TIME is resultant of the expansion of the universe, so once it's reached it's limit or shrinks, then will....?

Question

Time freeze and everyone in existence will remain the same age and plants will stop growing etc. But eventually the humans would have to die as all the primary source of food (plants) will run out unless they've developed something by then that can make mortality eternal.

Or if the universe 'crunches' will time be reversed you think?

BQ: Don't you agree that the 'temporal dimension -time' is indeed thought provoking as is the string theory?

Answer 1

Time is a concept of measurement invented by man based on the rotation of Earth relative to our star.



Unless the expansion and shrinking of the universe affects these planetary rotations and orbits, time will continue as normal.

Answer 2

Time may be a result of the expansion of the universe but further expansion certainly isn't required to sustain it.

If the universe were to stop expanding the matter therein would not simply cease to exist. It would continue until it's own particular life span expired. As some of that matter has reproductive qualities the chains would remain unbroken. Thus time remains infinite.

The Earth itself only has a mere 2.5 billion years left and is clearly already in the throws of a mid life crisis.

Answer 3

I feel like the universe will expand infinitely, so as will time. I don't think that time will ever just freeze.



It is fun to ponder though. The string theory blows my mind, as does everything else that pertains to astronomy.

Answer 4

Time will be reversed



BQ: I agree..

Answer 5

time and tide waits for none

Answer 6

MAN - This is P&S your hurting my brain..........
