Ok fine. I will ask if no one else will: what on earth is a “flat circle” ? how would it be different from a *not* flat circle? And why can’t one simply say “time is a circle?” to mean the same thing? what is with all the “flatness” I don’t get it. Someone please explain.

I mean I suppose it must be metaphorical- to say time is a circle makes history cyclic, but if it’s also flat? that means no growth, no possibility that there are highs or lows if any significance. Everyone keeps looking at current events and repeating that grim quip to me.

@futurebird
for 2 billion years everyone said "time is a flat circle" and then the Great Oxidation Event happened.but these days I guess people don't remember such important events.

I have my own theories on time based on John Wheeler’s One Electron Universe Theory which is, when you understand the implications, is mind blowing, and beautiful. When you see how he sees the electron behave, you get a sense of immediate and profound real connection to every single molecule in the universe and the electron that gives us form everywhere all at once dancing within us all throughout eternity.
