““Physicists and cosmologists have long questioned whether a state of perfect symmetry ever existed in the past, we just haven't ever considered it as a possible future. We have been convinced instead, because we observe a measure of randomness that the order of the universe is simply winding down. But if anything it is winding up! Everything is enfolding together. The final state of zero which the universe has been evolving toward since the very dawn of time is simply the native state of the Universe. It is the timeless whole. It is truly everything forever. And we aren’t really becoming, we are already there. The universe we know, the past, the future, and the infinity of other universes, all exist simultaneously. We are inside that whole. We are a part of the native state of zero, part of the eternal present.””
