The Apocalyptic Fear
Ok, since I am not a mathematician (nor a scientist of any sort) my interest here is with the nature of analogy. And Gribbin points out a great example, ‘the big bang’ theory. The big bang rests on a logic that comes out of Einstein’s expanding universe theory (which in fact seems relatively factual since telescopes can see galaxies and stars moving ever further apart). But this leads one necessarily to this idea of a ‘singularity’. Another counter factual construct. Hence Stephen Hawking adjusted his math (in my short form version). He adjusted his idea of time. And time is a very elusive topic, in terms of physics (or philosophy).
