It's been a while so lets have a chat this coming Saturday, September 16th, at 3:00pm Central Standard Time (CST) or GMT-6.
The question to ponder is this...
What's Outside the Universe?
I realize this is somewhat vague and could go a number of different directions and may seem non-sensical to some. How can there be anything outside of the universe? Well, maybe its the time before the universe came into being, although time would not exist so there could be no concept of before. Or it could be after the universe dies, but how could it die? Or it could be the time between the quantum ticks of the universe, except time is undefined there. You might say God is outside of the universe, but what is God? Could a wormhole take us outside of the universe to another universe perhaps? Probably not, at least not a living human body. Perhaps we should ponder the definition of the universe to know what is outside it. So, is time a characteristic of the universe? If so, what would it be like to exist in a timeless void. So many questions...
Timezone Information:
I have added a countdown to the chat session on the
home page, or you can use the
timezone converter to convert to your local time. Once there, enter the day and time as specified above, then select US/Central in the "From Time Zone" column and your own location in the "To Time Zone" column, then click Convert. Be sure and unclick the "Use Current Date/Time" option. This will give you the time of the chat meeting in your own local time.
