Galatic time

A general "rant" about Time

Galatic Time

A universe where different environments exist on different planets as opposed to different environments existing in different countries on 1 planet. Key to a galatic time is transportation. Previous to a true galatic time there would need to be exploration and discovery. And previous to this discovery and invention of transportation vehicles themselves. Galatic time would be a time / universe which would be kinder to travel in space. (Assuming space is the key medium for transportation). How would one travel between different planets / star systems? Would everything have to be close together? Would we travel at "light speed" to go to different star systems? My inspiration no doubt is the movie trilogy Star Wars.

One Big World Time

The current universe. Where we realise that going in to outer space becomes impractical. And so over time we realise that we live not on a relatively small planet but actually a big one. Different lands have different environments. If we want to go to the desert we go to the Middle East. If we want to go to a rainforest environment we might go to the Amazon. If we want to go to a snow environment we might go to Russia. In contrast to Galatic Time where you travel to different planets to experience different environments.

Is there the chance to do more exploration or do we do more with what we've got? Are we a world wanting to live in a Galatic Time? Or are we happy with just staying on 1 planet? Is it our fate to age on this planet of ours? Is it enough?

 

On another note, what if there were times previous to the BB. According to current science there was no before and everything that exists now comes from that one singularity. Would it help if we knew there were other times? (If this were possible). Surely we live in the here and now and our main task is survival?

Does it change your idea to know that the above isn't true? Science doesn't say "there was no before". Science says "we don't know what there was before, if anything". There's a difference.

No, there is no galactic time that we are aware of. I guess I was just postulating on different models for A universe. As it stands it looks like we have one big planet with life on it and the rest stars and other planets. We may find life elsewhere but not yet.

The two models mentioned appear to be one in which things develop in to spheres.

I can think of a different time where things are triangular centric.

Notice which day this was posted. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_year

The galactic year provides a conveniently usable unit for showing cosmic and geological time periods together. Very differently, a "billion-year" scale does not allow for useful difference between geologic events, and a "million-year" scale needs some rather large numbers.
