I have noticed a discrepency in your twisted space theory, Fintan. If
space is twisted, then no such thing as a Euclidean line will exist (and in
fact does not). This is itself perhaps not a major deal until you realize
that this no longer allows us to view time as the linear function it appears
to be.
IF space is twisted, I do believe it also means that the Big Bang was
rotating "before" time began. If this is the case, it seems as if it would
have taken an infinite amount of time for the Big Bang to occur at all...in
other words, it never did occur in a way we can normally conceive of with
our classical
notion of space and time.
I see correlations with the traditional version of heaven and hell in your
theory that cause dis-ease in me as well. While I understand what you are
offering is only an analogy, still it seems much more restrictive in its
outlook than does the Metaphysics of Quality.
Thoughts?
