(I think I am describing hyperspace, but I'm not sure...)
Very good---your explanation describes the difference between "linear existence" and "parallel existence". (Ever watch Deep Space Nine?)
There are those who believe that the Universe is composed of
a single fundamental particle; and time is not linear, but prescribes a great circle (which
appears linear because we are so small in comparison to the circumference); thus our "fundamental particle" circles again and again
forming the vastness of matter...
I have a suspicion that once IN hyperspace, a simple "left turn"
will present time as a PHYSICAL DIMENSION---as easily traversed as your front yard...
(Or "right turn" if you want to go to TOMORROW...)
For those who reject God, and postulate a "continuous universe" (alternately "banging" and "collapsing"), consider a BLACK HOLE---it can be imagined as a two-dimensional rubber sheet, with a dent
into the third dimension (and extrapolating that the SHEET is THREE DIMENSIONS and the DENT is into the
FOURTH SPATIAL dimension). With me? As your "black hole" sucks up more and more matter, its mass increases,
denting the rubber sheet more and more. Eventually, the "inverse square" law manifests (gravity falls off with the square of the distance from a mass)--- the DENT begins to become TEAR-SHAPED. And then approaches SPHERICAL. There comes a time when the BH reaches
critical mass---and the warpage of space is complete into a SPHERE; the rubber sheet POPS back flat again, and the sphere
is buried beneath the sheet. Again, if the SHEET is really NORMAL SPACE, then
your singularity (BH) has just DROPPED OUT OF THE UNIVERSE!!! You can be at the exact physical position and never detect it. (Though it might make HYPERSPACE hazardous in its vecinity...)
The MASS of the Universe
is not constant. There can be no "continuous Universe"...
Time is part of our universe... it has been proven to be integral to our existance and hence God obviously must work in our time to interact with us. that doesn't mean that he actually follows time, or at least time in our sense of the word.
This is good; I don't think people realize how much a part of our Universe time is; I suspect time is not linear, but
exponential. If so,
alottastuff happened VERY QUICKLY at the beginning... (Which, if you were a PART of that Universe, would have appeared quite linear at the time---but non-linear viewed from a later (psuedo-linear-part-of-the-exponential-curve); does that make sense???)
