F Theory & M Theory: Exploring the Connection Between Two Theories

In summary: I still think that the future might exist. It's just that we can't know for sure.Originally posted by MajinVegeta We don't know that the future doesn't exist anymore than we know the past has ceased to exist. We only know what our perceptions tells us and, unfortunately, we only perceive a single slice of time. I see. Thank you for your input.In summary, the two theories have a connection but it is not clear what it is.

Are you saying that, if it is disorderly, then it can be orderly?

No, not orderly as in completely orderly. What I mean is 'portions' could be orderly, and others wouldn't be orderly. And that's what makes it disorderly, disproportional. BUT, don't take what I'm saying as factual; I'm speculating at the top of my head.

Majin, whether it's altogether disorderly or orderderly is not really important. What I'm saying is that if it is getting more disorderly then it is getting less and less orderly, isn't that right?

Precisely!

But what does 'disorder' imply about the universe? Chaos?

Then the idea of entropy's "increasing in more than one direction" is nonsensical, is it not?

Alas, there are quite a few people who hold to the idea of two time dimensions, and so there may be some good reasoning behind it. Don't just take my reasoning, learn as much as you can about them (if your interested) and make your own conclusion.
