Time depends upon discontinuity. In Alphoma, the vast majority of the universal stock of energy will be formed into a homogenous mass of seamless flows. Within this mental sphere there will be virtual time, at the absolute control of the inhabitants, but there will be no real time. There will, however, be a residual element of physical, discontinuous energy as an underpinning to Alphoma, otherwise the explosion could never happen. Real time completes its circuit but in Alphoma it loses its power. From the perspective of us in Nature, the universe started with the primal atom and ends with its re-creation. For the Alphoma inhabitants there is no perceivable break. The bliss is uninterrupted. BACK
