no time to lose

at times what the eye sees and immediately defines as an object’s motion
towards an end is none other but the end’s backward motion towards the
object. the most recent example i learned of was that of the kiwi egg – it’s a huge egg, ranging to 25 percent of the female kiwi’s body weight. though obviously adaptationally superior to smaller eggs for various reasons, natural history investigations direct us to overlook the urge to describe the evolutionary process as that of an ever growing egg, but rather to apply the alternative – an ever shrinking bird retaining its original egg size.
that having been said, a closer look at an ever expanding universe based
on the motion of galaxies from the inside outward (whatever that may be in an infinite space) may indicate a slight misapprehension of the higher dimensions of the said universe. if we freeze the motion of the galaxies for a moment, and observe the estimated point of departure – it would seem to do quite nicely as a point of arrival as well (a gnab gib, as coined by a well-known contemporary thinker). all we would need is a motion propelling the galaxies into that point at a reasonable pace. and what better force can we find than the universe itself, in its’ infinite entirety and might? a universe constantly shrinking with its’ borders still far from view, but closing in rapidly. so rapidly, in fact, that the galaxies moving towards their decimation point, getting closer to one another, seem to be moving away from each other and expanding outwards..
and what conclusion can one reach other than that the motion of time,
integrated in that of space as body is in soul, travels in the same
direction the universe has chosen – the road leading to beginning and away from the end.
