Hi Kai,
Thank you for your information. And yes I read it. Yet before we are moving towards a discussion that is besides the point, I'd like to hear you clarify how you use the word continuum. I have no problem with the aspect of continuation, since that is what the scientific facts are telling us: the universe is in a motion of continuation. Yet I have been reading about the word continuum in the special circumstance of the universe expanding, contracting, expanding, contracting, and so on. I consider that a belief, not grounded on scientific facts (though not conflicting with it either, like most well-thought out beliefs).
For me, the scientific information points to the universe as the vase that broke. The pieces are eternally there on their treks through space, undergoing some changes sometimes.
Are you talking about continuation (as I describe with the broken vase never to be put back together again) or about continuum (where the pieces of the vase somehow return to being a vase again and then break again)?
The difference between a structure based on unification and a structure without unification hinges on the question if nothing is just plain nothing or if nothing is mighty fundamental. Read In Search of a Cyclops with titillating mathematical evidence (see homepage) to find out if separation belongs to the fundamental basics of our universe - or not.
Thank you very much for that information, Lloyd. You are normally not the person to use the word absolute, except when you claim other cannot use it at the overall level, so I appreciate it very much that you do make that step now. I fully agree with your words. That is, if you agree that the word continuum means continuation of the current state (with all its happenstances), and not that it indicates the universe will reverse course.

I do not understand the intention of using a name that rings like mine and that looks like mine. Had it not been handier to use a different name, even when you partially had its character be built on your experiences of your interaction with me?
I believe I am battling the word continuum here instead of the idea of eternal expansion and retraction. I am not interested in words; I am interested in discussing ideas. Has everyone backed off from the idea of a continual expanding and contracting universe? Because then the discussion is moot.
To start it up again, I consider the idea of an expanding and contracting universe a belief.

No Fredrick, I use the term as Poincare' used it in debating Boltzmann, at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. The Universe is cyclic, as a final decay of the particle/waves, within the Entire Universal Continuum, absolutely must recycle__for there to be any sort of continuing Universe, as you also mention__And we scientifically know it's a continuing Continuum... Their debate was about the thermodynamic motions of gas molecules, with Boltzmann stating the 'total entropy of molecules' and Poincare' arguing a 'return state beyond entropy'. Poincare' has been proven correct with later scientific developments enabling atomic electron microscope evidence of gas' atoms settling to the bottom of the elemental scale within closed containers. Of course, at the Universal level, all we have is the science of Entropy's Decay Rates, The Universal Laws of Conservation of Matter and Energy, and The Conservation of Universal Momentum, requiring a return cycle of all atomic and quantum decayed matter particle-waves, to their final state changes of 'The Necessity of Re-Combinatoric Logic', to have any Universe at all__as past time eternity, 'Necessitates' this cosmic journey's state change time, Many Times Over__in the eternal distant past. Whether it be any of the Big-Bang, Inflation, Expansion, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Emergence or whatever your flavor of theory, that's another question__as to me those are not scientific thinkings__'Only the Necessity of The Decay Model Re-Cycling Combinatoric Logic is Science'__since Time/Distance Maths Absolutely Require It to Re-Cycle__To Exist__or It Would Have Long Ago, Passed Out of Existence__and We Wouldn't Be Here...
We Exist__It Exists__It Recycles...!!!
It's Logically and Combinatorically True, by The Absolute Necessity of 'No Other Scientific Arithmetic Logic Exists', or Is Scientifically Possible To Prove__This Logic Proves Itself__By Contradiction Being Scientifically Impossible...!!!
And Falsifiability Is Achieved By The 'No-Thing State' Being Impossible__Also__So Two Non-Contradictions__Against Each Other__Prove The Truth Caught In The Included Middle Ground of All Possible, Probable and Necessary Thought__At This Level__The Highest Level Possible...!!!
This is the first quote, on the first page of 'East Meets West Logic...'
"Equator of Self-contradiction is the Absolute logic. It is the Nuclear Logic Cross of cosmic unity and Self-creator of All in all.
There is nothing that is not an aspect of the All in all - Spacetime. This fact is the most elusive truth about the geometry of Cosmos. It is the Singularity, the Equator and common String of All in all. Hold on to it, for its the future not the past." - Aiya-Oba... 2/12/2007

Dear Fredrick:
As an advocate of the (formally abandoned) 'Steady State' theory (reinstated) my views on 'continuum' do not include reversals of directions of motion - regarding the observed red shift expanding universe, for example. There is no 'pulsating' universe or something-out-of-nothing 'big bang beginning' universe, or serial occurrences of 'little big bangs'. No broken and reassembled vase dynamics.
The ('4-D space-time) 'continuum' is represented by the illustrations in post # 713 of this thread. The ever-expanding concentricities are a continuum; sub atomic particles (neutrons, protons & electrons) are in a constant state of continuously enlarging expansion. Just as the surface of the earth is (consequently) a continuously accelerating frame of reference. The Calculus measures the - at any given moment - progressively continuous acceleration of non uniformly moving (omnidirectionally expanding) coordinate systems. There is no 'fragmentation' (beyond a microcosmic consideration of the discontinuous emissions of Planck's constant h).
Please consider the dynamics of the series of concentricities illustrated at post #713 and the 'ensemble of systems, heirarchy of multi-moment 4-D space-time' representation in the profile of the goddess. I submit that this is the meaning of what Einstein called 'the 4-D space-time continuum', viz., everything is constantly expanding at right angles to the three recognized dimensions. This does not infringe on the law of conservation of mass-energy, because it is the same amount of energy constantly distributing itself through and over increasing volumes of space. Does that clarify my intended meaning with regard to the usage of the world 'continuum'?
Best regards,
- Kai

Since the universe is here now, this being any old unspecial time and place (its seems), the universe must have a way of keeping on going (recycling). It could be that the cycle is in many billions of years, leading one to falsely interpret that the universe is only 13.75 billions years old.

thats what happened to my slinky... !!!!
Max Planck, said that “all matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration which holds the atom together. We must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.“
and ....from an old master ... Ancora impara!
