You know how everything has that lives is in a continuous circle, and that one day each circle ends and restarts a little while after it ends, well what if time is also in it's one continuous circle, do you think that when it ends, it'll just repeat it's self, but each time it'll be somewhat different, like new things will be added or things taken away. And if you agree with this then do you thing we see the past or future circles in our dreams, kinda like we know what has or what will happen, but it doesn't really effect us because it is outside of our circle?
People beleive in this stuff are Daoism kind that think that once they die they are born again. I thought about the possibilities but it could be true and the outside maybe won't stop us but we don't know. either it is what is supposed to happen or not. That is the real question here.
Time is an oddity. It is a dimension, but not a spatial one. We can only move forward with time, not backwards. As for time circles, there have been many theories. Stephen Hawking at one point thought that if the universe started to contract then time would run in reverse back to the Big Bang and then perhaps turn around again and run forwards again. However he has dropped this as it doesnt fit in with other theories (mainly the 3 arrows of time [Psychological, entropical and cosmological] ). There is also the theory that the universe (and its many dimensions) are infinite but with finite area. Take the earth for example, we all know that the earth only has so much land which is pretty much fixed. But if you walked around the earth you wont fall off. Hence finite area, but infinite at the same time. So perhaps time is like that, existing forever but with there only being so "much" of it.
An interesting theory. If time does move in a circle however it would have a circumference a lot longer than just one lifetime. Time is also supposed to be linear and the concept that this warps causing the time line to cross would potentially cause paradoxes.
I really don't know. I've always thought that there are different realities than these somewhere and that maybe you have another life in one of them when you die. But that's just me.
Time seems to progress forward to me but not loop back. Some patterns arise that seem like circles though as events transpire over a series of time that seem to duplicate in a way. I'm not really sure I believe in time circles though. Even the idea of reincarnation which a soul can go from an old form to a new one may seem circular but is actually progressive and forward so even on the spiritual level it doesn't seem to work right to me.
I wouldn't say time goes in a circle. Our lives aren't endless. They end many years later. Our lives is a circle with a gap at some area. The gap is the area when we die. Like a bridge, it stops the track if it breaks. So the circle is a bridge with a broken gap at one end. But I can say is that our afterlives IS one big circle. Our afterlives never die so we can live forever in the afterlife (assuming if anyone here believes in the afterlife).
