> According to CCC (AIUI), all of the infinitely many future universes have already started, but each universe will end before even an instant of time has elapsed for the next universe: that is, "time" as measured in one universe is on an entirely different scale from "time" in another universe.
This is superficially similar to the hyperreal numbers, where you can have a set of numbers up to infinity that is strictly less than another similar infinite set.
- irrational 6y agoIs time longer (or shorter) in the next universe? That is, if we could compare seconds or minutes, would the ones in the next universe be longer or shorter?
- Diggsey 6y agoYou could either look at time in the next universe as being infinitely longer, or you could view it as being an entirely different axis from time in the current universe. I suspect that physically, or even mathematically, it's impossible to draw a distinction between those two descriptions.
