- empyrrhicist 3y agoNot a physicist, but I know that there are physicists who disagree with that. See: Roger Penrose and CCC.
- eis 3y agoI'm not sure if Penrose suggests that time stops once there are only photons left. He says it is equivalent to the situation at the Big Bang and time certainly didn't stop there. In fact, in his conformal cyclical cosmology spacetime goes on indefinitely but just reboots regularily.
- empyrrhicist 3y agoRight,but I think the idea implies that time is different, not that it keeps going on as normal. Honestly not sure though.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoApparently time requires mass...
- koprulusector 3y agoHas it been proven that electrons decay?
- empyrrhicist 3y agoI don't think so
