Singularity
∞ — Center of Black Hole
Time may have a boundary. The future may be unavoidable.
The Breakdown of Law
hysics is the study of rules. At a singularity, the rules break. Our equations result in 'infinity,' which is a mathematical way of saying 'we don't know.' It suggests that general relativity is incomplete, and that a deeper theory—quantum gravity—is needed to describe the fabric of reality at this scale. Until then, the singularity remains a locked door at the end of time.
Singularity
From the beginning to the end, time's ultimate fate remains a mystery, perhaps collapsing into a singularity where all distinctions vanish.
The Heart of the Hole
A black hole is not a solid object. It is a region of space where gravity has overcome all other forces. Matter is crushed until it has zero volume but infinite density. In this extreme state, spacetime curvature becomes infinite. Time doesn't just stop; it ceases to have meaning as a dimension separate from space. It is the ultimate knot in the fabric of the universe.
The Big Crunch?
Some theories suggest the universe itself began as a singularity (the Big Bang) and may end as one (the Big Crunch). In this view, the singularity is not just a drain, but a seed. The end of one time may be the beginning of another, looping the narrative of Archive 007 back to the start. Inevitability becomes recurrence. The end is the beginning.
