2004-07-31 Thread Stathis Papaioannou
There has been some discussion in recent posts about Tipler's Omega Point theory, which postulates that an infinite amount of subjective time can be squeezed into the last few moments of a collapsing universe. This is straightforward mathematically using infinite series, but if time is quantised
