day and night, when the sun comes up and the sun comes down. However, how do you measure time when these things don’t exist? Do you measure time through a number, a date and time of which there is no meaning without reference, merely a record of things transpired?
What if time is circular? There is day and there is night then day again, and time that has come before will come after, and time of the future has occurred before? But if what has come before has already occurred in the future, how is there a moment here and now? This is when I realized I’m thinking about time 2 dimensionally. What if there is a third dimension to time which differentiates between the “past” and the “future”, because time travels circularly in a spiral? Whereas a circle can be traced infinitely, it is essentially still the same circle and you would essentially travel in the same place. Therefore time would not exist because there is only one “unit” of time, which is that circle, of which nothing new could possibly happen. However, time that moves not only in a circle, but also in a spiral can go on indefinitely, while repeating the cycles of day and night, or past and future, but traveling on a different plane so as to avoid traveling on the same spot, creating the concept of time?
Space is probably also infinite. We could basically choose any direction and go on infinitely. On the planet it is because the world is round, so like the circle analogy we would travel on the same spot eventually. But in space what if it is because space is actually infinite? If space is not infinite, what would happen if you reached the edge of space? Would you just not be able to go anymore? Would it be a barrier through which nothing can pass, and as alien and as frightening as the infinite? Trying to imagine absolute nothingness is probably as hard to imagine as infinity, and I am not talking about empty space of which there is nothing there. I’m talking about non existence, the kind which does not exist. So how do you imagine or sense something that does not exist?
