Ok, so you don't like the donught...how about this one?
Some good questions and postulations there Fiashy! It is weird to think about, but this type of action would acccount for the inflationary nature of the early universe. From my understanding the universe is expaninding more rapidly the closer you look to our current "time" that the rate has been increasing since the early universe. Time would appear to slow down, thus accounting for the apparent increase.
With the sphere conceptualization, it would fit more with our observations, in that whereever you looked you would be looking back toward the beginning, and there doesn't need to be any hole. But also looking toward the end, in which case everything would look the same anyway? Hmm, but wouldn't you see contraction, or would the reverse flow of time make a contraction look like an expansion? Now i've confused myself! :lol: Or are we limited to a forward perspective since everything is moving outward from the center such as:
Just condeptualize that in three dimensions, and the center hole would not be percieveable as there is no light or matter...just an outward flow of time and space, that eventually returns back to center. Would time necessairly have to run backwards, or rather just move forwards with space contracting upon itself in a Big Crunch? Time is fast in the beginning, slows down near the center point, and then speeds up again as we round the bend, still forward by varying rates of speed depending on where we reside along the continum of the torus.
Interesting thought experiments, wish my brain worked better to conceptualize and communicate these ponderings
