Happy Face 29 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 ....then all possible realities must exist at all times, right here right now. Or is it really complicated? Never thought I'd be in the reality where Ameobi gets a standing ovation in St James' Park again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 If it's infinite, how come it's expanding? It's re-colonising the space from its last expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is and it isn't. It is moving into the future (time +expansion) as it receeds (-time - retraction). The question you're asking is the same one I was thinking about when starting the thread. It's a tough one for us to imaging cause to us space and time are very concrete, but in universal time they are really only ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras 234 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Infinite is not the same as all-encompassing. Imagine a cube. Now take off the top and bottom. Imagine the space in the cube expanding infinitely upwards and downwards. This is infinite without encompassing the areas to the north, south, east and west of the cube.
