Simple Binary thought ... is something relative or absolute, local or global, closed or open ... and since Thus Far we cannot SEE far enough to see if we have a closed or open system, then speculation is just that, speculative and NOT a proof. One of the Most Abused concepts IS Entropy. But it is fun. One can Always CREATE a Model of something which does not really exist. Does an equation actually Match that which the creator claims it fits? How do you test a theory, especially one in Time?

Centrifuge, conservation of matter and energy, and attributes as assigned to A but not B, C, D... usw. For an analogy to work, you must assign rational comparisons. Time is not complex, it is a reference point, past, present and future. Humans who refuse to let go of Experience refuse to accept, they NEED a beginning and an end, yet eternity and infinity are very simple concepts. Work within the system as the system exists, do not add what is absent nor subtract what is there. Fiction is Cool.
