Time
Of every post I've made in the last week or so I can only hope that some of you whose interests have been peaked can grasp this simple concept. It deals with time and everything we currently think about time. So much emphasis has been put on the possible point singularity from which all that we see has expanded from. To this end we feel the same singularity that created the matter we see also created the time we feel. The problem is that although they are intricately related they both have no smallest or largest unit of measure. They exist in all directions both inwards and outwards for an infinite chain of larger or smaller measurements and they both can be visualized and measured as relative absolutes. If one can fathom the likely probability that time and space are infinite in all directions then one can see how silly it is to think that the same singularity (or event) that started the process of our expanding universe also created the interwoven time that we use to perceive it upon. Time is an absolute and can have no beginning or end. Some may try to argue otherwise but that’s because they base their deductions on a house of cards that can easily blow over with a sneeze.

Re: Time
That is my basic problem. I don't understand what it means to have multiple or infinite universes. It may be that there is no way to understand it outside of mathematics.
That is because everything that the currently accepted paradigm focuses on is the time and space that we can detect and our interpretations of their coexistence. Time and space are a fabric, an infinitely large and infinitely small fabric that matter and life revolve upon and reevolve upon and they are very intricately intertwined with mathematical equations. The way I like to think of it is to use a lowercase u as in universe to represent all that we can detect both inwards and outwards and an uppercase U as in Universe to represent the infinite fabric of space-time that our tiny little universe exists within. Our “Point” in space-time that we call our universe or what I would classify as our Outer Significant Relative Pocket of Space Time is one of an infinite number of such pockets of space-time each with their own unique re-EVOLutionary path though our shared fabric.
