17 Oct 10 - 07:20 AM (#3009002) Subject: RE: BS: The end of time? From: MGM·Lion I once started a What Went Big Bang? thread which ran&ran [sort of]. What I want to ask re this one is, what noise will it make? When it goes Boom or Pfft or Whimper or whatever, where will it all go? What will come after it? And in what sense is the end of stuff [whatever it may be] the end of time? As Ben Elton remarks in one of his novels, these are the sort of questions that only stupid people ask. So that's me put in my place, Prof Hawking! Eh? ~Michael~ |

17 Oct 10 - 04:39 PM (#3009365) Subject: RE: BS: The end of time? From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Did any Mediaeval theologians actually discuss how many angels could dance (or otherwise accommodate themselves) on a pinhead? Even if they didn't, I've often thought that such a question has about as much relevance to anything useful as this kind of speculation by all sorts of astronomers, physicists, and the like, but it keeps them in research grants just as these mediaeval boys were kept in good boiled capons while the peasantry struggled to survive. |

18 Oct 10 - 01:55 PM (#3009965) Subject: RE: BS: The end of time? From: Rapparee I think we have to distinguish between the end of "time" and the end of "duration." The last is defined as eternity plus 1, or the period you wait for someone to pay back the fiver they borrowed. |
