cshaftoe: What's the difference between linear and non-linear when you have temperal dimension that can be seen as infinitely small? I think there is no difference! Our interpretation of time can be linear or non-linear, but time is both linear and non-linear at the same time. For instance: infinity^2=infinity And infinity-2=infinity. There's just no difference. And then there is still this question: How do you define time? In my opinion there are 2 ways to define time: 1. Time began at the point where temperal dimensions where able to exist and ends in infinity. 2. Time begins at the point where something is able to experience it's existance and ends when there's nothing to prevent it from becoming a loop. When time forms a perfect loop (wich means that every time the loop 'restarts everything happens exactly the same as the timebefore that. So if someone's trapped in a temperal loop and the person is able to experience that he/she is in that loop, than the loop is not perfect, because the person trapped in the loop might act different when the loop restarts.)it's no longer of any 'use'. At that point time has become a negligible factor and therefor it can be considered non-existend. In both cases a 'Big-bang' has nothing to do with the existence of time as a whole.
