They say that a beam of light doesn’t understand time. That if you were to travel at the speed of light, a ray of light would just be one long line with a start and end point.
They also say that a beam of light has infinite possibilities to get to a destination, and the destinations it can get to are infinite as well. As in life, it’s all in the journey. The journey can be as short or as winding as you choose to make it.
But that makes me wonder about things like pi. It’s a journey that is never ending. If a ray of light followed the path of pi, though it gets ever closer, it never reaches its final destination. It is truly immortal.
And if that’s the case, then that must mean universes, in some way, until the numbers stop numbering, are too.
