Essay Abstract

This short essay addresses the complexity of studies on the nature of time. It is based around the concept that time only exists because we are human. It places us in a mode of infinity. It states that all things at their greatest level meet at the same point, infinity. The conclusion is that the understanding of the most complex systems can be attained by studying simple systems because they are all infinitely connected.

Dear Nicholas,

Great thoughts! I will quote just two:

“There was no time before life.” “We only notice a progression in time because of our limited sensory tools.”

Best wishes,

Cristi Stoica
