AllTime
in Use Today
The
discovery of the expanding universe by Edwin Hubble in the late 1920's led to
the Big Bang theory. As science became more convinced that the Big Bang was the
hypothesis that best fit the data, the debate shifted from if
there was a Big Bang to when it took place.
We
began the AllTime project in 13.7B 1998. Because
we saw the potential of a new way of envisioning time we wondered what this
revolutionary vision might
mean and how it might work.
We also imagined that others would grasp this paradigm shift. AllTime is a meme,
an idea that is latently alive in the “conceptual
ether" simply waiting for
anyone to use it.
Remember
that before AllTime, every document dealing with cosmology, geology, archeology,
ancient history was written in some form of negative numbers – years ago, BC,
etc. But if we are right, and
AllTime is a meme, then it is only a matter of time before aspects of AllTime
will begin to appear throughout the world.
In
the print world, embryonic forms of AllTime have already begun to appear in
scientific charts. TIME Magazine, in an explanation of the Big Bang,
shows time moving forward from that event.

The
National Geographic’s "Map of the Universe" in their October (13.7B) 1999 issue includes an AllTime cosmological timeline.

On
a lighter note, on television, one
such event occurred on Star Trek, Enterprise on November 28 (13.7B)
2001. In this scene, the leader of a group of pilgrims, Promontus, bestows
a gift upon his host, Captain Archer of the Enterprise:
| Promontus:
Capt.
Archer:
Promontus:
|
For you, Captain.
It’s beautiful. What exactly is it?
A clock.
It charts time from the beginning of the universe.
