Awareness of future probabilities is a common exercise in our lives. In science, the study of probabilities is the essence of quantum mechanics. As an example, if the universe is merely moving toward what is most probable, we must ask why the evolving universe ever found itself to be in such an improbable state near or at the higest state of order. What began my own adventure into the possible realm was a belief that the universe out there is infinitely great, a belief similiar to the Many Worlds theory. The changing world that we experience is much like a story written in a book, a book that includes many stories.
Time is real.
I call everyspace. It has been about ten years since Stephen Hawking and Jim Hartle of the University of California, published their theory that time has no boundary. If time has no boundary it has no beginning. Hawking himself has become ever more adamant about the idea that the universe exists permanently in what is called imaginary time , named so even though imaginary time may be more elementary than ordinary clock time. Notably, Albert Einstein held somewhat similar beliefs of time.
