A bridge to the end of time? Or the beginning? Which would you build?

Question

If the choice were yours, which would you build? Why?

Answer 1

If I built one to the beginning, I think it would be quite dull. Because we don't know where the beginning is. Before the earth, before the stars, before anything, what was there? Nothing but white or black? But those are only colors, colors seen by eyes. So what was it like before eyes? I wonder what it would be like to see absolutely nothing.. no color, no objects, no anything...I think if we went that far into the past, we might just disappear because we haven't been created yet, and then there wouldn't be a future. And if there is a god, he/she/it must have gotten very bored. Unless there was a time, "god" did not exist. And if there was, how did she/he/it form?

If I built a bridge to the end, it might more interesting. I have no idea what I'd see. It would probably be scary. Too complex for me to even comprehend. But if I went to the end of time, wouldn't I instantly die? So....it sound a little pointless to go. I wouldn't learn or achieve anything. I think the end of time will forever be the greatest unknown. But I don't think I'd build a bridge. Its such a risk to mess with time. I think it would be best for me to just stay here. I'm happy, somewhere in the middle of time.

Answer 2

I would build a bridge to the beginning of time because then I would have answers to some of the most important questions that people have asked about the past. Think about it wouldn't you want to know once and for all with no guessing how it all really began? If you look the end of time is coming why RACE to get there?

Answer 3

The end of time is irrational so a bridge would be necessarily superfluous. A bridge to the beginning of time is what every man is building that is if life on this earth is your standard and if you say that your concern is for another life in the beyond I would not believe you.

Answer 4

Languages (signs, representations) have always been there. Time for us is thus designated in the recognition* of these signs concurrent with our own recognition of mortality. What is hidden behind (or beneath) the signs (bridge) is the real mystery. Only the adept (poets) try to build from the bridge that is already there. Poets, not engineers or scientists, are the machinators of time travel.

*Emphasis: time has no relevance without language, a "telling" of what was - is - will be. Parmenides' fragments are good sources of this sort of exposition.

Answer 5

The bridge at the end of time was already built and we're walking through it right now. All we'd have to do is come back once we get to the beginning!0!

Answer 6

Beginning. At the beginning of time, everything is mutable. By influencing the beginning of time, I could change how the present develops. That bridge would be able to bring infinite power to the holder: me. Power has value only if it's used, however, so I'd use it to bring myself prosperity and peace, then to bring prosperity and peace to everything.

Answer 7

a bridge to link ALL time..

future ... past and present.. a continuous spiralling structure... has no beginning has no end... but brings all together.. is that not what the universe is......????? each galaxy..and time another whirl in the spiral... there is no end ...but the apex leads to the central core and therefore back to the beginning...
...
