A Reimagining of the Big Bang as the Big Drop

Drops within drops within drops

Supposition
If it requires force to propel mass through the spatial dimension of spacetime, would it not follow that there be  a requisite force to propel mass through the temporal dimension of spacetime?   

Thought Experiment 
Let us view “time” as a near-infinite well in which an object, that is said to have a beginning, is dropped into the well at its origination. Further let us drop Object A (Origination Event A) into the well and let us let A fall for twenty years (10,512,000 seconds). Prior to dropping Object B into the time-well it can be said that Object B has been falling for zero percent of the time A has been falling, B does not “exist” yet. Dropping Object B (Origination Event B) and allowing it to fall for one minute (60 seconds), it can be said that B has been falling for .0000000951% as long as A has been falling. 

Given another 20 years after Origination Event B, Object A would have fallen into the time-well for 40 years and Object B would have fallen for 20 years. Object B would have been falling  for 50% of the time A would have been falling. Given 500 years after “Origination Event A, Object  B would have been falling for 97% (480 years) of the time A  would have been falling (500 years). Ever closer to 100 percent.

In order to attain 100% the denominators would have to be equal in value, the only  number that could possibly be is infinity, meaning both objects would have to fall for an infinite amount of “time.” From an independent frame of reference it would seem to a persistent witness that Object B accelerated toward Object A in the time-well but that it can never quite catch up, unless given an infinite amount of time.

Continuum 
The above thought experiment simplifies spacetime into the time dimension and one spatial dimension.  Let us now imagine that there is a force accelerating the objects through time not unlike how gravity would accelerate the masses of A/B (toward a very massive and distant center of gravity) in the above “time-well” thought experiment. Let us also imagine that instead of “falling” objects particles are accelerated through their worldlines.  It would seem to take an infinite (or near such) amount of this supposed  “time-force/energy” to propel particles toward infinity (not unlike the requisite amount of energy needed to create a very massive object,  propel mass to the speed of light, or even create a universe.)

This “time-force/energy,” it is further supposed, originated at the Big-Drop (a reimagining of the Big Bang), when all particles in the universe were propelled into the time dimension (dropped into the time-well). All particles would appear chaotically random but would  follow their predetermined worldine (per primordial rules and conditions) as determined at the origination event, Big Drop, (like surface waves from a disturbance in a pond). All predeterminate temporal “events” can be seen has happening instantaneously in infinity (no-time or end of time). We merely perceive the “passage” of time as our consciousness is a manifestation of an entropic chemical process.                   

Everything not held together by binding forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong and weak interaction ) would be “seen” as falling away from everything else in all dimensions of spacetime. Given enough “time” or more accurately if able to witness all worldlines in the universe, eventually even the binding forces will succumb to “time” and “return” to the emptiness of no-time/infinity.   

Reflective
Can it be said that, “everything”’essentially exists in its own “time-well” receding from everything else?
If cosmic objects were viewed as falling away from each other in the curvatures of time as well as in the three spatial dimensions at ever increasing speed (all dimensions of spacetime instead of falling away in space only), would this “time force/energy”’ manifest in a way similar to the noticeable effects attributed to dark energy?
From the frame of reference of any one observer, would it not appear as if  this force was accelerating the longer one observed or the further back in time one looked?

  1. A musing on time…
    Truly a difficult thing to understand, what is common sense proves nonsense, and the ephemeral give illusion of substance. Try as I might I truly cannot comprehend that which has no end.
