@The Anointed,
Quote: Each second which comes to life is the resurrection from the death of the preceding second of birth.
What makes you think that one second follow another? I was once told that a second encapsulates eternity, as in, it is not midnight at one second to midnight, it is not midnight at a half second to midnight, it is not midnight at a quarter of a second to midnight add infinity. where does one cease fractionalizing a second? When we reach Planck time?
Is eternity encapsulated in a second? In the deepest sense — yes. Not because a second contains eternity, but because eternity is not made of time at all. A second, a half‑second, a quarter‑second, a millionth of a second — these are all temporal divisions. Eternity is not a longer version of time. It is the absence of time.
Planck time, is where space loses meaning, time loses meaning, momentum loses meaning: Have we now reached the singularity of origin? We are describing the human attempt to reach a boundary that cannot be reached by dividing time, because the boundary is not temporal.
You can divide a second forever, and you will never arrive at “eternity,” because eternity is not the limit of time — it is the other side of time. So, “Where does one cease fractionalizing a second?” In physics, the answer is clear: You stop at Planck time, which is approximately: 10^{-43}\mathrm{\ seconds} It is the smallest meaningful unit of time in physical reality. Below that scale: Space loses meaning, time loses meaning, momentum loses meaning, causality loses meaning: Have we now reached the singularity of origin?
It is not that “time stops. It’s that time ceases to exist as a measurable dimension. So yes — Planck time is the final grain of sand in the hourglass of physics. You cannot cut time smaller than that without leaving the universe of measurable reality. But eternity is not Planck time, Planck time is the smallest physical moment. Eternity is the absence of moments.
Planck time is the last tick of the cosmic clock. Eternity is the silence after the clock stops. This is why the question is so profound: You can divide time down to the Planck scale but you will never reach eternity by division, because eternity is not the smallest time It is the absence of time, Eternity is not the limit of the sequence. It is the realm outside the sequence.
