Nah, knock away. I partially posted it here to be critiqued. I want to know if it's bull hahah.
Yeah, so I'm glad you brought up the Speed of Light as a boundary, because I think that's a great point, especially considering practicalities. Though I do think that our current practical limits should not be used as evidence as to what actually exists in reality.

The underlying logic is that while beginnings, endings,... (read 1237 more words →)
