Under traditional physics theories, quantum probabilities allow for multiple universe, indeed they suggest that everything that could happen from the beginning of time forward does happen or that it is only prevented by having probabilities collapse into one central probability. Neither String hologram theory nor the "more sophisticated" non-linear time theory requires this, although String hologram theory would be more likely to cling to it in certain branches.
Traditional physics theories have trouble at the beginning of the universe where relativity breaks down under the collapse of time...where under those theories it doesn't exist. It hasn't begun. The minor difference, that it does exist but that it is not non-linear (Einstein's anti-corollary, if you would-anti matter suggested by matter but is the opposite of matter of destroys it so anti-corollary seems an appropriate designation for the idea that everything happens at once when time goes non-linear) allows for an entirely new vision of the universe.
In this NLT universe, we live within a narrow band, a potentially infinite, but narrow band, of times under compression. While there is much to say that we experience all of compression, who are we to deny the possibility that large amounts of what we call matter cannot compress to make something less complex (space is suggested by expansion) but it is also possible that something entirely different is happening.
Under this scenario, instead of time going non-linear in black holes, instead of all black holes going somewhere where we cannot follow, you have something quite different happening.
To follow the progression (from the earlier discussions):
1) Time goes non linear from "Substance X" to make space (clock time 1)
2) Space compresses and slows down to make energy and clock time 2 begins;
3) Energy compresses and slows down and clock time 3 begins and then....
4) Matter compresses into black holes and slows down. Instead of time coiling and becoming non-linear, something magical happens, clock time 4 starts. Hence what we see and experience as the coiling back of time, might actually be the beginning of clock time 4 with the compression of matter. We "experience" what energy must experience when it changes to matter and, indeed, what space must experience when it changes to energy.
I am not ready to buy into this theoretical model which would greatly complicate the model and would force us to rethink many of the tenants of NLT, but it does have a certain "i don't know what" to it. The problem with this type of progression is that gravity is almost clearly the tendency of time to go non-linear. The answer may be more complicated however. It is possible that clock time 2 collapses and clock time 3 replaces it when energy compresses to make matter and that clock time 1 collapses and clock time 2 replaces it when space compresses into matter.
With the idea of conservation of dimension and time these shifts make for interesting models, but those will have to covered in later chapters.
